Manborg is a gem, and contains the single best piece of dialogue I have ever witnessed:
“I am… Man… Borg. My name is Manborg.”
"Manborg? More like asshole!"

Let's get Laura Marling on this shit as well
Can't believe I had to go this far to find the National because "Exile Vilify" is my piece of art that stopped me cold. When I first heard it, I remember playing it literally for an hour straight.
SYYYLLLLLVVVIIIIIIAAAAA!!!!!!!! GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE OOVVEEENNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!
Whiplash I actually see being featured on Greatest Of All Time lists ten years from now.
Birdman might get an honorable mention if anything at all.
This Was Actually Kinda Cute, Internet
edit: Saw the last forty seconds. nevermind.
I've got to take my family-y-y-y-y-y
Frank is the best example possible for this. It's so close to being a great movie, but the last half hour or so just doesn't work and I left the theater feeling somewhat empty. And I want to like the ending too but it just feels so abrupt.
Agreed. You Were A Kindness and Sin-Eaters are some of their best.
Terrible Love vs. Terrible Love (Alternate Version), if we're counting deluxe editions.
Laura Marling's was great too.
As was the Staves' album, but they don't seem to be popping up anywhere but Stereogum.
Everything Everything's bonus tracks are basically lavishly produced demos, but they're otherwise excellent.
"Whaaaaat does a yelllooowwww liiiggghttt meeeeaaannn?"
Jose Gonzalez's cover was gorgeous too (though he's always good at covers in general)
Can Keane please get a re-evaluation? "Stop For A Minute", "Sunshine", and "Is It Any Wonder" come to mind as songs that are worth a listen.
edit: OneWeekOneBand did a great feature on them too

Or the one where a person didn't interview but wrote this beautiful essay on how much they hated the song (I don't remember what it was)
"With this latest salvo, Banks now seems intent on escalating things into a total scorched-earth campaign against Australia, finally explaining what happened prior to the events of Mad Max"
— the line that launched this into the pantheon of great O'Neal articles.
The Fall is also definitely a Tarsem Singh film with a creepy-ass poster.
