heard i was killin' shit, they musta got word

Sometimes, music journalism is actually good enough to warm the cockles.

First, it must be said that The Pretty Tony Album and Madvillainy are pretty much unfuckwithable. I've got thoughts-a-plenty about Tony Starks and Doom/'lib, mostly your typical fanboy "Holy shit, holy shit" type stuff, but it felt oh so good to see SFJ and Dougie Passion come correct on each of these albums. May seem like bad faith to kick off a new bloggo by immediately linking someone else's thoughts, but hey. If it's done right, it's done right.

hot doorknobs said...: Yo, Tortoise IS boring. I heard a SFJ song that was fucking rad, but don't ask me what it was called.

I see where this is going, though. It's cool man, professional haters welcome...; 5/15/2004 04:09:00 PM
