I don't understand why everyone cares about the damn thing. It's not like it's ever surprising at all.

Surprisingly, I've actually heard most of the rest of the albums.
And what I like about 50 Cent is his lack of enunciation. He's very soft, melodic, nearly legato, the words blend together like water. It's such a contrast to his image. What I don't really care for, is basically, everything else about him and his music.

Yeah, I'll publish it fairly soon. I'm just a bit lazy about rounding up all the album covers and such.
(And of course I'll be listening to Radio 3 on Friday.)

Nah, it screams "what a big lie" -- and it was, since the Avalanches album sounded way more like run-of-the-mill humorless diva house than *Paul's Boutique," no matter how many records it subtly sampled.

I just bought this issue cuz of the John Mayer/David Cross singles review thing and SPIN is so all over ILX's jock. They even did the Year In Fred Durst Craziness!
And Chuck is OTM re: The Avalanches. I found it incredibly hard to give a shit about any track for more than 10 seconds.

33 Lucinda Williams "World Without Tears"30 Cat Power "You Are Free"21 The Mars Volta "Deloused in the Crematorium"16 Blur "Think Tank"10 Radiohead "Hail to the Thief"05 Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Fever To Tell"01 The White Stripes "Elephant"
Cat's a little laconic for me, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs could have stood to wait until some more early-EP-quality material came along, but I like the others fine. I would love to hear the Spiritualized and the Outkast, but not too concerned about missing all the rest of it.
