And, FWIW, dude also happens to be dead wrong.

do you want separate totals for crimes against coherence and crimes against grammar, or an aggregate?

Age: 20

20 is the new 14 these days. i don't think you are even considered an adult anymore until you are 40.

I'm just lolling at the spelling in the URL itself.

Scott OTM, we are nearing a neotenic culture in re: indie music writing.

Other than trying to work out if 'cult fallowing' is a typo I can't really see what elevates this for derision over a trillion other nobodies with blogspot opinions4u out there

I guess I don't read many of these, then. I was literally shocked when I read this review. It reads like a hysterical Facebook status update by an illiterate.

literally cannot believe that a piece of writing on a blog is misspelled

i am going to craft a strongly-worded email to the blogger and CC the new york times

this is just fucking disgusting

what happened to standards

If I had to put on an indian jewelry album with my grandma, it would be totaled.

holy shit this guys blog has been read by almost one thousand people--cant believe someone with an audience of that size is a poor writer

This isn't great. I wasn't much of a fan of their first album. They sound like a . And I can't stand Ezra Koenig's voice, so that doesn't help.

i am going to email all 6 of his followers and let them know that they are following a blog that had grammatical errors

max, you sound like a .

I don't really get the point of this thread though.

Is that a 7 out of 10? If so, LOL!

It just sounds like every other mediocre piece of indie rock that has been released in the past 10 years. Nothing special at allIt just sounds like every other mediocre piece of indie rock that has been released in the past 10 years.

also LOL!:

It's not easy for me to admit that this album is flat and uninspired and they're one of my favorite bands.

eh who cares? not a big leap from the reviews you might find on f0xyd1g1tal1$

I don't care per se, this shit is just funny.

weird cover on that album... car very un-totaled... maybe it's a shot from an 80s movie i never saw.

On Burial's Untrue: "If you've recently caught on the dubstep wave, check this out for something deeper. This is great layered electronic music. This is IDM at it's finest in my opinion. Highly recommended."

Now I know almost nothing about electronic music, but does Burial have fuck all to do with IDM?

2004 was the year of "rock" with Greenday's foray into the spotlight with American Idiot, and Linkin Park's Meteora. The later end of decade was a little more modern to the times. Chili Peppers returned with Stadium Archadium. I still remember the day I went out to buy that (probably because I bought The MArs Volta's 3rd on the same day). 2007 was more Avril and Linkin Park.

2008 was pretty recent right? Wrong. It was the beginning of the cheap bubblegum hip hop of t-pain, T.I. and Young Jeezy.

This is not to mention all of the "buzz ballad bands" like 3 Doors Down, Stained and Lifehouse. And people used to actually listen to this shit. Fuck as far as I know people still do, knowing that Miley Cyrus is constantly number one on itunes.

Lets hope for a better decade.

The early '00 were the worst. What were you listening to in 2000? Britney Spears probably.

2008 was pretty recent right? Wrong. It was two years ago.

Richard D. James' first full length as Aphex Twin. Select Ambient Works 85-92 is just what the title suggests.

This guy studied at the feet of PEW.

okay so this was funny before it got stomped into the ground so quickly

Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra

It's easy to write a pop song. It's mindless to follow structure. However it is not simple to create beautiful and emotional music that goes where it wants to. Each song is a novel of sound. Silver Mt. Zion is a unique post rock band. You give a lot to the listener that others don't. They don't rely on unbearable amounts of distortion, they don't give you cheesy made up words as their lyrics, there's no sweepingly ultra emotional crescendos, and they're by no means ambient. It's a dark, heavy and extremely organic, earthy sound. The only thing plugged into the wall is the one guitar, everything else is a sting instrument.

OH GOD MAKE IT STOP

don't be so mindless man.

FUCK 2004 ROCKED!

I consider this guy lucky: this stuff is on his blog, so one day, if he wants, he can DELETE embarrassing things he said when he was 20.

unless they're in archive.org or pasted all over the internet by then

he'll have to delete this thread, too

if anyone's read that in Google Reader, it will have all of those posts archived too so \(O_o)/

Another Jim Brenholts in training?

bahaha e-music vs idm

let he without his own embarrassing permanently-archived-on-the-internet music criticism cast the first stone
