I haven’t liked their last few albums at all (loved most of All That You Can’t Leave Behind though), but I’m still very interested in hearing about their new singles whenever they arrive. I’m not particularly interested in their other news or song debuts unless it’s a single, part of the Spider-Man musical, or particularly good…

Also agreed, The Monitor was my favorite album of the year so far and certainly at least top-10 material!

I absolutely love a decent chunk of Avi Buffalo’s album (Summer Cum, Jessica, What’s In It For), but as a whole, it’s not even close in quality to High Violet by The National or Beach Fossils’ album in my opinion

I love this band, but I really wish everything I love wasn’t covered in meat today (ie this video, the KFC Double Down ads on here).. it’s really grossing me out..

pretty easily the best song they’ve (well ,Billy Corgan has) made since the singles from Melon Collie…
I surprisingly actually like this!

I have a feeling he’d love it.. Ever hear The Replacements’ cover of I Got You Babe? It’s sloppily fantastic (just like all their covers of songs)
(Obviously, Unsatisfied has a lot more emotion behind it, but I think Courtney does an interesting take on it)

you would think that with all the stealing this guy does, he could turn it into something decent.. you know, like Girl Talk does.

Dude.. Lou Reed not naming his app “Lou Read” or “The Lou Reader” was such a missed opportunity

Television might have a new album coming out! I’m asking around online right now for updates about it, no responses yet though…

I agree w/ all of those, but I’m really really surprised Sufjan isn’t on here.. it certainly fits the requirements…

short answer: they were both dissed and my comment probably didn’t make a lot of sense

longer answer: Radiohead were the ones he attempted to diss at first, but at the end of the statement he included “Matt would have much preferred to insult Beck but he is too afraid of Scientologists”, so then Beck fired back with this song.. but, yeah, I did sort of misphrase that, I meant, have Arcade Fire at the end of the “would have much preferred to insult” end of the diss..

I hate spreading negativity, but your last two sentences in your previous post on here made me throw up in my mouth a bit. “It’s not the musical main course. It’s the dessert.”? Really? I hope you’re joking… I was going to ignore it, but yeah… His music is neither “winsome” nor “whimsical”, I mean, I’m glad for the people who do enjoy his music as it does seem to be, if nothing else, harmless, although entirely unlistenable, but there is a major difference between whimsy and artificial happiness made to impress Radio Disney’s primary listening demographic.
also, “so many genres?” I only hear electronica

calling this dude a Postal Service rip-off is giving him WAY WAY WAY more credit than he deserves… sure, he IS ripping them off, but rip-offs of something good are often listenable and Postal Service actually make music I love, but this doesn’t even deserve to be described as a rip-off. This song is the aural equivalent of the Octomom, Balloon Boy, or Jon and Kate Plus 8, I really genuinely don’t care and just want it to go away
