I wholeheartedly second the awesomeness of this review...granted, the only Pixies album I've ever heard is Doolittle, which I bought because the song Debaser is referenced in the liner notes on a Pig Destroyer cd, but still...the review brings teh lol....

PS: The "month in techno" column is excellent.

The thing I like about those "month in..." columns is they're written by external writers who come in and know their shit, not just some indie fans who are dabbling or whatever.
People like Philip Sherburne, who does the techno one, and Dave Stelfox (who does the dancehall one) are reeeeally well regarded writers who write for all kinds of decent print magazines, including Britain's über-nerdy Wire mag.
If you have an interest in techno but want to dodge Pitchfork for whatever reason I'd totally recommend Sherburne's blog. Actually and Tim Finney's, mentioned above. He's got a much more pop-centred take on what's essentially some pretty inaccessible and fucked up music. Actually that's probably more offputting for most rock fans... Whatever.
jeph:
I love Sherburne's taste and writing. He's actually in a book written by my two favorite music professors from back in college (Dan Warner and Christoph Cox). I will have to bookmark that blog of his, it may be the one music blog I can read without wanting to burn the internet down.
PS Tommy you cannot get the last word when I can lock threads and you cannot.

I rate your sarcasm a fish out of six possible kinds of sea life.
