So good!

"And I know this cello player I can call to do some overdubs when I get back," continued Ruskin, later adding that he has already made the ill-advised decision to layer his own voice dozens of times on every track so that the album will reach its full potential as an incoherent, pompous mess that no one will be able to listen to for more than 30 seconds. "God, this thing is going to be just the absolute worst."

These are easily two of my favorite publications on the planet.

Every time something comes on my iPod and it's really terrible, it's invariably a cut from that "Pitchfork 500" compilation.

Also: I am now reminded of these two gems:

Haha, yeah. Serendipitously, The Onion just came out with their "Summer Music Issue" this week. It's mostly reprints of older music related articles, so I'm guessing they're taking the week off to ride the Cyclone or something.

Anyway, here's an oldie-but-goodie that popped up:
