I love Illadelph Halflife, but for me Things Fall Apart is still their best. Rising Down is right up there too.

Strange Mercy is easily my favourite album of the year. On the strength of that, I also went out and bought Actor and Marry Me, and those are both fantastic too.

Anyone else read Diane Hoh's Nightmare Hall series? I owned all 29 of those motherfuckers.

Argh, all I want to do right now is go back and read all my old Discworld books. Instead, I have real work to do. Shit.

Wow, it's surprising to see anyone defend X&Y - and kind of nice. Martin's lyrics are indeed pretty poor for most of the album, but there's some nice production and hooks in there as well.

The whole album is surprisingly decent, honest. 'Lost' and 'Strawberry Swing' are near-perfect pop songs.

Fuck you for even mentioning Chumbawamba in reference to D'Angelo. What the hell is wrong with you?

Who let this guy in?

YOU suck in real life.

Damn man, you managed to be wrong on so many counts. I guess it's just not your day.

God, the Wikipedia page for Inside Schwartz is just depressing.

Yeah, the one thing that irks me about the album is that too many of the songs go for the ol' 'extended outro' trick. It's nice for a few tracks, but when it's half the album it's a bit much. I say this as a huge Stevie fan and a huge fan of this album: it just bothers me because it's so close to perfection.

Agreed, those scenes really were heartbreaking.

He's quoting from an album that came out 17 years ago, smart guy.

Yeah, that episode was TERRIBLE.

Hey, fuck you man!

Oh shit, my name has been shortened as well. This kind of sucks. (You can still see your full name on your profile page, which sort of makes it better, I guess.)

You've got dead ears, mate.

"Joanna Newsom's a good pick. I can tell she's a very good songwriter and I love her aesthetic…

It was already a brilliant comment, but "if I may be so bald" pushed it into hall of fame territory. Amazing.
