After Let England Shake, Ravedeath, 1972 might just be the second best album of the year thus far.

Kid A>OK Computer>In Rainbows>The Bends>Amnesiac>Hail To The Thief>Pablo Honey>The King Of Limbs I am SERIOUS.

Holy crap, this new Lucinda Williams album is awesome. Probably second best of the year after PJ Harvey. http://www.npr.org/2011/02/21/133840259/first-listen-lucinda-williams-blessed "Seeing Black" is amazing and might be the best song I've heard all year.

Didn't you read my Blake review, Arch? I've actually lowered my opinion to that of a B-.

We are soulmates. This album is a C+ or a B-. Not. Very good. At all. Let England Shake keeps getting better and better.

I don't really like dubstep, but Burial is obviously very good. Has anybody heard anything about him doing anything new?

BUT I DONT BLAME EM

They didn't, but the reason you're feeling that might be because "Need You Now" sounds like it might be a Taylor Swift song. My (dumb) roommate honestly thought they were doing a cover of one of her songs.

Go for the 320, in that case.

It's not about the fact that they won a huge honor or something, it's about the fact that they'll sell more records and more people will listen to their music. It's exciting and I'm really, really happy for my favorite still-working band. And The Suburbs was only my thirteenth favorite album...

I'm so profoundly happy for them. You guys have no idea. Maybe you do. I don't know. I'm so profoundly happy for them.

Marion Cotillard totally deserved one, and so did Andrew Garfield. Horrible snubs. Hailee Steinfeld is second most likely to win hers, and she might. The category she's nominated in is absolutely preposterous. Anyway, I've been fiddling with this, and here are the likelihoods of anything...

If I had to rank each film up in terms of how much I like it, it'd go. 1. Black Swan 2. Toy Story 3 3. The Social Network 4. Inception 5. Winter's Bone 6. True Grit 7. The King's Speech 8. The Kids Are All Right 9. The Fighter 10. 127 Hours All good films (although 127 Hours wasn't much of...

Black Swan will not win. While it has probably the fourth best chance, it will not win. True Grit barely has a chance. The Social Network has a chance. The King's Speech will probably win. That said, I'd adore, adore to see Black Swan winning.
