it's mainly NME's fault. i hate the british press because its main over-inflated rag of a mag pumps up absolutely anyone with a glimmer of hope as the next big thing.

take an album i like. if they see a populist appeal to it, it gets a smattering of praise and vocabulary that tempts us to think it's the second coming. if not, then it invariably has some good qualities but for some ass-end reason "falls flat"

:/

the new tv on the radio disc is a three track should-be-a-friggin-promo-or-itunes-feature disc. there's "new health rock" and "modern romance" both great new tracks, and for some arbitrary reason a re-presentation of "the wrong way"
