The Useless Critic 2.0

Hey baby. Yeah that's a 500 Days of Summer  picture. I hope you like it; I KNOW you do. Fun fact:  I also grew up on a misreading of The Graduate. Life is better that way. So here are 7 songs to encapsulate your favorite greeting card holiday after The Sweetest Day. you know you'll be getting some serious over-the-pants action, so I thought I should help you out and set the STELLAR MOOD. "First Love" - The Maccabees sure I've posted this before, but I don't get sick of it. it reminds me of how truly fleeting first love is, even though Cat Stevens says the same thing and in fewer words. And what the fuck is up with Orlando's voice? Whatever. "Maggie May"- Rod Stewart I had a Maggie May....but that wasn't her name. God, Maggie May is a name for a cow. See also:  Barry Manilow don't feel bad for him. he has more money than you and I ever will. "Roslyn"- Bon Iver & St. Vincent hesistation, blah blah b...

Okay, the version of this I'm listening to has someone screaming the url over everything OH MY GOD SHUT UP. Anyway, I am glad Bon Iver is embracing a second career as a blue-eyed soul singer. he's certainly got the voice for it. overall I like this, I'm just a little confused. B+

THIS is the Twilight follow-up New Moon soundtrack: Death Cab for Cutie – 'Meet Me On the Equinox' Band of Skulls – 'Friends' Thom Yorke – 'Hearing Damage' Lykke Li – 'Possibility' The Killers – 'A White Demon Love Song' Anya Marina – 'Satellite Heart' Muse – 'I Belong To You (New Moon Remix)' Bon Iver and St Vincent – 'Rosyln' Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – 'Done All Wrong' Hurricane Bells – 'Monsters' Sea Wolf - 'The Violet Hour' OK GO – 'Shooting The Moon' Grizzly Bear – 'Slow Life' Editors – 'No Sound But The Wind' Alexandre Desplat – 'New Moon (The Meadow)' WUT?? none of those bands suck! that makes no sense!' I'm a little thrown off by Lykke the most. oh Lykke. check her out here: she's so awesome! also, Zooey and Ben Gibbard wed this past weekend. :( sniff, sniff.
