The songs are removed and all that but honestly, I assume you can't be naive enough to think you are helping. I am starting a record label myself and I would rather fuck an angry tiger in the ear than employ your utterly pointless services. Thanks for popping by though, and I'll be sure to tell the 21st Century hello, so it will welcome you when you eventually get here. Everyone else, I agree with you, except Wendy. Dull live? Are you joking? I saw them play at the Corn Exchange here a couple of years ago and they were sensational. I almost added it as a corollary to my review that I bet they are still great live so even if you don't buy the album, go and see the show. Mind you I've had some wildly varying reports of how they play so maybe you just got them on a bad day, but I was really impressed, myself. Dear Web Sherriff, you make me sad.

It's a music review show from Chicago Public Radio. Look for it. It features Greg Kot and Jim DeRogatis of the Sun Times and Tribune. Might be the best rock music show I have ever heard and they seem to be on the same page with you all the time. Matthew, have you ever heard of “Sound Opinions”?

I like the Jack White stuff and dislike the Brendan Benson material. Sigh. I guess I'll give this a spin eventually, but I'm not gonna buy it first.

After the release of Broken Boy Soldiers, I managed to catch them on their first tour—a small theater in Ann Arbor, Michigan—near their home turf of Detroit (before they high-tailed it to Nashville). I LOVE White Stripes, I like Brendon Benson...however, this band pretty much bores me to tears. Steady as She Goes (album version) is an OK tune, but they were just plain DULL live. I haven't listened to the new album yet. I want to love this band, really I do.

I guess I should stop procrastinating and actually review them, huh? Well, thanks for reviewing pretty much every album I had in my queue in like two days.
