For both of them. In fact, should revisit Blueberry Boat tomorrow.

Favorite off screen reference gag ever.

Listening to an album more often doesn't make it better. Funeral is just overwrought with emotion, and that's not bad at all. But it drowns out the detail to muscular musicianship, and it doesn't make it stronger than Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. The message gets lost in the emotional dwelling, and suddenly, the album it not even communicating to you. There is no connection attempted. This is why Funeral is strictly worse than Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and deserves the same spot it deserved in 2000-2004 list, or even further down. Furthermore, Pitchfork placed Arcade Fire at number two not because

Hi Daniel Rossen night.

It's pretty good and entertaining, but not mindblowing. EDIT/UPDATE:

I don't think anyone ever thought Pearl Jam was doing innovative or experimental things. Sure, they noodled around with accordions and mantras, but that's not outside of rock's realm. But the album sounds pretty stale. They minutely changed their sound, but as the reviewer stated, they're just making the rounds. I still can't handle the fact that Ed has finally caved and just totally relied on the crutch of "yeah yeah yeah" as a melody. That's not good music: that's corny music. Most of us shouldn't have expectations of our favorite bands but to keep some key elements of their sound: it

It doesn't seem strange to me to expect an awesome band/artist crank out an awesome album. Look at Yo La Tengo, Sonic Youth, and Neil Young. Counterexamples: Bloc Party's Silent Alarm, Interpol's Turn On The Bright Lights, The Fiery Furnaces' Rehearsing My Choir, N.A.S.A.'s Spirit Of Apollo... Your formula doesn't even factor in the N factorial term for the hype(rbole) they create.

I want my money back. I was promised choir made of volcano, and this is not it. At least Islands was modest about the fact that they're dead volcanoes.

An open letter to all you bug squishers
augurus replied to Good Old Neon's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
My skin is highly sensitive to the sawing from bugs. So yes, I will kill them so that they will not make me feel ill. I have partial prejudice because I don't want to suffer. It's sort of like defending yourself by preemptively putting an almost dead organism into your body so you don't have to suffer and or possibly die from those effects. You can choose not to kill bugs, but you don't get to judge those that do. And if you do, then stop flame-baiting. -

I thought we saged the thread to the Mariana Trench.

EDIT: Awkward.

They were very vague about the delivery details on all fronts. I am not pleased with the distribution this time around.

Love this album.

New Flaming Lips Album Now Streaming

You browser probably ran into a small hiccup trying to load the applet. Still somewhat undecided after two listens: now I know what it feels like to be a normal American. /rimshot -
Seduction is the name of the game. We might need all former members to return to pull this tight one.

It didn't stop Spoon. Also, it doesn't sound good. Better luck next time.

You're scaring me. As if hearing Yellow Ledbetter on Friends wasn't bad enough, I had to be coerced to watch that finale even though I heard a Pearl Jam song would appear on it.
