I loved this band so fucking much from 13-18 (ish). Still love 'em, but you know, age and stuff. Still, such a great band to a kid just beginning to form his opinions about politics, art, life, etc. I'd say for a newbie, maybe the comp All Ages. It's a pretty decent distillation of their classic Epitaph period. Then…

Way to bring it out of the gutter, Jake.

He's one shirt away from Carlton, motherfucker. Does poor rendition of Carlton's dance.

It's all connected, maaannnn.

Yes.

Ugg. As a huge fan of both El-P and Kanye, may I say you are the worst and have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

False Priest is really scatter shot, but it has some jams. Paralytic Stalks is more interesting in theory than practice (the last few songs are some sort of tribute/homage to avant-garde 20th century composers, and that's what they sound like) and I absolutely love lousy with sylvanbriar, its a kind of throwback to…

They are fantastic. I've seen them four times (once w/ Janelle Monae opening!) and they never let me down.

I always get them mixed up, which is why I've never checked out Swervedriver to some degree I think.

"Wolves" just seems like a typical first song on an album, I want to see where it goes. Also, co-signed that "All Day" bangs hard.

No, that's Tracy Morgan.

Yeah, you're probably right. I think I just find the level of hate (which I do think at this point is somewhat race-related, but I digress) to be disproportionate to the guy's actions. You're right though, to each his own. At the end of the day, I'll still enjoy Ye, and those who don't, will not. Teardrops in the rain.

What gets me is you think that is why his fans defend him. I like his music. Period. The other stuff honestly makes me mad. Not mad at him because like you said, snore city, but mad that I can't just be excited for an artist I enjoy's new album without having to defend him to dipshits and assholes who actually do give…

It's almost as if he might be completely full of shit?

You're going to miss everything cool and die angry.

Sort of. If what he says (that he misspoke and meant the Grammys, not Beck) is true, and I see no reason why not, than he's just voicing his opinion that he thought Bey should have won Album of the Year and not Beck. He voiced it as himself, which comes with an extra oomph of dickhead, but he was straight up asked…

I really like this. It's funny and dark and romantic. It reminds me of Zevon a bit, not so much in its sound, but in how it makes me feel.

Sounds like you need to watch The Postman. From what I vaguely recall, he was like King Mayor of the Letter Carriers in some village or something.That movie's weird.

Bright Eyes

He primarily is known for his stand-up, which is funny. Occam's Razor.
