Review of 'Love Era/ Irony'.
The new hardest working man in show business.
"It always seemed to be the easy part, putting together two sections with four bars each and a catchy melody. Yeah, that's the easy part. Getting it to work the right way has always seemed been the hard part."
"You're totally on this one-man crusade, and I appreciate this on many levels, to rescue the Grateful Dead. To prove they were punks."
Editor-in-Chief Ryan Schreiber averages a 7.36

John Vanderslice: Top CDRs Given to Me at Shows [Pitchfork]
Surprised to see no Architecture in Helsinki, who were touted by PFork earlier this year (8.8 in May). Weirdly, they were, however, name-dropped in two of the other reviews (Antony and the Johnsons, The Boy Least Likely To).
Willie Nelson: "Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other)"
"Dan Bejar's vocals are, like many of his indie contemporaries, yelpy and dramatic, and many of his lyrics seem preordained to serve as mp3 blog headers."
