reissues count*: the replacements--"can't hardly wait [echo chamber demo]"
in-studio awesomeness: jeremy messersmith--"love you to pieces"
better stipe-ocalypse: r.e.m.--"accelerate"

The two-word reviews are not inscrutable; rather, they are strangely perfect. I so get "loverlorn, still" for the Wedding Present and "danceable ghostedelia" for Cut Copy. And danceable ghostedelia should be a new subgenre on All Music Guide.
beach house--"gila"
wmcn: "narcoleptic haze"
p4k: "narco-haze"

spiritualized--"soul on fire"
wmcn: "fucking majestic"
p4k: "reinforces its majesty"

plagiarism, great minds thinking alike, or wmcn being light years (4 days) ahead of pitchfork?
