« Ladybug Transistor at Daytrotter. Also talk about labels. Album Previews, 6/6/07-6/9/07 »

today’s haul

Only music from majors today. from Warner Brothers, The Cribs, “Men’s Needs” (single, album version); from Astralwerks, The Little Ones’ Lovers Who Uncover (twice–once addressed to James Yeary, who was MD 9/03-5/04, and once addressed to Bennett, who was MD in 2002); from Universal, Straylight Run’s The Needles the Space; from Capitol, Yellowcard’s Light Up the Sky (ugh, did I just say I liked Capitol earlier today?); from EMI/Astralwerks, The Aliens’ Astronomy for Dogs (featuring a former Beta Bandman, apparently).

I don’t feel at all qualified to review music like Yellowcard’s fairly. I’m also suspicious of anyone who would like a band like Yellowcard, because clearly they don’t have any taste. That’s what’s called a catch-22.

    Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one.

    Just because you can’t fathom why anyone would listen to something, doesn’t mean people who listen to it have no taste. I don’t even like Yellowcard, or know who they are. As music director of KUOI, your job is expose as much music as possible, not critique it and the taste of those who listen to it.

    For instance, I could bring up that terrible Brazilian album preview you selected last weekend. Just because I thought it was absolutely horrendous doesn’t mean you have no taste.

    Of course. That’s an issue I have to deal with. In fact I’m going to go ahead and write a post right now about it.
