This week we anointed Godspeed You! Black Emperor, heard the great new Local Natives, read an insightful Turntable Interview with Grass Widow’s Hannah Lew, and remembered why we don’t care for the Vines. We gave your 7th Grade nephew a great starter kid to get into DC hardcore, and as for the news that matters, two more words that have no link tied to them yet: Kendrick Lamar. Oh and also, it’s been CMJ and we’ve seen a ton of stuff, which we’ll tell you about on Monday. Until then, think back on the week that was in your most gorgeous and deplorable commentary:

I’m going to go ahead and not listen to this and just assume based on the title that this is penis-themed. Hearing the actual song would ruin the hilarious song about penises I fancifully imagine this to be. |

He was obviously trying to get free and ride into the sun when his mom got in the way. |

Tom, two months ago in this column, you started off with a seemingly irrelevant paragraph comparing Godspeed and Neurosis live, and now here we are, and they’ve each dropped an amazing and unexpected album on our ears. Maybe this is some new power you have? Want to try starting off next week’s album of the week with a paragraph on My Bloody Valentine and OutKast? |

If this article were titled “Ben Gibbard and Why We Want Him to be Making Another Postal Service Album” I would agree with it more. |

Pfff. He’ll play the autism card to Get Free. Everyone these days uses that excuse to justify their erratic behavior. |

What a terrible bloody song. If this song didn’t have the name Sufjan Stevens attached you never would have written about it. Dude’s starting to jump the shark. |

next week: dual #1′s, this is gonna be tricky…
Everybody should just downvote your first comment here, then upvote the second one. Then you’ve got both Highest and Lowest Rated in the same thread, back-to-back! On second thought, nah, that would almost be like charity, and you don’t need that. I trust you to be able to get it done through the honest toil of posting hit-or-miss gifs.
i’d rather be one dimensional than zero dimensional…
i love when someone is in the lowest and highest in the same week. both for gifs.
lesson learned: Prince beats outdated/overused troll guy by 41 points
and the star himself beat me to it
it’s pretty quiet at work…
Mr. Broydrick…almost topping both lists. Nice work!
So what is everybody dressing up as for Halloween?
I’m going to be out of town for Halloween but The Flaming Lips costume concert is next week. I just pulled my Ironman costume I keep in the trunk of my car and haven’t shaved in awhile so I can go helmet-less but still pull off Tony Stark.
Lazy, sure, but superheroes at a Lips show makes sense.
So what are YOU guys/gals dressing up as?
Well I bought a raincoat because, you know, I needed a raincoat. So I’m gonna go as Black Inspector Gadget. Or maybe Jef Costello.
I’m going to hang a bunch of those pumpkin lantern neon glo-sticks around the house, rent a fog machine, strobe lights and blare SALEM out from the shrubs while handing out candy dressed as Skrillex and Grimes.
“Skrillex AND Grimes” — Hilarious!
And OMG I’m totally blaring SALEM whenever I buy a house and use it to distribute candy on Halloween. Genius idea Michael_!
Now I’m picturing a raptor-Jesus dressed as Ironman. That would have to be one of the most confusing/terrifying/sacred costumes imaginable.
I can hear Captain America now…
“Take away the suit and what are you!”
“Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist and raptor jesus.”
I’ve been thinking of going as Sinéad O’Connor.
i was going to, but there were like six sinead o’connors at the bar last year. talk about egg on your face…
for real though? out-of-work count from sesame street.
“I’VE BEEN ON UNEMPLOYMENT FOR ONE…. TWO….. THREEEEE MONTHS…. AHHH AHHH AHHH”
I’m dressing up as Honey Boo Boo
This must be the first time in the history of “Shut Up, Dude!” that half of the top ten comments weren’t from last week’s “Shut Up, Dude!”.

hmmmm, every comment i have on this thread was just mysteriously downvoted simultaneously.
HERPDERP STRIKES AGAIN!!!
Stop promoting your blog here, silly
;)
there’s a difference between promoting my blog and trying to share new music with people. it’s the reason i was so apologetic when i first began posting links to the blog and am now less apologetic. i don’t make money from my blog, there’s no incentive for me to have people visit it other than to hear the new music i like.
so check out the lord huron record max! i can post a link directly to the grooveshark stream next time i suppose…
;D
