You have killed me.
This just in: Pfork gives Morrissey an 8.0. This can mean one of two following things:
1) The album is rather brilliant after all and, in a rare burst of good taste, Pitchfork has recognized Ringleader of the Tormentors as the masterpiece it surely is, or
2) The album fucking blows seal skulls, Pitchfork sucks as many cocks as any other day and I just wasted $15 on a pre-order, because I'm a total tard.
We shall see.
So tonight it looks like I'm missing Art Brut (forgot to get tickets) to see the Stills (what? I played the first album for the first time in a while the other day and it pretty much stood up!).
Best album acquired lately: ¡Forward, Russia! - Give Me a Wall
Album I am scared to put in my record player: Charlatans - Simpatico
Best eBay score in a while: Bronski Beat - The Age of Consent (there are so many older gays trying to get rid of all their '80s dance shit on eBay it's NOT TO BE BELIEVED). So awesome.
An addendum: People, PLEASE stop using "I Love You But I've Chosen ____" as a catchphrase on everything from blogs to dancefloors. NO LONGER FUNNY. "I Love You But I've Chosen to go see Editors", "I Love You, But I've Chosen eating tacos", "I Love You, But I've Chosen to migrate 20,000 miles per year, from the north pole to the Antarctic and back, like the majestic arctic tern". STOP! STOP! STOP!
