It's like he's trying to figure out as many ways to sustain output without making an actual new LP. Christmas songs (mostly all preexisting), Illinoise b-sides, and now a remix album? I hope the next thing is Seven Swans overdubbed in an amalgamation of Esperanto and Hopelandic. Probably!

You watch your mouth about Fiona Apple.

"Overjoyed" accurately describes how I feel about this news! CS's first album is pretty immaculate in my opinion, even now when I listen to it it still sounds fresh. And no, I don't expect it to be a carbon copy of OTC, as another commenter pointed out they are two different bands. Perfect start to my day, thanks Amrit!

It will be interesting to see how Wavves are received at P4k this year....

AGREED. (Not sarcastic.)

What about HAVING IDEAS ABOUT THE WORLD? What about that?

Okay, not to be the Pitchfork apologist, but I think P4k is really not that megalomaniacal. That's really silly. Sure they kind of broke down Black Kids, but I think they were just being honest about their lapse in taste then rather than "testing their powers of destruction." Plus, if they didn't report the Wavves meltdown, don't you think it would be even more conspicuous? If the article carried a noticeable tone of disappointment (I think the word "tragically" was used), it was probably because they were understandably disappointed, like many people were.

Good comment. Very critical.

No. I've been a violinist for over a decade and Boyd is one of the best rock violinist I've ever heard. Playing violin and not making it sound folksy or overly classical is not only difficult, but rarely done. Artists like Andrew Bird, Owen Pallett, Petra Haden, Sarah Neufeld, etc. are decidedly excellent but all obviously classically trained and not that great at extemp or improvisational playing, which is where true genius shows itself. Rarely do you have a violinist in such an incredibly mainstream band who is often featured so prominently and ALWAYS tears it up. His energy and enthusiasm is ridiculous. I think a lot of what I said can be applied to other DMB members (especially Carter and the late LeRoi).

Oops, might wanna work on your relationship to the correct usage of "is" and "are" though. Didn't see that. Okay, I am a bitch.

Your relationship to the correct usage of "I" and "me" is perfectly healthy, though! Grammar-kahdooz!

DS3M, this is a really gross gif, and totally inappropriate. Maybe you should try a gif of something that everybody will love, without question. For example, delicious fruity SNAPPLE.

I am 1000% sure that if they simply reran episodes until the end of time (AKA for a year after the show ends) and didn't tell anyone they had stopped filming new ones, absolutely no one would notice. And by that I mean that I would not notice.

I'm with you. I thought it was hilarious if a bit too long. "So, in your head, the letter B is the opposite of the letter G?" "Yeah, Booble it!"

Relax with the JJ-defensiveness over here. This post was not about Jimmy Fallon, it was about January Jones. And just because you mentioned him, I will say that I think Jimmy really is naturally funny and charismatic even though he's a bit mumbly and giggly. I actually really love his talk show. Besides, January Jones is not offended by any of these comments because she cannot read.

I have an mp3 of it, if you'd like me to send it your way.
