They are right about the robots though.

As long as "Maurice Ravel" comes somewhere before Mozart, you have taste my friend. I've never heard of my life with the thrill kill kult, perhaps you should give me some. Ridiculously long, polysyllabic bandnames are no longer the de rigueur, so hit me up.

far out. that freaky elephant march in allegro non troppo is put to Ravel's Bolero.

Also, you may be 6 months behind everyone else but I'm about 15 years so what are your thoughts on Soul Coughing?

It's brought back the glorification of Motley Crue/Slash/Acid Wash Jeans. Fuckers.

oh, such a hilarious band. i only got into them due to too much reading of Pitchfork (shudder). both of their albums are a blast. if you don't have them i can burn them for you!

Pitchfork can be very dangerous. Read about Travis Morrison's album Travistan to find out why. I'm intrigued more than ever now to read beat this week. Why purdy, why should i leave the street press in the stack?
