yung folks deciding it's ok to like u2 again

glad that's settled

glad i could assist

avril's had more than one awesome single btw

Fuck, remember when D-Plan covered Owl City and it sounded suspiciously similar? Are these guys ever in the same room at the same time?

Nirvana introduced me to The Wipers and Fang.. And believe it or not, NIN introduced me and many others to Joy Division. I'd like to think some actual young music fans who read Pitchfork might appreciate the cover choices by No Age and Japandroids in the same respect.. or even like Crystal Castles covering Platinum Blonde, who I had never heard of before 2 months ago.. Some bands have gotten it right in the past year or so.

Also MGMT are kinda cool for covering The Clean.

Are there any "major" "indie" artists who are like "I enjoy obscure punk singles from the 80s" or "2010 had lots of good bands on mini-labels such as random bizarre rock bands A B & C"

Los Campesinos, Foals, Dave Grohl all seem to be at pains to do one or both of these when able

covering old punk songs from the 80s is awesome, basically just like the traditions of folk music

video game coverage y'all

i read it--it was actually pretty good

eh not that weird--some of the principals @ kill screen are ex-p4k dudes

Where is the ilxor poll compiling all of the Odd Future stories just like with the National and Wavves?

I'm not sure which headline I hate more.. "Fugazi Might Still Reunite One Day" or "Pixies Might Make Another Album One Day"

And of course both are currently in "most read"

top ten most read:

Take Cover: Radiohead: The King of Limbs
Radiohead to Play The King of Limbs on TV
Listen: The Black Keys Cover Buddy Holly

Well, there it is, then.

Bowers returns, says a few things. Reminds me of something Chuck Eddy and I were talking about on the podcast the other way and it sounds like he's hit his own limit too.

and we've got a redesign y'all: http://pitchfork.com/

8) LCD Soundsystem ended.

No other act claimed the past, present, and future so authoritatively, archly, and elegantly

I don't get it at all, the last one was very good, why bother changing it to unreadable and chaotic version only for the sake of it "being new"? the new one's ugly and needs serious tweaking

looks fine, is unusable.

"The new edition features larger, clearer images, improved organization" - lol, one negates the other, bigger pictures make everything a mess

plus: there's a hidden dick in their new logo
