As much as I hate Pitchfork, Liz Phair's self-titled record deserved a 0.0. it doesn't sound like a Liz Phair album. It sounds like someone put a Sheryl Crow album into a Liz Phair album package.

Los Campesinos!
OK, I totally understand they're on your "regrettable unremarked upon" (hey! at least you kept them) becuase you haven't heard their full length (just the two EPs), "Hold On Now Youngster" (also the name of the first EP). I'd put the album on your list of albums to listen to after you're done (It's…
Quick little comment
I quite like the fact that "Monty Python's Big Red Book" is still in print as of the 51st century.
As a long time Who fan, I can tell you that Tennant is the finest Doctor since Tom Baker (like that was hard, although Peter Davison and Sylvester McCoy were alright).
Y'know I watched an episode of that and thought "this looks like an attempt to make a quirky dark comedy influenced by "Doctor Who" and aimed at tweens". The pilot was alright. It wasn't the best pilot i've seen in the past year ("Pushing Daisies" wins that contest by miles and miles and the rest of the episodes were…
Wait, the SINGLE for "Handlebars" was released in 2008 and the album was reissued in 2008. If you go by that, then they can't put up "You! Me! Dancing!" by Los Campesinos! because that song is like two years old (It appeared in a re-recorded form on their debut full length this year). I think we're going by what…
PS
also, no love for She & Him? or Portishead? or any of the new songs from the Flight of the Conchords album?
Wow
This was a very good list. Alot of it I expected. I like "Death to Los Campesinos!" far better than "You! Me! Dancing". Also nice to see that the overhyping of Vampire Weekend has not deluded the fact that their record is really, really good.
However, that Kate Nash track came out last year (although "Made of…
Y'know what makes this episode funny?
Tennant and Moffett are apparently dating. Admittedly, Moffett is quite the fox, so good pickup there, Tennant.
Their singer posted a tirade on their website about how badly treated and misinformed he was about the whole thing (it's offline now, but trust me, he really disliked the program)

I didn't care for them either. They sounded too much like an ambient/prog band fronted by a Jarvis Cocker impersonator. Only reason I even heard of them is because last.fm recommended them due to my love of Forward, Russia!, The Automatic and several other British indie bands you've likely never heard of.…
Yeah I KNEW it was a reference, and was referring to the fact that the writer totally acknowledge us fans' confusion over the dating.
Kinda funny that the Doctor doesn't even remember when he worked for UNIT, as us fans are completely confused too. (for more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…
Sadly No
Sci-Fi did NOT cut the two things you mentioned above. If only they did.
You should find either "Reproduction" or "Travelouge", the two superdark records they made in the late 70's when they were still making songs like "Being Boiled" and "Circus of Death" and before Phil Oakey tossed Martyn Ware and Ian Marsh out of the band.
There's a bunch of good music out already. You've mentioned your temptation to just listen to some Vampire Weekend sample tracks, and yes the album is good. She & Him (Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward's band) also has a good album out, and Drive-By Truckers, Beach House, Flight of the Conchords, Portishead, Tokyo Police…
First The Fall, then Gorky's Zygotic Mynci and now House of Freaks.
Seriously i'm really hating how Firefox decides to post the comment twice despite the fact I clicked once.

I noticed you crossed off Hot Chip. What did you have? Obviously nothing from "Made in the Dark" (which includes "Ready for the Floor", one of the best songs they've done)

The FIRST movie (the one with the Foo Fighters song on the soundtrack) was called Fight The Future.
