M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (Part 4)
Brandon is torn like Natalie Imbruglia. Remember that? I just took you back, son. This is the most Natalie Imbruglia’s been talked about in 10 years. In news relevant to M83, Brandon questions André’s assertion that the album is full of filler, masturbates to Rita Hayworth, breaks up with shuffle – the whore – and … Continue reading
M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (Part 3)
It’s André’s turn and he barely finished being introduced to Saturdays=Youth before getting walloped over the head with Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming. Consider André walloped. Also, “hit shuffle, bitches.” His words, not mine.
M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (Part 2+)
Chris Atto defends the hell out of M83’s latest opus as a conceptual gem about childlike innocence. It was almost a perfect letter until he started bragging about his French skills. He’s new to this, but he needs to learn that this is no place for self-aggrandizing hubris. J/K, that’s all this place is for! … Continue reading
M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (Part 1)
M83’s Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming doesn’t come out until October 18th, but the damn thing is so epic, we had to get an early jump on it. Brandon enlists the help of Chris Atto and André Salas to break down this double disc follow-up to the spectacular Saturdays=Youth.
ST. VINCENT – Strange Mercy (Pts 1-4)
St. Vincent’s third album, Strange Mercy, may be her best and may be one of the best of the year. Brandon goes about falling in love Annie Clark all over again. Greg searches for a craving that never comes. The full dialectic after the jump.
ST. VINCENT – Strange Mercy (Part 4+)
Greg relishes in the comforts of his 30s. Just one step closer to death, I say. No wonder he picked the “Surgeon” quote as his valediction. Annie Clark then confesses her love. Brandon, of course, reciprocates.
ST. VINCENT – Strange Mercy (Part 3)
Brandon went to Wal-Mart and bought himself some ammunition for his .22 hyperbole gun. He then went home, pulled the gun out of the safe in his garage, loaded up, and fired it at the internets. “Strange Mercy is a flawless album.” His words, not mine. Later, he laments the discovery that Annie Clark is … Continue reading
ST. VINCENT – Strange Mercy (Part 2)
Greg catches up on St. Vincent’s discography, comparing everything to everything and digging into some compositional hooha and actually calling out one of the songs on the album as cold and monotonous. But only one song. He’s on the Annie Clark boat, fyi. But did he answer Brandon’s question? No. Of course not.
ST. VINCENT – Strange Mercy (Part 1)
St. Vincent’s third album, Strange Mercy, may be her best and may be one of the best of the year. But Brandon doubts it’ll bring mainstream popularity. One thing he doesn’t doubt – Annie Clark is the coolest person ever. At least in the top 100. I mean, that’s saying something. There are a lot … Continue reading
