On Stereogum

I don't know if the music was the problem i had with Our Love to Admire. Although it was a step backward. I was mostly disappointed with the lyrics. So so so disappointed.

If there is one thing we can take from all this, it's that Harry Patch was not and will never be considered cool.

Lesson learned.

Don't get me wrong. I like listening to Kanye. I'm just saying,

sampling music like whoa! and having witty (read: not poetic. just humorous.) lyrics only makes you a really good rapper with catchy hooks. it does not make you a genius. He is not exactly reinventing a genre.

(also error on my previous comment. i meant to clarify that arcade fire belongs on the list but i just wouldn't place them as high as pitchfork chose to. [not that i expected them to do otherwise of course given the perfect 10 it recieved])

Spoon, Sufjan Stevens, Kanye West, and Arcade Fire have no place on that list. But otherwise it's pretty good.

(I also strongly dislike LCD Soundsystem and "Sound of Silver" but i'm willing to concede that it's everyone's favorite album or something)

I have been pretty indifferent to the Vampire Weekend phenomenon (re: i don't like or dislike them).
But that viral marketing definitely nudged me a bit into the "dislike" camp.

This week's 30 Rock was the worst of its season. Although Kenneth's "WHO SAID I'VE BEEN ALIVE FOREVER?" was amazing. Also, the waffles.

I like Gabe's post, because after watching the video, it made me think that this crazy, old, senile, and dementia ridden man thought he was my father and that i at some point in my life liked Metallica. You're crazy Fake Dad! I don't know you!
