  1. That's in the eye of the listener! To my ears there are stronger underlying themes to "Beatles for Sale" than there are from the overt "we're a different band!" conceit of "Sgt. Pepper". I like "concept albums", but then again I feel recording a "collection of songs" is a concept in itself - one that is perhaps more worthy of attention than the (probably half-baked gimmicky (but maybe not!)) "concept" a band might put over their collection of songs. Also, I call baloney on technical limitations of a "unified whole", records didn't need 23 minutes on a side for coherence to occur. A two-
  2. I thought they recorded on Pro Tools until they went to Sear, where they recorded on tape. Did I mix this up?
  3. Interesting video concept, and best use of high-five:
  4. I also enjoyed this. I think Anderson and Baumbach are hilarious when they write together.
  5. http://www.criterion.com/current/posts/1311 neat!

  7. Is it because she's incredibly smug? I find her really smug. However, as annoying as every TV pundit is, I find G. Beck dangerous. He's stirring up shit and giving vague instructions about how to change or "take back" the nation. Making people angry and confused and saying "hey, somebody needs to do something" never ends well. That's what makes it unwatchable to me.
  8. Scarlett Johansson and four boring dude celebrities Scarlett has no interest in.
  9. I like albums too, but why disparage the single? Why can't a song stand on its own?
  10. This is my favorite thing said in here. Also, I was in a record store today and they were selling CDs. STILL ALIVE!
  11. I don't think "the album" is in any danger at the moment, but I'd love to see rock bands take "the single" more seriously again.
  12. I don't buy CDs too often anymore, they're not a particularly attractive middle ground between MP3 and LP.
  13. Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I like how the interviewer tried to have him explain his philosophy, but they also could have asked "what's next?"
  14. Here's an excerpt from an English to Italian to Irish to Japanese to English translation: Suddenly, I used to be half the man I I was not in suspension, shadows, Oh, yesterday was a surprise. She I go, instead, I do not know really. I said. Something wrong, now I said yesterday, in time.
  15. All they are removing themselves from is the "moment" you prescribe as best. Why can't videotaping be part of their moment? I appreciate a good concert video on youtube.
