Progressive Boink

i think enough time has passed for me to finally accept the fact that "movies" by alien ant farm is a great song

[Fuzzy Dunlop]

aw who am i kidding i've known all along

They actually have several good songs, though admitting this and maintaining dignity with my music-lover friends is next to impossible.

"Glow" is fuckin TIGHEEEET, boy

[K-Funk All-Star]

I've had Axis of Awesome's "Four Chord Song" on repeat a lot lately. They're right, though - most of the popular songs from the last 40 years use the same four chords.

Other than that, uh, "Elmo's Ducks." What, I have a toddler.

DISPOSABLE HEROES BY METALLICA

Currently I am watching the "Airplanes" video

because Hayley Williams in a planetarium is about an avocado shy of being my happy place

I don't like those lyrics but that song has a pretty solid sound for a pop tune.

The B.O.B cd is really good. I mean it's a rapper who plays his own guitar. Not a bad angle, and as far as new rappers go, his material is fresh. He has songs with Hayley Williams obviously, and even Rivers Cuomo.

On one track, "Kids", he pretty much takes the entire arrangement, sound and structure of "The Kids Don't Stand a Chance" by Vampire Weekend and makes it his own. I'm not the world's biggest VW fan, so I prefer this version, but both songs are good in their own way.

Of course the three songs on the CD I did not like are the only three that Pitchfork said were any good so once again, my ideas in whats good for music are skewed.

You're thinking of MGMT's "Kids." Which is disappointing, because while I really love that song it is overplayed in my circles. I would rather hear "Kids Dont Stand a Chance"

[Fuzzy Dunlop]

no he's right

[Andy]

welp, shit, hes done both

[Andy]

and it is awesome I might add

B.O.B. did MGMT as well?

Too many acronyms ITT

the only thing i'm going to say about MIA's new album is that it genuinely pisses me off that it's called /\/\/\Y/\, which just looks awkward, why not go all the way and make it /\/\/\\//\, which might look more like "mava" but at least it doesn't look like a desperate attempt to salvage some logic out of a ridiculous album title that no one would understand anyway if every blog or review didn't find the need to point out that it's supposed to say "maya," and it at least looks more like an actually-passable album title in a snobby indie-buzz-band kind of way, like !!! or something.
