Am I surprised that you didn’t buy the acoustic version of “Silent Lucidity”?

And there was NO Iron Maiden on this list?

The only way the Avett Brothers could be worse is if they were called the Jon Lavett Brothers. Get it? Boom!–in your face!

Yes! The thinly veiled contempt and disgust for the musical tastes of others! And yet, still, the edifying back-and-forth of passionate music lovers! Like a car wreck, you can’t look away from the “pat critical assessments” of Voreblog!

I agree with Mr. Grit. This post is confounding. You gave up on the incredible Avett Brothers that easily? And do give a full listen to Bats for Lashes. It’s phenomenal as a complete album. Thom Yorke loves Ms. Khan, AND HE HATES EVERYTHING!!

And I’m sorry, I also enjoy Regina Spektor, but she can be too cutesy for her own good. My 15 year old cousin loves Regina Spektor. I know that’s a shite argument, but I think my point is still made.

I see another “Voreplay” post, I know it’s going to put me through the roof with its insane and pat critical assessments, and yet… still… I read on. I am getting stares in the cafe I now sit for all my flabbergasting. Why do I let you do this to me? Why do I let you get inside when I know all you do is hurt me? I’ve let you in, be careful!

Okay, first, to counter your Erin-Vore-induced aversion to the Avett Brothers, listen to “Second Gleam” and see them live. Ms. Vore’s influence is powerful, but their electric live performance is a worthy opponent.

Bats for Lashes is excellent, kicks both Regina and St. V’s butts (and both of thems is pretty rad). But you need to listen to her in the Kate Bush context. Know and love Hounds of Love, then listen to “Daniel.” Radiohead loves them.

Why haven’t you listened to the Antlers yet? And the new Sonic Youth and Japandroids and Here We Go Magic and the Thermals and the Bats? And you’re just getting around to Trail of Dead in 2009? What’s wrong with you? ACK! I’M FLABBERGASTING.

If the moon were made of cheese, wouldja eat it?

We would recommend Spektor over St. Vincent. We suspect others would not. We’ll allow them to argue their own case.

thoughts at 830 am (earliest ive woken in forever) from bev: agree with the “bat for lashes” song…i don’t get what the big deal is but hipsters here are batty for it. …just bought iron and wine yesterday and love it….. give the avetts another chance. …sam phillips is a quirk ball and one of my favorite performances ever to see was when she played at the belcourt few years back. I still remember one of her intro’s to a song: “this is for all you delusional torch bearers out there.” Lastly, i if i were to buy regina spektor or st vincent which should i buy. Also, if you were a hot dog, would ya eat yourself?
