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.

As somebody who works at a wine store and has a somewhat intricate knowledge of wine and wine cultivation etc., i feel i can say with some authority, "what."

I'm probably going to keep watching it, because i didn't think it was horrible and i'm curious to see how it will progress but...
It just seemed like they could've like had an entire season of introducing the aliens and the reactions people had to them. I just felt they blew their load way too early.

You really don't want to tempt me to redub a movie trailer with new music, because i will pick Bruce Springsteen's "The Wrestler" every time. Every time.

they don't let us see that trailer in canada for whatever reason, so without me knowing they had automatically started playing the next trailer for The Green Zone.
