Kind of curious as to what you guys think of "DOA." That might be the most interesting track to me, so far.
ah good lookin' out, fixed it! old thompson you're basically my valentine at this point if that's cool with you
THE BEACON IS LIT
No need to thank me. This is why I am here.
No, raptor jesus. We are safe. I'll light the Drake beacon so you'll know, just look toward the heavens.
A-Trak tweeting livetweeting Grammys for GQ:
ha! whoops. added now!
Wait, I love Flocka! No sarcasm intended. ASAP is a STAR.
I wonder if Gabe is going to be in any of those Rick Ross videos that are coming out next week.
I'm not usually a fan of stuff in First Aid Kit's lane, but for whatever reason, they do it for me. Thing is packed with cool harmonies and melodies. Glad to see you guys reppin' for it.
Oh, word, thanks for the tip! I changed it!

Twitter user @Leti_kru let me know that's NATHAN's twitter not Caleb's. Corrected, thanks @Leti_kru.
For some reason I don't see a reply button for your latest posts djfreshie, but I understand what you're saying, I think the most honest way of doing it, at least for me, was by just putting 10 songs I listened to A TON and songs that I think I'll turn the volume knob up on for the forseeable future. That's basically my rationale. I realize it's not as deliberate as it could/should be, but then again, it's a singles list. I didn't weigh on it as heavily as I did the albums.
I know it's annoying that it streams as one track, but "Frigid Spring," y'all. That's a big standout for me.
I like how they listed all the Jonas Brothers separately. Along with the Oprah bit mentioned below, this list is sort of a piece of art.
It wasn't necessarily a jab at them. It's just kind of a random sampling of each genre, was what I was getting at.
"Gucci Gucci" is a great song -- I'm not using this to justify my including it, but it was in the 20s on the single rankings. It's funny, memorable, the chorus is great and sure, it's a novelty, but don't some of the best songs have that ingrained in their appeal? (Also this is not an endorsement of Kreayshawn in general, cuz "Gucci Gucci" is the only listenable thing she's made so far)
"Fallow Holiday" or "Fallow Holiday Period" is a good name for something, but I do not know what.
I hear you. I really like "Video Games," "Blue Jeans" and "Born To Die." I think they have some cool hooks and I like the lyrics a lot, they're odd and jarring and I think that makes them memorable. It's nowhere close to all the way there (evidence: "Off To The Races," "National Anthem," etc). A lot of attacks on LDR have been unfair, but that's not to say some of them haven't been fair. IDK. There's something there that works for me, that's all.
An omission it broke my heart to make: Tom Breihan playing this role in his HS band American Substandard. http://cdn.stereogum.com/files/2012/01/breihanband.jpg
Ha, fair point. It's easier in my mind to phrase everything he does as a comeback. With a story like this, there's so little to make sense of that you have to give yourself some allowances.
I don't know what to think until Zach Braff tells me what to think.
Sometimes I lose faith in humanity, but then #RUH starts trending.
Yeah so this is outstanding.
While many of us have changed a lot -- and then some, some -- djfreshie remains a pillar of the Stereogum commentariat. I'll show myself out.
Wait, wait: How did I miss this? " ... a recent Rolling Stone on the coffee table and, oddly, two matching copies of 'The Hunger Games.'" I'm pretty into The Hunger Games right now. Addictive shit.
SNOOP HAS A BIOGRAPHY?! Whoa. http://www.amazon.com/Grace-After-Midnight-Felicia-Pearson/dp/0446195189 Yeah, definitely getting this. Thanks Marnie.
Also, no one gave a shit about that Whitman reference?! Oh well, I guess I’ll revert to your regularly scheduled programming. Drizzy Drake forever. ‘Under The Misteltoe’ in stores now.
Jenn Wasner from Wye Oak was #11, I mentioned her!
I feel like Gosling's inclusion is valid since Austin freaked out so hard over his presence at Fun Fun Fun Fest.
I was pretty surprised Youth Lagoon got to 2. I mean, I love Youth Lagoon, I just didn't know he was a MOVEMENT.
Song is definitely "Stay Useless" but you're right, the quote in RS says "Stay Nothing." I put a sic in. Good catch.
