McSweeney's Mix: May Cause Drowsiness

Wow. Bands I don't like covering other bands I don't like.

Well, at least the new Quasimoto disc is finally out!

Your content oddly resembles Pitchfork's some days . . .

You know... there's bands I like in here... but listed up there like that, they all look fairly dreadful. Like they're sapping eachother's will to live.

The aural equivalent of a lethal injection.

The horror...

When the 7.8 or above comes from Pitchfork, you'll all be lapping it up. Don't kid yourselves.

Yeesh! Talk about a hipsterincestfest. However, sad to say, I think Pwarf is right on the money . . .

7.8?? Yeah right. This has 10 written all over it. In fact, I predict once Pitchfork gets their hands on this, they will shut down their website and proclaim, "This is the greatest album of all time. All that is possible in music has been done. Goodbye."

It'll be like the Rapture, but for Indie Yuppies. They'll all diappear and start working clay or making macaroni sculpture.

you're all hypocrites. these are the exact same bands you read these blogs for. you wouldn't know about half of them if it wasn't for blogs and the OC. so shut yer trap and stop the self-loathing. you got nothing to prove to no one and what's on your ipod (cause yes, you all do have one) is no one's business but yer own.

and "indie-yuppie"? yeah, you're currently reading the web page that personifies that. who do you think you're foolin'?

We do know about them without The OC, because none of us watch it.

At least I hope we don't.

I haven't heard (though I've heard of) 2/3rds of these bands, nor am I an indie-yuppie, but I AM filled with rancor. So am I still a hypocrite?

I read stereogum because Scott runs it. And I like Scott. He's a nice person.

I listen to the POCKET Joanna remix all the time. It's gonna be part of the Stereogum May Mix when I get to posting it!

1) I read Stereogum for the Lohan updates. Am I a hypocrite?

2) I can (and will) self-loathe all I want. Nothing hypocritical about that.

3) I know most of these bands, have heard them, and hate them.

4) I also read Blues & Soul blogs, and I play in a country band. So I'm either a hypocrite x8 or I just like music and I'm not a hypocrite.

I'm corn-fused. Stop yelling at me.

"Sounds like an indie-yuppie's wet dream."

oh jesus. My first thought was how quickly I could get to a Believer-carrying newsstand. I guess I might be an indie-yuppie? is there a cure? or is the cure worse than the disease?
