6 Was it Come On Die Young you were listening to? I thought so too when I listened to that. I actually didn't really mind Rock Action when my roommate put it on though.

(Although I have to admit it was the first album that made me realise I could care about Music With Guitars In as much as I cared about Music Without Guitars In.)

My answer for #6- I've got a few Mogwai CDs, but even after a few years have not set my world on fire, at least I picked up the Matadors as promo sleds out of the used bin. I do like the slow one with the football sample the ig sample on 'Come on Die Young' and that one that they say fxck it and rock out on 'Young Teen' is pretty good. Labradford is hit and miss. I really liked 'Mi Media Naranja' and 'E Luxo So', but 'A Stable Reference' and the last one are pretty dull and just don't have the melody.
My answer for #5- I've been curious about that one as it one I have never had. After finding the Virgin remaster of It's Only Rock and Roll' in the used bin, I found it better than I remembered it being. "Fingerprint File" is one good coked up, paranoid disco tracks. 'Goats Head Soup' I didn't like as much, as there are a few tunes that kind of drag out.

Rough Trade are responsible for as many sins as they are miracles
#4 - "Bang A Gong," "Real Wild Child"...I guess at the time it was really 'innovative' or whatever for him to sample himself, especially with the turntables and all, but jesus, that song blows.

i guess i'm predominantly referring to their current amazing streak of releases. when a release featuring Jarvis Cocker is the worst thing they've put out all year they must be doing something right.

Also worth getting: 'New Thing' and (if you can stomach the lyrics as stupid as the title,) 'Hot Little Summer Girl.'
I never heard anything past that first record, but for a hair-metal Cheap Trick, they weren't half-bad.
Mogwai's "Young Team" is my fave, though I enjoy the new one as well. I find "Come On Die Young" boring, and haven't heard the others.
The Strokes, unfortunately, have at least one more record to inflict on us before Plant's record can be declared safe.

I also only half agree with Rickey Wright, that Dirty Work is underrated, but not as severely as those three. "One Hit To The Body" belongs on any comp.

a) The first sign of the next 'bopper generation, far too innocent and LizzieMcGuireesque to be able to relate to Neptunes beats, Avril or Xtina?
or...
b) Five years behind its time and the last huzzah of semi-wholesome pop music, bought mainly out of nostalgia reasons?
Also how does that Rolling Stones t-shirt fit into all of this.

I realize this was a particularly ostentatious review, written by some haughty upstart who thinks he knows about music, but I honestly think I could make a better album than this, even though I currently suffer from poor eyesight, bronchitis, and a sizeable gash that precludes the use of my right hand.

a cool thing about the allegory of the cave is that a cave is very womblike, a gate between darkness and light.

"Playing Hot Revolver by Lil Wayne at night is pretty much the most you thing ever" most depressing thing i've ever been told by a fucking app

It told me that playing "High" by Miley Cyrus in the evening is the most me thing ever, and I found the total inaccuracy of that reassuring: evidence that the machines are still a few years away from actually knowing us.
