Making hipsters look foolish is like shooting fish in a barrel.
I have an extensive collection of nametags and hairnets.
Neither do I – my “Piece Of Mind” Vans are all I need.

this great.
this great.
To my non-rookie ears, the new Darkthrone is a blast – not that it’s anything groundbreaking (quite the opposite, it’s a definite throwback to Mercyful Fate, Priest, Frost, even some Motorhead), but the songs are great and played with a ton of energy. I’m thinking it’ll end up on a lot of metal writers’ best-of-2013 lists.
Also out this week: the new Darkthrone, which is better than any of the albums listed above.
Well, if we’re talking about their most recent work, I have to say I enjoyed watching Side Effects a lot more than listening to this album.
I have to say, I kind of agree with P-fork on this one – not that this is a bad album by any means (3.6 is ridiculous), but the California X album is a LOT better.
Speaking of Pitchfork Selector videos – no mention of Chief Keef going to jail (at least for a few days) over his episode?

“I’m fully expecting this Album Of The Week pick to be as well-received as the time I gave it to Miranda Lambert.” Yup – I liked that album, and I like this one too.
I actually like the last Dawnbringer album (Nucleus) a lot more than the new one. I mean, a LOT more. I seem to be the only person in the world who does, though.
If you’re going to post this, you also have to post their appearance on the new 90210 from earlier this week. (Um, not that I watch that show. My wife watches it. Honest.)
Converge – All We Love We Leave Behind
I still consider Cube my favourite rapper of all time based on those first four solo albums (yes, four – if you think Lethal Injection sucked, you really need to go listen to “Ghetto Bird” right now). I know the general consensus is that AMW and Death Certificate are better, but this is my personal favourite of the four.
1. OK Computer
2. The Bends
…and I’ll stop there because those are the only two Radiohead albums I like. And no, I’m not trolling, just being honest.
Also, not sure what’s “shocking” about MWTIF being great. It’s a rap album put together by the RZA featuring Kanye, M.O.P., Kool G Rap, Freddie Gibbs, Flatbush Zombies, Pusha T, and the entire Wu-Tang Clan; you were expecting it NOT to be great?
I completely understand why critics are going apeshit over this record, but the “lazy guitar-plucks and woodblock-thunks and hazy beds of synth” production does nothing for me, a lot of these beats are just too bland. He’s an incredible rapper, no doubt about it, but honestly, I’m sure I’ll listen to the Man With The Iron Fists soundtrack a lot more often than this album.
Pretty sure that’s Masta Killa, although his voice sounds higher-pitched than usual for some reason.
Also: the “Deck Umenyiora” line killed me.
One of the most important albums from my personal musical formative years – I was 12 when it came out and it blew my mind, still love it today. Favourite song: too close to call between “Mr. Brownstone” and “Rocket Queen”.
I can understand why it’s not, but I was kind of hoping/expecting to see the new Playboy Tre tape in this spot. Maybe next week!
I cuurently own CDs from eight artists specifically included on this list (i.e. not including generalizations like “most 90s bands”). Fortunately for me, I’m not planning on selling them any time soon.
“nobody knows what the fuck else to call them” – including the (national chain) record store near my work, which for some reason decided to file this record in the Punk section.
Can’t believe this – Jeff Hanneman is not EVER supposed to die, let alone at age 49. Incredibly sad news.
