It will be interesting to see how this album turns out since Liam might officially be out of Beatles choruses to knock-off

Love MMJ. Fine with the list. But this reminded me of how bad some of their album art is. Endearingly bad, but bad.

That Beach House video! It’s like a world where Chrimbus is something people actually celebrate every year in a very serious way.

Maybe it’s a little bit of a boring cover, but if the xx did it any other way they would just sound like everyone else these days who are playing with the same sound.

Don’t worry. I accidentally called him Jose in the comments for the article reporting the break-up.

This is my favorite Stereogum name ever. I bought a Smush Parker jersey as a joke when he was on the Pistons. Joke was ultimately on me because those things are expensive and everyone forgot who he was the day he was traded. Or released. Both are likely.

Anyway, I laugh every time I see your name and picture so thank you.

Thank you, Claire. That helps. I didn’t realize she dealt with such heavy subjects. This makes her music sound less superficial, for sure.

It still doesn’t sound good to me, but I think I understand it better. I’m also, relative to the readers of this site, old. So, that probably has a lot to do with it.

By “cheered,” of course, I meant jeered. Freudian slip, I suppose.

I’m going to get cheered for this (probably) but I feel like this transition in his songwriting has quite a bit to do with his relationship with Bethany. The verses of this song are just like those all over both Best Coast albums. If this is the case, it was a good influencing force because this is a very good song. Excited for this album.

Says the guy who will surely place in the top 5

Cedric just doesn’t get along with anyone, I guess. Or it’s Jose who doesn’t. I don’t know. Wish I could say I’m shocked by this but I’m not.

Maybe Claire Lobenfeld can write us a Deconstructing Kitty Pryde because I don’t get this at all. If her recent output “harnesses (the energy) in her live show” then said live show must be the least charismatic rap show ever.

Tony Visconti just clarified that Bowie didn’t say he wouldn’t tour again. Your dream stays alive, RJC

Glad “Louisiana” made it. That song actually introduced me to the band and it’s been intense periods of hugging and flirting ever since.

It’s literally the opposite of catchy. I don’t think it even has parts.

 0Posted on Jan 7th | re: Kitty Pryde - "Dead Island" (18 comments)

I think I just don’t get this. Everyone has glowing things to say about her and I’m sure they have good reason for doing that, so I’ll just take their word for it. And just leave it at that.

“Queen: Greatest Hits” is my favorite Queen album

So far, all I’ve really taken away from Song Reader is just how much music theory I’ve forgotten over the years. Anyone know of anyone/anything compiling those who have tried their hand at playing the songs and putting said on the internet? Or did I just give away a great idea for tumblr?

So I guess The Money Store never happened? At least that’s what all these lists appear to be saying.
