    2014 Music

    2013 is over, let's ring in 2014. This is a thread to discuss 2014's musical offerings. What releases are you looking forward to this year? Personally my most anticipated album has got to be St. Vincent's self-titled album, but I'm also looking forward to The Roots' & Then You Shoot Your Cousin...

    Doctor Who

    Everything was going reasonably well until the ending. Moffat's run as head writer has been defined by the way he continually writes himself into corners, but I think he finally ran out of corners to run to with this one. Without wanting to delve into spoiler territory, that ending was probably...

    "Touch" by Daft Punk is my favourite song of the year. "Beyond" by Daft Punk is my least favourite song of the year. I'll post my favourite albums when I'm done deciding (still gotta catch up on some shit first). Unless I am absolutely devastated by something I haven't listened to yet, which I...

    New Cut Copy = ok. I was one of the few people who absolutely loved Zonoscope, but Free Your Mind just sounds a bit samey and anonymous. Where are the hooks?! New Arcade Fire = yet another terrific album, though perhaps in a slightly different way from their others. By which I mean that I think...

    Yeezus = yet another pretty great Kanye album. Obviously haven't listened to it a huge number of times yet, but currently I'd only rank it behind Late Registration and MBDTF. Bound 2 is superb, lovely little throwback to the Late Registration days

    Pokémon XY General Discussion

    Am I the only one noticing that according to the chart, dragon isn't effective against anything? What's up with that? EDIT: Oh, dual types, ok, nvm

    It's Arrested Development

    I really don't think that Michael will have murdered Lucille 2, since that would take this show to entirely too dark a place. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if her disappearance is treated as a murder and that Michael is implicated. Also, given how heavily they placed suspicion on Michael...

    Doctor Who

    I don't think he has actually escaped from his own timeline yet; they certainly didn't show it onscreen. In fact, still being trapped in his own timeline might go some way to explaining how he'll be able to interact with David Tennant in the anniversary episode, which, in answer to your...

    I thought it was one of the weaker tracks on the album, personally. I dunno, I just felt like they didn't give Panda Bear much to do on the track besides repeating the same hanful of lines over and over. I have liked it more on repeated listens, though, so maybe it'll grow on me. Was anyone else...

    Doctor Who

    I was more bothered by the fact that the kid said he was a member of a chess club and then literally played the worst possible combination of moves there is. I feel like the latest episode really should have been a two parter. Like, all the ingredients of a terrific episode were there, it's...

    New JT is now streaming online: http://itunes.com/justintimberlake. Still only on Pusher Love Girl at the moment, but daaaaayum. The song lengths look like they might be very self-indulgent (70 minutes over 10 tracks, only two tracks run under 7 minutes), but I'm inclined to let that slide...

    I tried to get into Loveless twice and failed, but I enjoyed m b v very much. Maybe I'll have to re-revisit their earlier work...
