Although I haven't used it yet, I love having the comments turned on for all the articles. It's a cool feature (that hopefully doesn't backfire when bad reviews are posted!).

Oh we won't call that backfiring... we'll call that an imaginary group discussion!

Bring it.

I love the comments. I want people to post as many comments or questions as they can (again, my desperate plea for a mailbag).

People, EMAIL ERIK!!!!! He's really nice and he will write you back!

I was NOT pissed about the Sun Kil Moon panning. Why? Because I ripped it and IT FUCKING SUCKED.

This from a life-long Red House Painters fan...

Go Joe Go! Testify!!

i totally and completely relate to EVERY SINGLE WORD of Love Is Hard...

Jordan, wait till you see the Love is Hard that posts tomorrow. I think Rach has outdone herself, seriously.

dana may have been thinking of me in regards to the sun kil moon review. i had some pretty harsh words for it at the time. it's not that great, but deserved better than uninformed cheap shots.

Cheap shots, yes. But this is music journalism. And I stand by my ranking if for no reason but that I had forgotten the album existed until the day this posting went up.

How were the cheap shots uninformed, though? I'm not trying to be hostile or anything, I'm just curious. Obviously I'm not a diehard fan so I don't know them that well, as can be any fans argument against a panning review, but I listen to everything I review at least three times start-finish before making notes to write about it and I've been a Kozelek fan for awhile. If the record deserves a better score, it's not because it was better than i said it was, it was just that I let my disappointment get in teh way.
