Popless

I don't know if you guys ever found the A.V. Club, its linked on The Onion's homepage and so its like a little brother or something, but anyway its a really sweet site for music, movies, tv shows, video games, books, interviews, and really weird articles about beer thats supposed to taste like pizza. I really like it because they don't just do new stuff, they have a lot of articles about old music and movies and the writing tends to be concise and kind of funny. There is one weekly (Mondays) article I like a lot called 'Popless' where this seasoned music critic has cut himself off from new music for a whole year and he's going alphabetically through his archives and listening to, say Bread through the Byrds. So he says a little bit about a lot of bands, then goes through the singles of some bands he didn't talk about, and leaves a bunch out. The best part is that he's not a hipster at all, and doesn't really give a fuck what the criticism hegemony dictates. He's really cool and it gives me a little bit more grounding in the way everything ties together. So check it out. Oh yeah, don't read the comments, ever. They will destroy your brain.
