Differences between the CD they sent and mine:
1) Theirs is a shiny sleeve, with a booklet2) mine is a matt sleeve, no booklet but Track listing on the sleeve and the label.
Apart from that, difficult to tell them apart.

rolling enlightening music writing discussion:
I don't speak from experience, just as an outsider, but the music writing 'scene'/music journalism sounds so horrible.
It seems like you're constantly trying to get the approval of your higher-ups when these people base your ability on their personal taste. But I'd love to be proven wrong.
This is why I agree that it really shouldn't be about the technicalities of writing (grammar, punctuation, etc., except maybe diction) but about the ideas themselves. But really, there seems to be only a handful of music writers with semi-interesting ideas. What I mean is, not everybody is a [insert your favourite music critic here], whether it is people like Barney Hoskyns or Christgau.
But usually, the type of music writing that is done by and large is stuff anybody can do, and not genuinely interesting ideas or ideas that help understand popular culture/music, like McLuhan did, for example. Or maybe all the scholars and intellects are all in hiding!

Almost every building block on Mr Beast has a 1:1 parallel with something on Rock Action, but in every case it's a significant upgrade. Mogwai albums are like Apple's desktop operating system upgrades. Sometimes you're disappointed there's not really any new "features," but as a grownup you end up appreciating the bug fixes more than the features anyway.

I had no idea it would be this good.4. Miranda Lambert, Platinum - Whatever, she's alright.5. First Aid Kit, Stay Gold - Strong first half, at least.6. Tinashe, Aquarius - Great!7. Lana Del Rey, Ultraviolence - People still like her. That doesn't bother me.8. Kelis, Food - Jerk Ribs > everything else.9. Lykke Li, I Never Learn - I love this one.10. Beyoncé, BEYONCÉ Platinum Edition - This was my #1 album from 2013. Still love it.11. One Direction, Four - I haven't listened to this, but I like some 1D songs.12. Ex Hex, Rips - I actually wish I liked this more.13. Jessie Ware, Tough Love - Better than her debut. There, I said it!14. Various Artists, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 - Is Lorde on this? No thanks.15. Angel Olsen, Burn Your Fire for No Witness - I'm fine with this. Hardly ever listen to it.16. Dolly Parton, Blue Smoke - Dolly, always.17. Jenny Lewis, The Voyager - It's no Rabbit Fur Coat, but what is.18. FKA twigs, LP1 - YES!19. Perfume Genius, Too Bright - I have to be a mood, but when I am this is wonderful.20. St. Vincent, St. Vincent - I like it more each time I play it (which isn't often).

There are 7 hiphop albums on the pitchfork list in a year where they only bnm'd 2. It was kinda the same last year. For some reason, rap consistently gets lower review-scores and less accolades compared to how much their writers like them. It's really weird. Or really, it's not.
