Let’s spare everyone the preamble and get right into it shall we? Here are my top ten records of 2007, along with my best guess at my current favorite track on each. Thanks in advance for sincerely caring, or not caring at all but lying to me.

10 - Feist, The Reminder

Favorite Track: “I Feel It […]

More great albums from established artists in my top 10 this year than “new” bands. Guess it means we need better albums from new bands. I’m talking to you The Sun’s Harmful Rays and Bandstraction…
My 10 favorite albums of 2007:
10 Explosions In the Sky - All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone
09 White Rabbits […]

Vampire Weekend: the preppiest band I’ve ever seen. As fellow RTPers will tell you, this album has been in heavy rotation in a lot of our rock libraries. I like the album, but it’s not my favorite of the year (more on that later this week…) and after seeing them live I’m convinced they’ll make […]

That’s the opportunity you’ve been presented with on this glorious Friday morning via the 2007 Pitchfork Media Reader Survey.
Finally, a chance to formally request more metaphors dripping with obscure adjectives, more American Apparel ads, more e-blow jobs for Steve Malkmus, and more fodder for the unspoken competition between Pitchfork and Reckless Records for who’s the […]

According to an article on MTV.com, perhaps the most well respected music news outlet in all the universe, some Radiohead fans “feel duped by In Rainbows‘ poor sound quality” and “possible ulterior motives.” My guess is that the people complaining are the same people who chose to pay nothing for the downloads.
For the record, the […]

Have we all had the misfortune to see the trailer for the new movie musical sensory-raping abomination of celluloid & sound that’s being called Across the Universe? Let’s take the greatest pop songs ever written and RUIN THEM BEYOND ALL RECOGNITION! RIGHT?!
*sigh* I didn’t see Dream Girls, but I’m pretty sure this is Exhibit […]

Remember a few weeks ago when we talked about whether Perry Ferrell was DA-worthy? The overall feeling from the peanut gallery was that, despite all his quirks and general eccentricities, Perry’s pros far outweighed his cons.
Well, Urob over at Action-Squad offered up some further evidence in support of the contrary today. Seriously, Kelly Rowland […]

Pop. You hear that? Thats my RTP blogging cherry. Consider it officially popped. I’ve been neglecting writing for this site since we’ve started it up that I figured it was time to jump right in. Also, I’m a douche.
One of my favorite releases this year is Bat For Lashes Fur And Gold. Sure, sure it’s […]

Here’s one of the (many) things I don’t understand about Pitchfork. As you saw from Frazer’s post below, the wild wild internet experienced a bit of a false start this morning when an alleged leaked track from Radiohead’s new album surfaced on a random MySpace fan page. To everyone’s dismay, it was later revealed that […]

This commercial has been on for a couple months now, but I was just reminded of it last night in between Grossman’s numerous foibles. In an interview that happened shortly after the commercial aired, Wilco defended itself against fan backlash, saying “We feel okay about VWs. Several of us even drive them.”
It was later revealed […]
