I rarely end up listening to all of "The Overload," the other low-key pieces on side 2 are so much more enjoyable. "The Listening Wind" is up there with "Once in a Lifetime" and "The Great Curve" in the highlights of the album.

Anyone read any good NYRB Classics lately? Journey by Moonlight is probably the best book I read this year, and I'm gonna pick up Black Wings Has My Angel at the library real soon.

This sounds like a great companion to Sante's own Paris book published a few months ago.

This was great. Seriously, open-ended rambling from someone working out in real time why he hates a song so much is way better than a comedian delivering shitty laugh-lines about why people who like Dave Matthews are so awful.

from the headline this sounds real bad

I think it's a nice way to deflate the Grand Finale feel of The End. Just a band, guys!

One of the more annoying/hilarious ones: On the Mekons' poor-selling-even-by-their-standards Me, one of the standout tracks ("Gin and It") has a chorus (borrowed from "Zombie Jamboree"): "Belly to belly/back to back/dancing, dancing round the square." The last track on the album is just a minute of Lu Edmonds playing…

his hands are kind of freaking me out

The Waco Brothers are a good band and Jon Langford is an international treasure, I will listen to this album.

This is a good song! (Pablo and Andrea is the best song on the album though.)

"Through sheer repetition Lil B deepens the mystery that is Ellen DeGeneres."

Terrible writer. Most of it can be summed up as "hey guys I read the Gnostic Gospels, therefore I'm brilliant, here's 30 pages tangentially related to Dr Who"

From Here to Eternity is the jam, and has one of the most glorious album covers in existence. Plus, y'know, "I Feel Love."

It's not about who gets there first, it's about the journey.

Hum’s noise-pop masterpiece You’d Prefer An Astronaut, which flopped by Nirvana standards in spite of a minor hit single in the form of “Stars,” not to mention becoming vastly influential in the years that followed.

Beauregard Chaulmoogra Frontenac de Montmingle Bugleboy is a bit of a mouthful.

Watching this trailer made me wonder if this was another extension of this recent Clickventure: http://www.clickhole.com/cl…

Lots of good books out there.

that's some good content right there. yep.

I slightly prefer the Prince version, maybe just because of the line "I used to let you wear all my clothes." I just think, yes, actually, that would make perfect sense.
