Also give Ted Leo a spin if you haven’t already. I feel like he was the Jeff Rosenstock of twenty years ago.

Shake the Sheets and Hearts of Oak are high points, but even Living with the Living and the Brutalist Bricks are good. Just realizing I have shamefully never listened to anything pre-Oak.

Jeff Rosenstock is also great. Same with PUP. Morbid Stuff just hit me in the right way.

Pkew Pkew Pkew are decent, too.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Electrelane seem to be emerging from a period of dormancy.

This Saturday Sunday, they will be doing a question-and-answer session on Facebook Live and have fired up a new Instagram, where they say they promise to be more active.



Some new music would really brighten up a lovely year. I was in love with them in college, and they kind of saved my life then too.

also, the new Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever single is good. I feel this music video and Joe White's weary, shellshocked face on a spiritual level.

The album is really good and I'm glad pitchfork got over their Score Cowardice for once. They love to hedge their bets by slapping "8.3 - Best New Album" on anything they're not 1000% certain will stand the test of time.

Yeah, Pitchfork has really weird ways of scoring. Basically anything 9.0+ is incredibly rare. Over the entire 2010s decade, only 53 albums hit that mark.

Did I misread all the signs?
I was browsing Pitchfork's 10's by year. I didn't realize how few there were, but was happy to say I owned quite a few of them. I think Bjork might have been the only artist to have two albums on it, but I could be wrong.

I find that anyone who allows for 100 possible review scores is bound to fall into that trap of always hovering around the 85% mark. You feel like you have to leave enough room for the Greatest Albums Ever at the top and it psyches you out. I really think anything more than 5 ranks is pointless.

Yeah, I think the 100 point spread is really odd. What's the difference between a 8.3 and an 8.4? What makes one noticeably better than the other.

When I did reviews back in college, I had three - check it out, recommended for fans only, and skip it. Like, no matter how bad an album is, it's not like listening to a 2.0 is really going to be worth listening more than a 1.0.
