Anyway, after skimming through the posts, here are a few things I'd like to say:
Pitchfork Media sucks. Seriously.
Get a job and stop stealing Beatles records.
Travis are damnably boring.
Posting IM conversations is just . . . wrong.
Pyramid Song is not in 9/8. No, it's not.
Bones, meh, the Peter Pan bit is decent.
Oh, and here's something not related to the mountains of posts:
Today I watched an interview with Thom, one of the things he mentioned was
that Radiohead were offered the Fight Club soundtrack and should've accepted,
but didn't. Was interesting.

normally i'd fight you to the ends of the earth defending them, citing many examples
of how they're the best bunch of reviewers around, but since they gave vespertine a
measley 7.6 or so, i see no point in defending them.
therefore, i'll agree.

...well come to think of it I think I prefer the Dust Brothers soundtrack...
prefer it to the non-existent radiohead soundtrack?
bah as much as i love the band, i can't hear that.. radiohead doing the
fight club soundtrack
dust brothers' beats were perfect.. the sounds of pure testosterone ..
i heard thom say in an interview that if there was one movie he wanted to do
a soundtrack for it would be terry gilliam's brazil
now *that* would have been a perfect match..

Okay, so I've never actually stolen a Beatles record. I was thinking the

I wrote that. I forget why, but I think it was because of the background
sounds, or drum machine, or your vocals, or all 3 that reminded me of Lost
Highway Soundtrack-->on Pumpkins aesthetic.
If that didn't make sense at all, then just know that it was a compliment.

Sure, cheese sauce? the plots of most TV shows? It's all cheesy.
