WILCO – The Whole Love (Part 4)
“MOR meh.” Not Brandon’s most articulate phrase, but one we’re sticking with, apparently. Brandon goes to great lengths to refute the charges that he A.) needs to listen more carefully and B.) needs to spend more time with the album. To paraphrase: Spending more time with boring people doesn’t always or even often make them … Continue reading
WILCO – The Whole Love (Part 3)
“This is art, man,” Chris says of Wilco’s The Whole Love in part 3 of his discussion with Brandon. He also starts bandying about quotes from the film, I Am Trying To Break Your Heart, and implies that Brandon doesn’t have a “careful ear.” The cad.
WILCO – The Whole Love (Parts 1 and 2)
Chris Mollica doesn’t talk about this in his dialectics, but he sees these discussions as battles to the death. He sends little violent text messages saying things like, “I’m coming for your throat.” I want you to know this because we should hold him to it. He kicks off this round by declaring his love … Continue reading
MISTER HEAVENLY – Out of Love (Pts 1-4+)
Senior contributor, Chris Mollica, and newest AudioVoler, Jennifer Lao, dissect Out of Love, the debut album from Mister Heavenly, a threesome comprised of Unicorns/Islands frontman, Nick Thorburn, Man Man’s Ryan Kattner (aka Honus Honus), and Modest Mouse drummer, Joe Plummer. Then Brandon, who can’t keep his mouth shut, jumps into the fray. The full conversation … Continue reading
MISTER HEAVENLY – Out of Love (Part 4+)
Jenn tries to wrap things up by comparing Out of Love to Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and the Shirelles. It makes more sense when you read it. It does end up inciting Chris’s rage, however, and he vows to spend the rest of his days hunting down Jennifer Lao, his newest arch … Continue reading
MISTER HEAVENLY – Out of Love (Part 3.5)
A rapid fire six point response to Chris’s letter courtesy of one Brandon Hall.
MISTER HEAVENLY – Out of Love (Part 3)
Chris blows up Broken Social Scene for no good reason. Also the Shins. And WU LYF. Chris, apparently, likes everything besides Mister Heavenly and Ocean’s 12. He also does an impression of Brandon. But really, that’s like a Cosby impression. Everybody’s got one.
MISTER HEAVENLY – Out of Love (Part 2+)
Jenn took some time to respond, but it was most definitely worth the wait. Some cliffs notes: “Bronx Sniper” makes her break things; her mom is like George Clooney in the saddest way; she’s considering bringing mustachioed men into her shower. Read on.
MISTER HEAVENLY – Out of Love (Part 1.5)
So, Brandon couldn’t hold his tongue. He was all excited to take the week off but he’s an opinionated SOB, so while Jenn suffered an all-nighter at her job, Brandon sat and stewed. And stewed. And thought, “You only know one Man Man song? One!?” (Where’s an interrobang when you need one!?) Buy Out of … Continue reading
MISTER HEAVENLY – Out of Love (Part 1)
Senior contributor, Chris Mollica, writes his first letter to newest AudioVoler, Jennifer Lao, dissecting Out of Love, the debut album from Mister Heavenly, a threesome comprised of Unicorns/Islands frontman, Nick Thorburn, Man Man’s Ryan Kattner (aka Honus Honus), and Modest Mouse drummer, Joe Plummer. Chris thinks Ocean’s Twelve doesn’t care about him. Goddammit, Chris. George … Continue reading
