That list is so shamelessly predictable one actually wouldn't predict it.

Maybe that was his "Bands I'd Like To Play At My Funeral" dreamlist or something.

one month passes...

What's the delay on the February/March Consumer Guide? It says it's supposed to be updated the first of every other month.

he does, yeah. which is too many. he's right about her general trajectory but too nice about it. but everybody gets to pick their own people to be too nice about, i guess.

He did like her debut pretty well (A-). I pretty much agree with him about Ys's shortcomings.

Can anyone make sense of this koan (his summary of Nellie McKay's latest)?

Too much too soon, and also too late, a syndrome that cries out for professional advice ("Cupcake," "Food").

I feel he is underrating the album, but I can't figure out why.

I like the one for the last Strokes record:

You know how it is--the gym does more for your wind than for your jump shot ("You Only Live Once," "Ask Me Anything"). ***
