Reactions of catharsis that immobilize and make you sweat cold. After listening to Jane Doe, I realized I had to flush about 80% of the stuff with the screams I used to listen to down the toilet. more
Mediocre and boring you will be. The group that has interpreted the demands of the post-modern era more than any other in the wake of contemporary needs; reaching the masses was a matter of contingency that did not in the least undermine their significance. Releasing "Amnesiac" after "Kid A" is nothing short of miraculous. more
A microcosm of its own that has always orbited around my testicular apparatus. They also boast one of the saddest descending arcs ever... more
The pop rib of 90s alternative; glam incursions and electronics do the rest. Shirley Manson, my unconditional platonic love from adolescence. more

When I think of a FUNDAMENTAL band in the strictest sense of the term, they are the first that comes to mind. In On The Kill Taker, End Hits, and Red Medicine, my top 3 in this order. more
Who the hell is Gilmour? more
"There is no sweeter music than your cries. With every phrase, a sudden, disorienting move." more
Expendable but honest. Live are a titanium ball attached to the scrotal sack, while on disc they are quite nice. "Monsters and Normals" is the best. more
essential - how many adjectives come to mind to describe her (surely all superfluous)... more
"Turn On The Bright Lights," and there was light. For the rest, honest indie rock tradesmen. more
I think my name is safest in your mouth. more
Chilling and funereal pleasures that I have learned to know over time, as they yield gracefully to the robotic chant of Closer. Forgive us, Ian, for everything... more
The day I lost my innocence. more
