THE HORRORS – Skying (Pts 1-4)
Instead of posting Part 4 separately, because we’re running a little behind this week, we just went right for the full Friday compilation. The full dialectic, including Megan’s final, insecurity-laden statement about a specific British pop music torch, can be found after the jump along with a link to the full album stream, which is … Continue reading
THE HORRORS – Skying (Part 3)
The Horrors‘ Skying is their best album to date, gimmick or no, says Brandon. He’s also wasted, so take that with a grain of salt. Furthermore, he’d like you to know that this is not a dance album. Well, it is and it isn’t. (This section is also being written by Brandon, who remains in … Continue reading
THE HORRORS – Skying (Part 2)
Megan is back with a scathing account of the 80s and queries about band “gimmicks” on the path to success. Also, she still wishes she were a DJ. She doesn’t come right out and say it, but…c’mon. DJing is way sweeter than med school.

WEEZER – Pinkerton (Part 4) The Final Installment (bum bum buuuum…)
The final installment of our Pinkerton dialectic is a two-parter! Greg wrote his entire post on his phone from Comic-Con which just absolutely stuns me, not only in the many salient points he was able to make, but in its general overall grammatical correctness! “El Scorcho” kind of blows, he says in so many words. … Continue reading
WEEZER – Pinkerton (Part 3)
Brandon briefly thinks about writing with structure a skill, then decides, “Eh, screw it,” and just scribbles out a list of thoughts. Brilliant thoughts, obviously. Things covered include Matt Sharp = Jay Bennet. Pinkerton = Vs. Music Videos = Murderers of Rock Stars.
WEEZER – Pinkerton (Part 2)
Greg claims he had a girlfriend in 1997 but the reason nobody ever met her was because she lived 30 minutes away, but seriously, guys, he totally had a girlfriend. Srsly. Don’t worry Greg, I believe you. He also shares some thoughts on Pinkerton, for what it’s worth. Mini-spoiler: He’s still cool with it. Part … Continue reading
WEEZER – Pinkerton (Part 1)
We’re Crate Digging this week, and pulling out Weezer’s sophomore 1996 release, the much beloved and beleaguered Pinkerton. Brandon and his old screenwriting pal, Greg Schmidt, try to figure out which is more accurate – Pinkerton as commercial and critical failure, or beloved masterpiece of the 90s. Brandon’s first up to bat. Part 1 after … Continue reading
