I'm long time (long suffering) Moz fan since I bought Interesting Drug on cassingle when it came out on a lark. Then dug into the Smiths and his solo catalog. Saw him twice live, both in Houtson, one for the Kill Uncle tour, one for the Arsenal tour. My fandom waned at various points. Kill Uncle was...

my EC tastes run poles apart usually from lifelong fans. that said, I can't can't can't can't can't CAN'T believe all the love for 15 Petals. It's like Ricky Martin, but shitty(er).

I have to concur with Sufjan's John Wayne Gacy. I haven't thought about a song so much since Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Aeroplane (the entire CD). It's kind of a chicken or the egg argument, but at times it makes me sad that such a monster results in such a beautiful song. Gacy doesn't deserve it. ...

I actually quite liked them through the 2d album. They understood the power of a great b side, and even though they were ripoffs, it's like The Strokes first album - sometimes good ripoffs do the job well. But then they got huge and ridiculous. But I remember hearing those b sides that Noel would si...
