Interesting stuff and, as perverse as it may sound, the reviewer may have a point about it being his best since The River. As great as Nebraska is, it's not an album I can listen to at will. Like most of his stuff up to and including The River, Magic has much more of that 'any-occasion' vibe. ED: In full agreement about Livin' in the Future by the way. |

I thought that was a 2006 release. Otherwise it definitely would have made my highlights list.

fuck i forgot jesu
the new liars was fuckin pussy, literally, they made two extremly far out records and in all honesty i thought they were on some next level shit, totally different than any other "indie" bands, and yes i know they change thier sound up, but its not very brave to go to near unlistenable noise, to weird ambient chanting shit, to straight up rock songs, fuck that. i still have faith in them tho. |

Additions to my lists:
Between OK and great: Neil Young - Chrome dreams II OK: Sigur Rós - Hvarf / Heim (the DVD is surely much more interesting) I haven't heard the new Bowie but apparently it sucks. |

I don't think I listed rhys chatham "A criminal grail"; that did come out in 2007 right? If so, make that the best record of the year.
Seriously, everyone here go listen to Toddle. Every part of every song is a hook! And yes.. Wire - Read and Burn 3 is out, and it's cool. |

The read and burn eps are good enough, but i dont think ive ever obsessivley listened to any of them. Not like i still obsessivley listen to Pink Flag and 154.

I'm listening to Read & Burn 3 and I'm feeling kind of disappointed. Even using Send as a reference point instead of their early stuff I'm disappointed. I'm not fond of the way it is mixed. It doesn't grip me the way that their other stuff does.
