I found it hard to believe that these guys can make a bad album, besides of course Yo La Tengo is Murdering the Classics, which was a nice idea, shitty execution.

Except there's no ripping solo on Cornelia & Jane, but yes, two of my favorites as well.

I'm too oblique for my own good. I just find McCarthy to be our greatest living writer.

Between this collection, Karen Russell's Vampires in the Lemon Grove and Pynchon's new novel it's looking like 2013 is shaping up to be a great year for surrealist, absurd short story collections and/or novels. I'm a big fan of the aforementioned authors, along with Haruki Murakami, and I was wondering if anyone knew

Counterpoint: Cormac McCarthy. Although Pynchon or Saunders is probably next in line, (at least in my mind).

I feel the same way about another surrealist writer, Haruki Murakami. Although Murakami has essentially been exploring the same theme in nearly every single one of his novels. I don't think less of Murakami or Saunders for mining the same territory, it's just too much of their stories in near-rapid succession is a

CivilWarLand in Bad Decline or Pastoralia. Both are phenomenal and will give you a good sense of how his stories work, if you find you want to delve further.

You were talking about the Hobbit, right?

I miss you already Fringe. I'm going to be a mess next week.

"Okay, so if you substitute “lumber” for “steel,” it actually sounds exactly like Twin Peaks." Except for the fact that the Packards had a lumber mill.

Babysit me!

Subsequently, the Sovereign just released a surreptitious single today. Coincidence? I say not!

The DGA felt emasculated by the troll boner. That's the only reason I can see him being left off.

You rang?

SPOILER ALERT: It's pretty bad. There are a few well-earned guffaws, but a general dearth of laughs.

But will Warwick find true love?!

I know every reviewer likes to focus (no pun intended) on the Broadcast/Focus Group collaborative album as a precursor to Berberian Sound Studio, but I found it to be much more of an obvious continuation of the Mother is the Milky Way EP. Especially since both were released at nearly the same time.

It was, wasn't it? Sort of impenetrable in the third act, but great nonetheless. Toby Jones was fantastic, and I loved the idea of a "horror" film that was mostly only interested in the aural side of things. Great sound design can make or break a film, especially in the horror genre, and I loved the idea of flipping

I liked MEC quite a bit, but it mostly felt like a Tame Impala instrumental album that somebody sang over. I think I miss Trish too much to have the Broadcast sized void filled.
