– Great review of the Ram reissue by Jayson Greene today. (via marathonpacks)
Yes, this is fantastic.
(via barthel)
I was trying not to blog that quote all day.
Above all else, I’ve learned from the reissue of Ram (and its reviews) that it was loathed upon release. I had no idea about that—...

Music Diary Project, Day 6.
Did I miss a day? I’m not sure.
In any case, yesterday’s listening began with putting the first five songs from Kimbra’s Vows on my iPod (it was all I had the room for), and listening to it on the way to work. I listened to “Settle Down” twice. Then, yes, I went right back to listening to My Bloody Valentine, where I listened to most of Loveless but skipped to...

When I got home I tried to...

Music Diary Project, Day 1.
My listening is broken up between commute and home-listening. I have an extremely long commute. This is an occasional bane of my existence. But it does make for extended listening time and also reading. This morning, before I went to work, I listened to this song:
Liars— Broken Witch
Followed by two songs from the new Best Coast album before I turned it off in bored disgust. Then my commute...

– Lyrics from “Slow-Mo-Tion,” a song off of Marilyn Manson’s new “Born Villan” album. I mean, let’s just look at those lines without the baggage of knowing that it’s Marilyn Manson. Like, that could probably be a Kanye lyric. And we’d probably blog...
