i hate to sound like a know-it-all, but cryptograms is actually deerhunter's sophomore full-length. the debut is self-titled, but referred to by fans and the band as.. ahem.. turn it up, faggot.

My bad, Douglas. But I don't expect to ever recover my cred re: this band anyway, so...

it's cool, dude. i, of all people, know that deerhunter/atlas sound are both acquired tastes.

Don't sleep on Valet.

White Rainbow's gonna expand some minds, too.

I used to really respect Harvey Danger's clever lyrics, but for some reason, Sean Nelson bitter writings have kind of turned me off their music. It's almost like you can feel the bitterness of being a one-hit wonder coming off his stories.

But knowing those guys, I have a feeling there are probably entirely different reasons why he's so bitter.

Somebody should make Pavement release a new album so he can cheer up....

I get the impression Nelson's ego is about as big as his hair, he's clever but not nearly as clever as he thinks.
