“In a perfect world, the hashtag in the title of Mariah Carey’s new single...”
– - Pitchfork on the new Mariah Carey song “#Beautiful”.
It seems that to explain themselves for liking a shitty pop song, Pitchfork have to find something ironic or different about it, but it’s always in their heads. That above paragraph is pure bullshit. The song is a shitty pop...

Wakin' On A Pretty Daze is pretty great.
It take my hat off to you, Mr Vile, good sir, as you’ve managed to keep my attention for 70 full straight minutes. That, my friend, is rare.
Brian DeGraw makes the only remixes worth...
Man, this Monkey Riches remix is so good. I need a new Gang Gang Dance album soooon.

So I didn't get the MGMT single.
I went to the record store (Piccadilly Records in this case) in the morning and the queue was ridiculous, It went around the whole building. I did queue for about 30 minutes, but I moved literally no further than ten feet forward so I didn’t bother. I walked past a couple of hours later and noticed that the people that were infront of me we still nowhere near the entrance. I estimate that it...

So it's record store day tomorrow
And the only thing I really want is the MGMT cassette. It seems like quite a lousy and disappointing year, at least based on my tastes anyway. Sure, there’s the Zaireeka boxset but that £70! Jesus Christ, I’m all about supporting independent record stores, but vinyl’s so fucking expensive. Even the cassette is £6! So yeah I’m not sure if there’s any point getting up...

Loooooong albums...
Has anybody else noticed that more and more albums seem to be going down the super duper long route. Over the past couple years there has been so many albums that are well over an hour, has anybody else noticed this? is this a new thing or am I just noticing it now? It seems like it’s becoming a lot more common. Very recent example of this is Kurt Vile’s new album that cam out just...

“The difficulty with giving a comment on Margaret Thatcher’s death to the...”
– Morrissey on Thatcher. I would never wish death or Alzheimer’s on anybody but Morrissey’s statements are always my thoughts exactly, and here it couldn’t be anymore true. What a terrible human being she was.

My thoughts on Shaking The Habitual
So I’m a massive fan of Silent Shout, like everyone, and yes, I was one of those people that really just wanted Silent Shout part II, but that isn’t the case. Though it also definitely isn’t Tomorrow In A Year part II, which is what a lot of people think. When I first downloaded the album i decided to listen to it late at night whilst doing absolutely nothing except laying down...
Shaking The Habitual has landed!
I’m excited to get acquainted with it tonight. From what I’ve read I have a few worries, but nevertheless this is the new fracking Knife album!
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon: Deerhunter:... →
Holy shit! Sign me up for their new album. I like the idea of this new alter ego Bradford Cox has concocted. Very cool performance. I’ve noticed on Fallon that they give their bands and artists that perform more freedom to do their stuff or similar to what they’d do at their live show than any other late night show. I think that’s great because TV performances are almost always...

Word is they’re next gonna do the Stone Roses album. As great as that album is, I don’t think it best fits the F’lips. My opinion, The Age Of Aquarius by The 5th Dimension I say!

First impressions of The Terror
Okay, so I have many incoherent thoughts running through my head. I’m going to try and be as unbiased as possible because I think the reason everybody was put on earth was to listen to The Flaming Lips.
At times it feels like it was created by extremely talented and wise musicians, but at other times it just seems quite amateurish. It sounds like they never had a single song in the works...

I have no idea what to think of it. I browse the internet to see what everyone’s saying about it, and it seems nobody knows what to say. The Flaming Lips has created a global stunned silence - I’m not to sure if this is a good a bad thing to be honest.

ALBUM "TRAILERS"
Okay, so Yeah Yeah Yeah’s have a new album out soon with artwork that will haunt your dreams, and we’re all incredibly excited. They have just released the second “trailer” (or “teaser”) for the album. I personally think it’s atrocious, but this doesn’t make me worried about the quality of the album. I have never once seen an album trailer do what a...

Retrograde is absolutely brilliant
I feared that I was going to fall back into the vortex of hype again. Or maybe the song is actually good. Better than the Wilhelm Scream? Fucking definitely. Rnb beats trumps stupid whiny voice anyday.

To everyone who is calling Kevin Shields a...
In 22 years Kevin Shields made a mediocre album that sounded the same as his last (imo)
In 21 years I have learned to walk, talk and read English and Spanish, have gone through two schools and college, travelled to and learnt about Egypt, Mexico, Spain, France and many other countries, learnt to be independent by getting numerous different jobs, moving out of my parents’ house, starting...

There's plenty of negativity going on at...
“This is either all the boring outtakes of “Loveless” put together to make a buck, or the anal retentive Kevin Shields spending 22 years editing an album intended for release in 1993. “MBV” would have made a very decent release back then, don´t get me wrong. But in 2013 it sounds as dated and out of place as The Smiths releasing the followup of Strangeways.”

But I will say this, the album took 22 years to perfect, REALLY?

New DJ/ Rupture album concept sounds so...
As much as I love the Rupture, reworking somebody else’s (Already released) music after their death seems extremely disrespectful and ignorant. He sounds like he’s trying to pay homage to one of his heroes, but making an album out of the same three songs of someone else’s is just wrong. I’ve never listened to Julius Eastman but Rupture’s got a good ear for the most...
