I would start with Grapes, though I love both.

2000? Child's play.

I just finished Will Not Attend by Adam Resnick, a collection of bitterly funny essays. Related to them way too much.

The Hold Steady - Cattle & the Creeping Things
The National - The Geese of Beverly Road
FFS - Collaborations Don't Work
The Decemberists - The Bagman's Gambit
Arcade Fire - Get Right

I love content

He also restored the proper name of Denali. That's like my favorite thing.

"I'm Writing A Novel" is my favorite off that one I think. Not even fair that someone can be that good at music and also a fucking hilarious dude.

New Arcade Fire b-sides are pretty interesting if not actually super good. Half of them sound like rougher, weaker versions of songs that made it to Reflektor ("Apocrypha" -> "You Already Know," "Women of A Certain Age -> "Flashbulb Eyes," and "Soft Power -> "Awful Sound.") Then "Get Right" and "Crucified Again" are…

Yeah, I liked the show I saw but it was clear it was the exact same thing they had played the night before and would play the next night. Plus they only had like 13 songs so not too many surprises on the setlist. Not sure what other options there are when doing this type of music though.

Only listened to this once so far but I do like it a lot. Maybe nothing as good as "Tether" or "The Mother We Share," but probably more consistent overall. Really though I just wanted to share with you this amazing 0/10 user review I found on Metacritic.

Didn't you love the half-informed lazy snark of this one though?

No, it was a disgusting racial slur 3 years ago too, so a lot of people had a problem with it then too.

1. Reflektor / The Suburbs / Funeral (I know, I'm the worst)
4. Neon Bible

The man stayed steadfast in his sexual rejection, so I guess she did, even though a more age-appropriate character described her as having a "Fantastic body. 8+ tits." Presumably on a 1-10 scale.

The Shade? I like that song a lot. :/
