Well presumably he did it because the sound was garbage, which is an understandable frustration, but a common one that obviously doesn't deserve that sort of reaction. But yes, it would be nice to get some sort of context behind this. Just making the assumption.
Guess nobody's going to read this now, but...
Payback by Danny! just got a release date set for January 17th. The title track was just released as a single/music video and is so good. Also, the features he has for the album are insane. 2012 will hopefully be the year where he finally gets the recognition he deserves.
Aside from there, I'm still hoping a new So Many Dynamos album will come out this year. Maybe in the fall.
I probably would have voted for her if I liked Sleigh Bells more, because she is definitely attractive, but I voted for someone who I enjoy more for their music than for obvious good looks. That's what "crush" makes me think of, anyway - talented first and attractive/cute second.
A move I've been looking forward to, Friends with Kids (starring Adam Scott and Jon Hamm, ladies), recently leaked online about four months before its scheduled release. It's an independent film with 'less than a $10 million budget', which is probably still kind of a lot but also much less than the Wolverine movie. I'm not sure how much of an impact this leak will have on the movie's overall numbers, especially since it seems like the kind of movie that will appeal specifically to Adam Scott-lovers, but who knows. Maybe early viewers will love it and tell everyone else to see it rather than download it when it comes out in theaters.
You're right that the worst thing about movies, music, etc. leaking is that the producers of the content don't have any control over the leak. Some musicians will purposefully leak fake copies of their records that then circulate over the internet; maybe the same should happen with films now.
Yeah, lots of typos and weird sentence structures. Understandable given the length of the interview, but definitely distracting at times. Also the interviewer called himself 'a gay.'
I agree with that sentiment. This is the first year in a while that I haven't been able to definitively choose a favorite album of the year; a lot of really good albums came out, but none made me freak out in excitement like in the last couple years.
I guess Stereogum doesn't cover too much punk (or what can loosely be called punk, anyway), but new albums by Joyce Manor, Bomb the Music Industry!, Andrew Jackson Jihad,and Lemuria would probably be on my list. Aside from the Joyce Manor record, those bands released really good music that wouldn't be too out of place on an indie rock-skewing list like this.
Also surprised at the lack of Wye Oak - Civilian, but there's a lot of things I haven't heard on the list yet so maybe there's a reason for that.
I don't know, I like that Stereogum posted this news on the day the Archive was officially up rather than when the not-fully-functional beta version went up.
"He's never going to throw a pick. He's always going to get a touchdown." This is why I like Tom Brady, as a life-long Patriots fan (Adam Vinatieri spoke at my elementary school when I was in fourth grade about staying in school! And about team loyalty, obviously), though I realize this is why everyone else hates him. Sorry, y'all.
Sort of hoping that this could mark the start of a shift in music, where there's maybe less emphasis on bands recording albums and more emphasis on taping and releasing live recordings like this that serve as a snapshot of the band at that time.
Unless that is a joke that I don't get, those movies are called Before Sunrise and Before Sunset.
I agree with the John Cusack option presented by others.
A.I. is one of those movies that seems like it should be really interesting, but then you watch it and it's just white noise and felt walls for three hours, even during the underwater Manhattan scenes, which should be captivating in theory. It's just a very boring movie.
I do not have a car to listen to new albums to, but I agree that it's a great way to listen to them. Or on any sort of decent speakers instead of crappy laptop speakers or earbuds. But that costs money too. Good sound is expensive, which is frustrating because some artists (like Drake!) still release albums that are sonically interesting and not compressed to all hell.
Yeah, I noticed that too. She went from saying "it went up 18%" to "18% of students are trans-gendered" in the span of, like, five seconds. Either she is not very smart or she does not think that we are very smart.
Man, what a great setlist: so many great songs, and Death Cab still so many more great songs that weren't even on the setlist. Their back catalog is ridiculous.
