This week we talked about how much we love Girls, “Holocene,” and The Weeknd. You guys weren’t as thrilled with Feist’s comeback single, but she did receive a marriage proposal from one of you so not a total bust. After the jump, this week’s highest and lowest comments as chosen by YOU, plus editors’ picks from me and Amrit. (PS Next week we welcome two new full-time ‘Gummers — Tom Breihan and Corban Goble — to the team. Feel free to share in the comments what things you would like to see them cover (aside from Shabazz Palaces, which, YES OK WE WILL!).

what? a new generation of listeners find out about him from two of the biggest public figures right now? and the fact that they named the song in his honor and gave him a ft. credit just to make it easier for people to look him up? |

say what you will about excess in hip-hop, but if I was as rich as these dudes I’d be ripping up expensive cars and drive around like an idiot with models in the back for fun too. |

I’m so pleased with myself.
boy am I great!
I know, people can be skeptical of this idea (the whole best/worst comments), but when you get posted, it is actually surprisingly satisfying.
Your mother was surprisingly satisfying.

soooo close to total domination…or are the grammar biffs intentional, maybe i’m not in on the joke. and yes i said biff, i can use that.

Looks like this comment
should’ve been flushed
YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH
God I hate him and his witty remarks lol
Hey, you guys should cover Shabazz Palaces. Totes awesome.
seriously though when not one Shabazz Palaces comment has been thumbs’d down that should be a sign
As an avid fan of Pitchfork’s news feed, I couldn’t be more excited for Tom Breihan’s addition to Team Gum Shoe.
I want the new team to talk about The Field’s new album that leaked 2 months early, because OMG HAVE YOU HEARD THAT YET?!?!
“You guys weren’t as thrilled with Feist’s comeback single, but she did receive a marriage proposal from one of you so not a total bust”
All thanks to this guy… (said with thumbs pointed to self in contentment)
Seeing this, I had to go back and retroactively +1 that Shabazz Palaces comment. You done good.
You know what I heard? If your into discovering new awesome music check out Alex Hartley’s music blog….
Checking it out. Now.
This is, this is just adorable you guys!
Thanks Scott!
is THIS high school?
shabazz palaces suck
it’s funny that there are more thumbs up going on in this post than any others last week…we’re more excited by each other’s comment comments than we are the actual music comments
