Rehearse The Weight

This video deserves to be seen by more than just 301 people.

If you like it, please consider it a thank-you present from your GQ tumblrers. We passed a milestone in followers here earlier this evening—we’ll keep the number to ourselves in the tumblr spirit of earth and people, but it did make those of us here feel feelings. So thanks, and seriously, watch the video. It’s an unexpectedly fantastic way to start a weekend.

Indeed! Some serious backstage music magic that we get to have a peek at with this video.

Metacritic is aggregating what the critics picked for the top albums of 2011. It’s unfortunate not to see Lisa Hannigan or The Decemberists up there. Apparently I’m not a suitable music critic.  Zoom

My Favourite Albums of the Last Decade

All the ‘albums of the decade’ lists came out two months ago and I’ve had the following list burning a hole on my desktop since late November.  I’m not sophisticated enough (nor self-aggrandizing enough) to suggest that this is some sort of definitive ‘BEST OF’ list.  Nope, just my personal faves. 

Wilco and Broken Social Scene are not on this list for some strange reason that I’m still coming to grips with, but their albums have collectively left enduring marks on my musical sensibilities.  (I’d have to say the same for the likes of Over the Rhine and Sufjan Stevens.)
