So I just got home from work and and am going crazy poring over my charts with all the new retaggings. Some of them are great (yay, Hail To The Thief…except for There There) some of them not so much (what is going on with Sigur Ros' ( ) ?) and some of them just plain inaccurate (Joanna Newsom's 'Cosmia' vs the version she did for the Ys Street Band EP, I had them tagged separately and they're merged, same with C, C, C, C)…

The weirdest is all the song I have in my charts which when clicked on…

The Amazon.com Editorial Review on Wooody Woodpecker:

"The opening tune "Woody Woodpecker" piles so many chintzy and cheesy elements together it should be the most annoying thing ever. But it's expertly crafted and kaleidoscopic, and it will only annoy people who hate fun. You should take this song, or the entire album, with you on a first date with you and play it for that person. If they do not like it, you should never date them again, even if they are very rich."

Pitchfork on Water Curses:

"Water Curses seems unbound by genre or era, and serves…

01. How did you get into #31?

I was a big fan of Queer as Folk (the US version) once upon a time around four yeras ago, and I stayed up until ass o'clock in the morning watching this one storyline, and then Brian and Justin got back together to the tune of Lover's Spit and it was beautiful. And the next day I downloaded You Forgot It In People and I fell in love with Broken Social Scene.

02. What was the first song you ever heard by #22?

Needle In The Hay is the first Elliott Smith…

30 questions about your top 30!

1. How did you get into 29?
Belle and Sebastian. It's weird, I have this memory of hearing about them when I was like, anywhere from 10-13 (1996-1999) and being like, "Belle and Sebastian, what are they some kind of Disney group?" Other than that I don't remember how I got into them.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?
Elliott Smith. Probably Needle in the Hay, when it was in The Royal Tenenbaums. That scene is just perfect.

3. How many albums by 13 do you…

Pavement, The Beets - Central Park SummerStage - 24 September 2010

Panda Bear, Gala Drop, Teengirl Fantasy, Avey Tare DJ Set - The Beach at Governor's Island - 11 September 2010

I was bored, and taking this online quiz. I may or may not have giggled at this question for a minute straight.

I had a spontaneous post dissecting the ins and outs of why I think this would be the perfect lineup for the new Radiohead album , and then I accidentally closed the tab. Fuck. My main theory was that it would be fucking brilliant to open the album with Spooks into Down Is The New Up. Luckily I had the tracklist basically committed to memory. This post is now much less detailed. Anyway, discuss and critique.

Spooks
Down Is The New Up
Arpeggi
Nude
Videotape
15 Step
Bodysnatchers
4 Minute Warning
Go Slowly
Bangers 'N' Mash
All I Need
House…

I think someone messed up on this whole 'Soundtrack To Your Life' meme that's been going around. Because it started out as a selection of appropriate songs, and now it's some sort of shuffle game. And it doesn't really have any significance anymore.

For example, while shuffling along I came across Za. For my 'Death Scene'. After I stopped laughing, though, I started thinking about it, and how cool it would be were a convincing Death Scene with Za playing in the background.

Face, such a beautiful face
But time waits for no one
So why don't we get…

Here we go.
