BEIRUT – The Rip Tide (Part 3)
“If the National are a one trick pony, their trick is giving blowjobs.” That’s right. Brandon took the “one trick pony” metaphor a step further and maybe a step too far. That, at the end of an already long-ass post. Dude had a lot to say. Most of it’s interesting though, I promise.
BEIRUT – The Rip Tide (Part 2)
Cutter argues that The Rip Tide is Condon’s most personal effort to date and, therefore, his favorite. He also goes to town bludgeoning a one trick pony metaphor to the point that we had to call in the Humane Society to get the son of a bitch to lay off. Hide yo wife, hide yo … Continue reading
BEIRUT – The Rip Tide (Part 1)
Brandon pens a lovely letter to his old friend, Cutter Davis, about his inability to get laid in college. It may or may not have anything to do with Beirut’s third LP, The Rip Tide, out now on his very own imprint, Pompeii. Is this young Zach Condon’s holding pattern or a harbinger for the … Continue reading
MOONFACE – Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped (Pts 1-5)
Spencer Krug’s debut LP from his solo-project, Moonface, titled Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped via Jagjaguwar. After a week Sarah started to dig it while Brandon said it didn’t make him want to stab himself in the face with a rusty spade. That’s a good thing, right? All five parts of what turned … Continue reading
MOONFACE – Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped (Part 5)
In this thrilling conclusion to the Organ Music dialectic, Sarah accuses Brandon of being dramatic and makes up an acronym, which she then explains, thus eliminating the efficacy of the acronym. Also, listen to the final song of the album.
MOONFACE – Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped (Part 4)
Brandon takes issue with a few of Sarah’s statements. It seems like the album’s souring on him. That’ll happen when you listen to organ music over and over again for a week. Unless you’re Sarah, apparently.
MOONFACE – Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped (Part 3)
So, it appears Sarah has come around and thinks Krug found himself in the organ. She also tells us that she has a little “pop dude” living inside of her and presumes that this is normal and universal. Let me be the first to point out that only Scientologists and pregnant ladies have little people … Continue reading
MOONFACE – Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped (Part 2)
Brandon digs into Moonface and whines that it’s not more like Sunset Rubdown’s Dragonslayer or Wolf Parade’s Apologies to the Queen Mary. He also seems to make an allusion to dead horses being beaten. In summation, Brandon is a pointlessly violent whiner.
MOONFACE – Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped (Part 1)
Spencer Krug’s debut LP from his 4,756th project, this his solo-effort, Moonface titled Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped is out today via Jagjaguwar. I think Sarah has listened to the album, though she seems to have preferred opening the dialectic by musing on the prolific music machine that is Spencer Krug. Who can … Continue reading
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
