gimmicks are great and all, but its all useless without solid tunes. their last album really hasn't aged well, but i hope this one has a bit more life in it.

wow,a nice departure for sure. wasn't so sure about it at first, but it definitely grew on me with repeated listenings.hope the rest of the album is full of jammy indulgence, i always thought that Walla's production was their biggest asset.

does that mean the people that have the new mmj don't like it? Have you heard mainly good things or bad things?

river, do you have a link for evil urges? Its my most anticipated release this year, but I'm relatively positive it hasn't leaked yet. Please prove me wrong, the live boot from SXSW sounds absolutely fucking incredible

seriously this is the best summer festival lineup so far. sigur ros? broken social scene? mastodon? zach galafinakis? quit being to hip to recognize that in the overcrowded festival season bonnaroo still reigns supreme

love the song, but did I just see a Sprint / Nextel commercial?

new album is great though, a tad overproduced but leagues better than her last one. sounds like she finally found her voice.

Kinda lackluster so far, but I'm sure the lineup will fill out nicely. El Guincho is quite a catch tho, I just don't think its enough to convince me to trek to Chicago yet

the new songs sound incredible, this has quickly risen to the top of my most anticipated albums of '08 list.

their late-night bonnaroo set is going to be intense as fuck

I mean, its ok and all, but this week was incredible for leaks and this one really didnt resonate with me. Tokyo Police Club and Jamie Lidell kill it, as far as I'm concerned.

ps- because of the onslaught of leaks recently, will premature evaluation no longer be a friday-only column?

Love the new layout, but can we get an iPhone/ iPod Touch icon to reflect the new layout? i made one with the headphones, but now that appears quite dated
