"don't touch jimmy! HANDS OFF JIMMY!"

[quote="DHRjericho"]I like Klosterman and i like SPIN. SPIN is a cheap magazine that i find entertaining. I take everything in it with a grain of salt but it does provide me with entertainment.

I could care what anyone thinks about that.

I also read DIW, Big Takeover, Magnet and ESPN the mag for entertainment.

i gave up on SPIN t his year, even though it's like 35 cnets an issue on some subscription plans. it's just a big pile of dung. But i still get Rolling Stone and love it, so i will never judge anyone.

Jimmy's gonna get you Kramer.

Y'know, I was one of the few who placed Youth And Young Manhood on his end of the year Top 20 list, and I always thought (and still think) the dismissal of that album was an unfair reaction to NME hype as well as a mostly imagined oversaturation of the Strokes. So when the same people who hadn't given their debut a chance started praising the new album, I knew it'd be best to approach it with cautious expectations. But even still, I was not prepared for my absolute and total dislike of Aha Shake Heartbreak. I played it for a couple days straight in an attempt to find the same band I had liked, but eventually had to sell the fugger before it ruined my appreciation of YAYM.

That's not the first time I've heard this; A friend of mine did the same thing, big fan of YAYM, but could not stand ASH. I honestly enjoy them both equally, but it took me awhile to get it, but once I did I'm glad I gave it a chance. 'Soft' and 'King of the Rodeo' are great.

You sir are an enigma to me at times. I don't think it's as strong as YAYM but certainly not "sell back unworthy" IMO.

Another reason I"m finding it hard to make a mix for you.

<---still hasn't heard Aha Shake.

Now you got me scared to Rads, I too really enjoy YAYM. Damn

You must make this a priority.

Naw, I'm pretty consistent. Just ask Chase.

maybe.

some of those selections, like courtney, *come* *on*

I ask again, has anyone heard this album? It is pretty 'great'.

well, it made me want to finally watch 25th hour, but other that that...kinda lost me including Secret Machines, etc.

but is he a good writer? for sure.

KPH

i heard 2 songs -- the lead single and another. they were ok, but didn't inspire me to buy it or even download it.

Fair enough. I thought it got ripped unfairly, just because. It's worth a listen.

friend of mine said it was about as good as the corgan-influenced hole album, which is means i'd probably like it, but with so much music to choose from, i figure i'd rather listen to something else.

would you rate it in a top 21 of 01-04?

Some are born to greatness, others have greatness thrust into them.

Tough call.... if she did make it on the list, it would probably be 20 or 21. It's worth a look actually. Once my work settles down, I think I'll do this for fun and see where it lands.

i'm going to use this photo to scare my kids straight in 10 years.

See, this isn't his Top 21 of the 2000's; Its just 21 Albums. Read the intro here folks and don't be so ob-sessed with lists.

(not a crack on you paladisiac, i just used your quote to make a point)

Onward Christian soldiers.
