god bless those idiots at pitchfork. yesterday they called erykah badu's billboard top 10 reaching album on of the "best OVERLOOKED albums of the year" (my caps).

wow

[godsshoeshine]

picture of two pugs is the best review theyve done ever

[Relaxer]

Not quite as good as the monkey drinking his own piss, i.e. the infamous Jet review.

[azaghal1981]

That was the pinnacle. They should've just closed up shop review-wise after that and went out on the highest note possible.

Since we're on the topic, I just have to vent about band names for a second. I'm so fucking sick of bands that insist on using the words "wolf", "black", "kids" or "deer" in their names. It's old. Be creative. You can do it.
 
 And yes, I'm talking about the following:
 
 Wolf Parade
 Wolfmother
 Wolf Eyes
 Scary Kids Scaring Kids
 Cold War Kids
 The Cool Kids
 The Black Kids
 The Black Angels
 The Black Keys
 The Black Lips
 
 I'm sure there are more.

if you would rather watch a monkey drinking his own piss than look at pugs, i suppose so

You can add using the word fuck to that list...

the Black Kids cd was rated high in Urb and Blender.  
 My only complaint with them was they were kind of underwhelming live.  I am going to give them another chance though, they do have really catchy songs.

[sweetcell]

suggestion for a can't-fail band name:
 
 "the blackwolf deerkids"
 
 instant hipster cred, before a single note is played.  forming the above band would require a french horn player.
