Generic Spring Break Post #5

Pitchfork Media is pretty funny:

Keely complained that music lovers consume songs without actually listening to them. He claimed we reduce albums to genre, and artists to their influences, uninterested in finding a song's meaning and unwilling to appreciate their unique human nuances. One such manifesto came packaged with promo copies of Worlds Apart, in fact, as if Keely could convince us to ignore the fact that "The Summer of '91" sounds like the Counting Crows, "Let It Drive" sounds like the Gin Blossoms, "The Rest Will Follow" sounds like Bright Eyes, "All White" sounds like Ziggy Stardust-era Bowie, and the verse melody of "Caterwaul" is the band's most soluble MBV-meets-Sonic Youth rip yet. Much of Worlds Apart plays like a boring mid-90s alt-rock radio mixtape--so why sit through this shit just to get the band's "jokes"?

I just noticed that this is the third post this spring break that makes reference to My Bloody Valentine (see posts #4 and #2). My bad. I swear I'm listening to more than just obscure indie music from the 90's. [nods head to Pavement's Wowee Zowee, r. 1995]
