I hate music festivals because I love music, and I mean properly love music. Real love is unhealthy, obsessive, consuming. I am outside Music’s house in defiance of a restraining order. I am frightening off Music’s new boyfriend. I am holding Music’s pets to ransom until Music agrees to return my calls.

The anger on this album feels pretty real and palpable to me.

While Pitchfork may be invaluable as an archive, it is worse than useless as a forum for insight and argument

This is influence, not plagiarism: ridiculous to claim otherwise.

I’m not a huge fan of Tuneyards, but I think this article is a massive pile of shit. No maybes about it.

There’s melody and pace, and the sort of vicarious thrill that used to be had from boy rock all those years back

And it was mostly pop. Girls making pop. Very few of the bands I loved this year consisted of four white boys with guitars, although that template has been responsible for some fairly monumental things over the last four or five decades.

Sex, drugs, more sex, more drugs, each song details another night of Bacchanalian excess with no redemption in sight. Are you ready to party?
