On Stereogum

I'm British and by god I understand Modest Mouse and AC... Also, I don't know if any of you have actually read an NME issue but I can assure you all, it barely passes as music journalism. It is essentially a "this is what you should/shouldn't like" magazine.

I must confess that I only discovered Built To Spill this year, but they are now already one of my favorite bands. 'Keep It Like A Secret' and 'There's Nothing Wrong With Love' have to be two of the best albums of the 90's.

i'm pretty sure the sound snoop makes at 06:19 is the same sound yoshi makes when he gets hit by a red shell in mario kart.

Whilst on the subject of vampires (again), I just saw Thirst yesterday by Park "Oldboy" Chan-Wook and it was brilliant. Its a very refreshing spin on a ridiculously overpopulated subgenre. Go see it now before it gets remade by Hollywood...

It's so true and that's this movie's biggest problem is that it's not reaching the people it's supposed to. But then you could argue the whole thing would just go straight over it's target audience's collective head...

In hindsight I guess I was a little over-zealous, Bizarro fits better.
