Illusions, AV Club.

Bachmann loves a bowling alley.

Don't let the avatar fool you - it's my favourite AoL record!

So glad we have DA flying the SDF flag over here. Superior is grrreat, especially Good Idea Machine - I love that it's a sequel to I've Got An Idea.

I'm so, so happy that Patrick Kindlon is getting a shot at writing for Marvel, MENU is fantastic and Self Defense Family are incredible.

Ahhh damnit.

THE WRONG KID DIED

Unrelated but fuck yeah D-Plan.

YEAH THIS IS WONDERFUL YEAAAAAAAHHH. I'm not sure if it quite matches the go-for-broke beautiful oddness of Get Disowned but it has a maturity and depth all of it's own. Straight into my top 5 of 2015 so far. Top 3 maybe.

David, you and I are sometimes the same.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS
Tibetan Pop Stars is my favourite song of the 2010's maaaaaaybe.

I totally disagree with your assessment of Tucker - he's really, really great. Unsubtle, maybe, but propulsive and powerful, and inventive too, especially in the latter days.

No doubt.

Some worries, man. Some worries.

YES! Seamonsters is the only record I've given real time to, but this has inspired me to dig in deep.

Hey! I was born and raised in West Philly, and I just spent most of my days on the playground, just hanging out and playing basketball adjacent to my place of education.

I had a VHS when I was young that had episodes of My Favourite Monster, Madballs and Trapdoor on it. It was called Spooks and Gooks.

I 100% agree with this. I think the "cultural appropriation" argument when it comes to music is ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT. Art does not belong to anyone, and to put limiters on it like this is resolutely anti-art. It takes 3 minutes of casual thought to know that.

BEANS?!
