And it’s pretty hilarious.

The performance isn’t too shabby either, but I have to say, Accelerate is taking a bit longer than usual for a new R.E.M. release to grow on me. Maybe it’s the lack of mandolin…

Oh Ben, how silly you are.

Man, Stereogum sure does hate the way Rolling Stone does things. I guess you can’t blame them. Is Rolling Stone to Stereogum as Pitchfork is to RTP?
Either way, I digress. Check out this piece where Billy Corgan dares to question Radiohead’s musical integrity. He questions Amy Winehouse in the same breath, which I could have […]

After getting a ton of grief from my blog-mates as a result of my recent email inquiry regarding the new Counting Crows album, Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings, and whether or not any of them could hook a brother (me) up, I started wondering if I was alone in what I now realize is an […]

Anyone see the Trib feature on Cubs broadcaster Len Kasper Thursday?

Rev was there along with his buddy Joe […]

Les Savy Fav: Slugs in the Shrubs

Thanks to Erik for the heads up on this great interview with Midlake’s front man, Tim Smith. I personally don’t get the whole Radiohead comparison, although I’ll readily admit that Smith’s vocals are certainly very nearly as beautiful as Yorke’s.
