My conclusions:

mogwai's new single sounds like mogwai

There's a lot of shit out there.

I want more Animal Collective.

I would go an watch Gogol Bordello live.

The Noisettes are interesting.

Music videos are 99% shite.

The Rifles - whoever the fuck they are - are one of the most mediocre bands I have ever heard. I've no idea why anyone would want to devote any time to their music. Whether to write/play and record it, perform it live, promote it, buy it, or listen to it.

The Rakes heard Franz Ferdinand and thought 'me too'.

Bands should be embarrassed at how good Smoosh are. Really. I know it's not cool to judge them on their age but seriously. they are still, between them, younger than I am and are sickenly talented. Much better things will surely follow for them but for now the fucking Rifles should take note of them and try and figure out what makes them so unfeasibly, totalitarianally better than them.

MTV still cannot go an hour without playing Foo Fighters.
