Haha check out Rolling Stone's list to see what happens when out-of-touch boomers make a desperate grab at hipness/relevance.
EDIT: Holy shit they put the Jonas Brothers at #40
You can't fully appreciate that record until you've been in a Wiliamsburg club at 3:00 AM super-drunk and a lil coked up and the DJ throws it on and u lock eyes w/ the QT girl in the scarf and Am Appy headband on the other side of the room and it's totes transcendent and for the first time in yr life u feel compl;etely ALIVE.
Yo anyone got predix for the top five? I'll say:
5 Hercules & Love Affair
4 Portishead
3 Deerhunter
2 TVOTR
1 Fleet Foxes
Lil Wayne will be somewhere between 15 and 7.
Oh man when I first saw Barbosa's name I thought Phoenix was trading for Eddy Curry and I nearly broke down in tears of lament for Nash and Amare. Then I realized that you dudes actually meant Bell and that it was the shitty Bobcats who were trading for Curry I started breathing easy again.
From what I gathered by looking at box scores it looked like he had a habit of continuously playing Mikki Moore over Thompson and Hawes. That alone should be a firing offense.
Here's a top 5 list off the top of my head. I'm probably forgetting a lot.
1. Gang Gang Dance - Saint Dymphna
2. Diplo/Santogold - Top Ranking
3. Titus Andronicus - The Airing of Grievances
4. Boris - Smile
5. The Very Best - Esau Mwamwaya and Radioclit are the Very Best
One of Oden's biggest problems right now is that he gets zero respect from the refs and so he gets in foul trouble early, which really seems to fuck with his head. He always looks so dispirited whenever he gets pulled after his second/third foul. It's sad.
Yeah but who's their primary scoring threat now? Wallace? Felton? Those are third option players at best. I mean, I know that if Larry Brown had his druthers his team'd win every game 65-50, but I just don't see this working out for them.
It comes together beautifully in the second half. The humor becomes a lot more gallows-y and it becomes this really sad/moving meditation on, like, war and death and capitalism and shit. It's definitely worth seeing through to the end.
My school gave everyone in my Freshman class a copy of that stupid book at orientation in an attempt to create some kind of campus-wide book club or something. I've yet to meet a single person who actually read it.
