yo-conozco: this album came out 10 years ago today and there are millions of succinct and not-so succinct things i could say about it. it’s my favorite album of all time, not the best album i’ve ever listened to by any means, but i was 12 when it came out and it made me feel things and goddamn, i got lyrics from the album tattooed on me and it’s probably one of the least regrettable things i’ve done in my adult life. every word just sounded beautiful and different and emotional, and struck me in a different way than YFW did and i don’t know man, i just remember buying it from border’s and listening to it in my sony discman on my living room floor with the lyric booklet reading every line and closing my eyes and i think if this album came out today i wouldn’t feel nearly the same. sure, i’d sing along to some songs in the car and i’d feel sentimental about play crack the sky, but 2003 was a weird time (middle school, man) and 2013 is an even weirder time but all i can say is that i fall into this deja entendu k-hole every so often, still, and it still makes me feel things. I had this multi-paragraph diatribe typed out about this record turning 10, but my words will never do justice to what this album is to me. Simply, this album single-handedly kept me creating and making music.  It kept the embers of creativity and passion long-burning into what I am doing to this very minute.   So.  Thank you, Brand New.   Thank you.

Phoenix - Bankrupt!

 

I just acquired this record and I’m literally unable to listen to it. I’ve always given modern mastering techniques the benefit of the doubt and don’t buy the whole conspiracy of the “loudness war” but there is something about this record that is positively LOUD. And not in that “They’ve got more edge to them” sort of way, but more of “let’s red line these tracks so they sound good on a laptop” sort of way.

Forever, I’ve defended the mastering and sound of the Arctic Monkey’s “Favourite Worst Nightmare” and thought it to be quite enjoyable. But Bankrupt takes it to the next level of loud. 

The only way I can put it into terms even I can understand (as I’m not a person who often masters multi-platinum records) is that my ears can’t find a place to settle and listen to the song itself. I find myself getting literal fatigue attempting to listen to the song, let alone enjoy it.

Hotel Ad Promises Guests Piles of Snuggling Bunnies in Every Room

This is a commercial for…a hotel? I think? Bah, who even cares? Look at all the bunnies cuddling and sniffing the air warily, as if some voracious predator is going to leap out from under the covers and throttle them all to death. Stupid, adorable bunnies! Adweek speculates that the commercial maestros behind this ad for Ibis Hotels turned the air conditioning in the hotel down really low so that the bunnies would be forced to cuddle, and though that initially sounds a little manipulative from a bunny’s perspective, we should remember that bunnies don’t really have a perspective on anything except reproducing at an insanely high rate and being adorable.

I.
