Wait for the Jellybean remix single featuring MC Skat Kat. That should help.

I have a weird mix tape rule that no artist can be repeated. So there's that arbitrary reason.

No complaints or disagreements at all, but "Merry Christmas—If That's OK" is the one that always makes my Christmas playlist.

I hope the Jay-Z documentary uses Mike O'Brien as Jay-Z for the re-enactments.

I want to upvote this multiple times.

This record is truly amazing. "Listen to Me" is so forceful that it almost seems like it should collapse on itself, but it never does. The fact that there's three riffs, each of which could have supported its own song makes it even more amazing. Few records truly earn the "undiscovered classic" like this one does.

My passions have always fallen just outside of the mainstream. I keep forgetting that not everybody listens to Bardo Pond, reads The Comics Curmudgeon, can name all the drummers of Genesis prior to Phil Collins, or works MST3K quotes into everyday conversations. But yes, A3G was still a thing, and it's slow…

Really? It's my daily source of joy. I even wear my few times as runner-up for Comment of the Week with a certain sense pride. Why do you hate joy?

I probably just need to spend more time getting used to it/customizing it. I'm incredibly lazy.

Stole my question, thank you. Really, thank you. And I'll second the comment below to bring back Loud. Music reviews are what initially brought me here, My ___ of Flops Inventory, Primer, Gateways to Geekery, and (what was then) Metal Box kept me around (among many other features). But mainly, I want more music…

Have you also noticed that if you rip a CD released after 2014, it WILL NOT download the album artwork (gives an error)? So you have to manually find the art, save it (copy and paste no longer works), then Add Artwork from whatever folder you've saved it from. At least, that's how it is on Windows. Hmmm…running iTunes…

I don't like the way Media Monkey does their playlists (I like to sort by year, especially, and my playlists are usually days long and frequently modified), and there's too many features I don't want coupled with some that are missing (I know there's lots of plug-ins and such, but I'm notoriously lazy). My collection…

Yes indeedy. More than once. The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys and Before the Dawn Heals Us were the two most recent occurrences (noticed them missing a week or so ago, after knowing they were there before—M83 especially gets the occasional play). The rest of Traffic & M83 was there, but not those particular albums…

Glad to know I'm not the only one who has experienced entire albums vanishing (from iTunes is one thing; having it also disappear from the hard drive is pure unmitigated evil). They also got rid of cover flow with 11, so my M.O. of using my desktop/laptop to put on a playlist, bringing up Cover Flow, and being able to…

The sandcrawler seems a bit top-heavy. One wrong wheel turn on a banked curve, and it's all over.

Hoojibs represent!

Will we get the results of these polls at the end of the week? Still wondering who won Best Family…

…and they were the only two records released today? Duh, indeed. My point is that I don't mind Bieber and One Direction reviews, but there used to be at least twice as many music reviews as we've been getting lately, across and fairly wide range of styles. It's a troubling trend, is all.

I mean, where the hell is Heller? Bring back Loud!

So we're down to about 2 music reviews per week, and today we got both Bieber and One Direction. I have a feeling the AV Club's year-end music list is going to be…interesting. Really. Trying to be nice here. But if this keeps up, my music nerd rage is going to just…Gah.
