I am excited
as mentioned above, I like "Me & You…" Also, I am shamelessly thinking of this as date movie, with any luck I will appear to be at least 30% more sensitive than I actually am.

Wait
So you're all being pissy because a young guy who makes catchy, intelligent guitar music listens to lots of catchy, intelligent guitar music? God forbid he NOT appear to care about mainstream hip-hop/noise rock/stuff from "Our Band Could Be Your Life." The sheer audacity of his ostensibly ahistorical,…

Wait, is Idiot Pilot still around? I remember liking them for a few weeks in 05' or something and then totally losing interest.

"Audit In Progress" is easily one of the 5 or 10 best aggressive records of this decade. Definiteley a contender with At The Drive-In, Blood Brothers, and McLusky.

"Kicking and Screaming" is amazing. It always pisses me off that it shares a name with a fucking Will Ferrel movie.

She looks good, but my mind keeps wanting to superimpose Jerri Blank; which ruins the whole effect.

pumpitup!
The scene you mentioned from "Pump Up The Volume" sounds like the world I wish I lived in.

Aaron Burgess- D+
While Aaron Burgess is known for concise, but not necessarily witty, av club reviews that split the difference between Pitchfork on an eloquent day and Stylus (RIP) when no one has had their coffee yet; his review of "Nouns" leaves something to be desired. For one thing, he spends the first third of…

I liked Greenwald's book. He's not an intellectual heavyweight by any means, but his thesis for the book has definiteley proven itself out pretty well in the 4 or 5 years since it came out.

No Age
That record is great. They've got that same talent that Husker Du did for making two minutes feel fucking epic.

Exactly. However, I probably like GBV more than 90% of pop-leaning bands because I'm ragingly perverse. I really wanna see the "Funny Games" of pop albums.

Because it's punk rock, not modern indie. Bands had soul then instead of recording money/easy computer setups.

Thanks for this
Christie Front Drive is one of my favorites. I still think the LP is their best one. It's only like half an hour, but every song on there just gives me chills. I don't know, the thing I love about them is that they're at least 70% inexplicable tingles and tectonic motion. I can't break down a…

Maybe he just doesn't dig good writing. Also, I don't really care if a character annoys me. I don't think I'd necessarily be friends with any of Finn's characters, but I can totally be engrossed for 5-45 minutes at a time.

Damn
That was a pretty great film. I saw it last night. It rolls pretty brilliantly deep in dramatic irony, symbolism, etc. as well (probably deeper and more effectiveley than most Oscarbation that goes down near the end of the year).

Damn
Based on the songs I've heard live from this one, it's gonna rule. Craig's lyrics are getting dense again, which makes me excited. I love those fucking torrential lines he does. ("Secret Santa Cruz")

I still have s raptor shirt somewhere.

"Hey Jealousy" is pretty amazing. There's a layer of arena-ness on it, but there's also something about it that reminds me of Dinosaur Jr., maybe that guitar sound that feels epic and nostalgiac at the same time. They lyrics I kind of like because they're (While inept in someways) unpretentiously appropriate. …

P2P is usually a little more articulate and earnest than this. Plus, he would probably not spell it "bashton" like a ReRe. Plus, the person behind this is probably not as smart as P2P. So, to review; an inept parody of a parody of a person being inept.

"The Nightfly" was actually pretty fucking tits.
