The Spicy Pumpkin's petty gripe of the day
Dear People on Tumblr:
Please.
Please.
Please.
PLEASE.
Stop with the music players that play your favorite song when I click on your page.
I, like most Internet surfers, am listening to my own music when browsing, so when I try to do the honorable thing and actually look at your actual Tumblr page (rather than just Dashboard scroll), more often than not your song is in turn playing over...

Dear Bon Iver, (and fans by extension)
I don’t get you. I just don’t. I just watched you perform on The Colbert Report with a massive bass saxophone playing a noisy, free jazz solo, something that is virtually guaranteed to get my interest locked in, and I still found it too sleepy.

The Irritating Myth of "Hipster Metal" →

So it's starting to get to that time of the year
The time of the year where every music media outlet gets a bad case of listmania and makes their annual “Best of the Year (so far)” lists, most of which are virtually interchangeable with one another.
