    May he continue sucking his own c*ck and go on to rot in hell. Hey Mooch, you want a piece of him?

    True, and it once again reminds us of the original's magnificence. Only rarely is an album so worthy of being covered start-to-finish like Bandwagonesque.

    Exactly, which is why educated folks need to continue to RESIST!

    Please tell me you didn't just compare this piece of milque-toast rock to 70s Bowie.

    I wonder what that new "Roots of Big Star" release focusing on Chris Bell sounds like.

    Additions: Kevin Morby's City Music, The Sadies' Northern Passages, and The Bats' The Deep Set (which came out very late in 2016 but wasn't available in the U.S. until Feb. 2017).
    It's a pleasant surprise to see Laura Marling and Sampha on the list.

    Actually, no I didn't, and I shall not engage you in whatever ongoing pissing contest it is that you're going to want to engage in. By the way, when did I ever suggest Lorde did anything to me or that this isn't indeed a good album? I clearly didn't. Those who catch my point get it. You can go on arguing with

    Meagan, you just relieved a whole bunch of highly constipated AV readers who weren't happy enough to see all the glorious reviews everywhere else and wouldn't believe their own damned "ears" until someone there told them it was OK to like this. Yet so many other highly-deserving releases remain criminally ignored?
    Go

    The Knack and Golden Earring were NOT one-hit wonders. The Knack had two other Top 40 hits ("Good Girls Don't" and "Baby Talks Dirty") and Golden Earring's "Twilight Zone" was an even bigger hit than "Radar Love." But OK, I get it.
    … and here are two "new wave" nuggets from 1979 that fit the bill; M's "Pop Muzik" and

    For what it's worth, his life is totally fucked from here on out whether he spends a minute in jail or not. Ya get back what you give … one way or another.

    Who'd refer to these imbeciles as the 1st family and royalty? That's right, Newswire would.

    Glad there's at least one other soul out there besides Ryan Bray who acknowledges Kevin Morby. Four albums in just five years into a solo career, particularly when relentlessly compared to a wannabe Dylan or Lou Reed by lazy critics, would sink most young folk/rock artists, but Morby's multifaceted talent raises him

    Ugh! It burns me to be reminded that I actually had tickets to both Led Zeppelin and Prince and missed out on both. Bonham died and the Zep show was cancelled. As for Prince, I had a do-or-die final exam in college the morning after a 3-hour Purple Rain concert and (being an idiot) passed along my ticket to a

    Then let's talk about that angelic glow eminating from his head in the photo above.

    Carnegie Hall in NYC? Hey, if Florence Foster Jenkins did it, why the heck not Bill?

    Perhaps that's because most releases exceeding 45-50 minutes repeatedly prove how overblown and needless they are. I admire artists who can say what they have to say in 35-40 minutes and then move on to the next project and don't make you wait years and years for their next release.

    By your very own account, then, all suicide attempts can and should be chalked up to having some sort of an exterior influence, RX related or not. No one in a clear state of mind would take his/her own life. There are always extraneous circumstances involved. I speak from experience and with an extensive history of

    No disrespect to Cornell or his family, but they are alleging this to be able to collect insurance money. I am not saying they're not justified (and I very much agree with Albert's astute analysis), but the fact remains that this was a suicide either way.

    Funny alright, but a correction: I don't think there are any angels in hell!

    Great; two more shitty TV shows to avoid!
