6.0-6.9: Has its moments, but isn't strong
 
 A score of 6.X is hardly much of a recomendation.

I was referring more to this idiot's review, as well as his general condecension toward alt-country.

so you're making a sweeping generalization based on a sample size of 1....and you call yourself a statistician....

Unless of course it's from the French judge, at which point the Canucks will start belly-aching about it.

I really like that Willard Grant Conspiracy disk that he shat upon.
 
 "Being There," Wilco's last "alt-country" album only got a 6.8. I still think this is Wilco's best album.

Well I guess Franz Ferdinand is the new it band, MTV just had a news feature dedicated to them.  They said the band will be doing a full us tour starting in June.

They signed with Epic this week.  $2.7 million.

And they're apparently featured in Time this week:

 Damnit, I knew I should have jumped off the bandwagon last week.  At least none of y'all know me.

Well, I just returned from the Dupont Olsson's...apparently, they neglected to put a CD on hold for me.  :mad:  
 
 There was one CD on hold for another person and they had the "Darts of Pleasure" EP. After listening to the helpdesk staffer apologize, she put me down for a copy to be transferred from another store...so it may be in tomorrow.
 
 I just did a "reserve a copy" for Borders. If they have a copy in stock, I'm getting it there and someone can PM me for my last name to up the Olsson's copy.

You mean they sold 7 copies just this morning?!?!
 [Isn't that the store that was getting 8 copies in today?]
 
 Holy crap; they're not playing here any time soon, so I'm in no rush, but this is crazy....
 
 Which Borders?

Nellie McBalls.

Hey, I went to the in-store and bought her cd based on seeing an ad for her in-store in the City Paper, as well as a tip from someone on the Fulks Board.
 
    If I had known she was getting hype, I probably would have been contrary and avoided her ass.

Nellie McWeirdo... (just my opinion, the write ups on her are inexplicably positive...)

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

She's an excellent piano player, is clever with her wordplay, has a finger on the pulse of poular culture, a good jazzy singing voice, has cool, diverse influences, and according to Groudskeeper Willie, is totally fuckable. Plus, she's a bit sarcastic and snide. What's not to like?
