Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea is a magnificent album. White Chalk is another classic.
The Boy With the Arab Strap is my favorite Belle and Sebastian record. Nice to see people speaking up for quality work. I can guess Pitchfork record scores within .3 points by just knowing the artist, title, and label. I…

There will never be enough superlatives to sufficiently describe the enthralling mix of jouissance and horror "B.O.B." contains.

How can any person who supported the genocidal 2003 Iraq War still be published? It is a disgrace to the AV Club that you publish a monster like Dan Savage. He wrote this in 2002—-> http://www.thestranger.com/…

Courtney Love > Dave Grohl as a songwriter, musician, and person. I'd take Live Through This over anything Grohl was involved with after Nirvana. Rampant sexism won't allow women to be "characters" while assholes with alternative theories about HIV are called "nice guys". Yeah, move along, no misogyny here.

Granted, Memphis Stax/Volt deserves credit. The Boomer's self backslapping over the tepid, nonthreatening, and navel gazing Beatles as the best ever because everyone must affirm their tastes and the hypes they participated in is a terrible form of nostalgia. BTW If The Beatles did change the world, look at it now:…

Pet Sounds > Everything The Beatles ever did. In a just world Motown's Golden Age and The Beach Boys would be more heralded than The Beatles. But most white boomers, and their offspring, have no taste.

Everyone too cowed to admit Bowie's latest was an over hyped dud.

Haim is much much worse. But yeah, Fall Out Boy?

Sports teams and missiles are named after them—Bin Laden's code name—>"Geronimo". So lighten up Injuns. So what if we wiped you out. Genocide, big whoop. Now let's go do a stylish photo shoot appropriating our image of you <gulps energy="" drink,="" high="" fives="" brah,="" saunters="" off="">.

The Gold Experience is a great record. Some great songs on it: P Control, Endorphinmachine, The Most Beautiful Girl in the World, Dolphin, I Hate U, and Gold—-Outside of everything from the 80's, one of his best. Better than Musicology or anything else that came after and, yes, Emancipation was remarkably tepid.

The United States was built on piracy subsidized by authority("Yankees" was a Dutch term for pirates.Charles Dickens wrote a travelogue of the United States, "American Notes for General Circulation", that addressed widespread piracy of literary works). England thrived during a period when the crown(Elizabeth I)…

Hired assassins working under the US flag are not "heroes". They are terrorists you accept. Killing people in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Libya, and numerous other nations, if the US Gov't(which stated it had operations in over 70 nations) is to be trusted, does not protect any freedom, or provide more security for…

Heavy D's verse in "Self Destruction" obliterated everyone else's effort on that legend laden collab(PE, STET, Just Ice, Doug E, many others). Listen to it…Dude could spit.

If a Timberlake falls and no one hears does it make a FutureSex/LoveSound?

"Ten Storey Love Song" is a gorgeous pop song. Better than anything on their first record.
