looooooool:

Songs of Innocence is perhaps the album where U2 most self-consciously plays itself—or more distressingly, risk causing a temporal paradox by swiping moves from mantle-carriers Arcade Fire and Coldplay, akin to time traveling to the future and sleeping with your own grandchild.

gotta say that's the first time I'm seen U2 accused of the music crime equivalent of using a time machine for the purposes of incest

just came here to post that line

i said that bono was a bad'un all along

I said but, but IN THE FUTURE

"said that" ah well

I said butt

Butt to the Future IV: the Secret of Bono's Grandchild

not sure why time travel would be necessary here

Seriously, I know bands who sleep with their grandchildren all the time and they don't need to go to the future.

bands with albums??

Wait, we're talking about music?

I love that line

URL says it all ... almost trolling on their part

except that's... exactly what happens in the video?

he didn't really marry sting

they will walk in fields of WEED mirit

i think we as a people really need to pick our battles when it comes to declaring shit "dumb"

"The failings of Alt-J's sophomore effort has" . . . i have never seen so many typos on a website but IT'S MY FAULT FOR NOTICING

wau @ Perfume Genius getting BNM; the last record was such a miserable experience that it felt like a joke on the audience

"The failings of Alt-J's sophomore effort has" . . . i have never seen so many typos on a website but IT'S MY FAULT FOR NOTICING

aw, i actually really enjoyed the bluntness of that summary:

The failings of Alt-J's sophomore effort have little to do with hype or unfair standards and everything to do with the album in question being really dull and tuneless

the last record was such a miserable experience that it felt like a joke on the audience

and it also got bnm

New Miserable Experience

new perfume genius much better than old perfume genius imho

Loved that last PG record! No opinion on the new one yet...

At one that I saw in late 2012, he reminded me of a cat, drawing the audience in by pulling away, rolling over and showing his softer, playful side only to snap back into cool focus.

Oh yes I loved that tour

The show I saw, when his guitar player tried to rub his belly he scratched him hard enough to draw blood. Lots of gasps then applause.

let's focus on the bizarre mixed metaphor there

one thing i love about cats is how they just snap back into cool focus like *that*

I like the phrasing of the headline "Kendrick Lamar freestyles for six minutes on Power 106, gets interviewed." As if the interview happened because he freestyled for six minutes. "WHO ARE YOU? WHAT JUST HAPPENED?"

"tell. us. more."

gotta say that's the first time I've seen U2 accused of the music crime equivalent of using a time machine for the purposes of incest

Although "Chimes" may mark a step forward in one regard, it's also static in terms of tempo. The remix provided by prolific UK producer Gammer that bookends the EP suffers from the same problem: it's sped up and flecked with added percussion, but it also lacks a push-pull velocity change.

this is a very weird criticism.

i hate how dance songs don't just randomly change tempos in the the middle of the song

whoever wrote that clearly has no idea who Gammer is otherwise they would have noted how incongruous it is to have a happy hardcore doyen remixing Hudson Mohawke

(the preview of it on Beatport sounded neat just now fwiw!)

For five years, PC Worship have been the sort of amorphous New York ensemble that can only be defined by a series of question marks. Is this an improv noise collective? A "mutant soul band"? A casual experiment in home-recording? If so, why is their loft called Le Wallet? Did they really all meet as New School jazz majors? Is it true they build their own instruments? And why is one called "the shitar"?

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/19845-pc-worship-social-rust/

PC Worship is, in essence, a twisted, low-pitched vision of subterranean psychedelia—variously made of bad-moon-lit trash-punk, droning minimalism, prepared pianos, and Albert Ayler-worshipping sax freak-outs
