Battles are unbelievable live and I would even go as far to say that the album doesn't give them justice. I don't know if I'd have the Mix-up anywhere in my top 50 though. Just wasn't that impressed.

I was listening to that El-P record the other day for the first time in ages- great stuff. Dense, dark, slightly incomprehensible- he's the Scott Walker of hip-hop... I don't really get the fuss about Dan Deacon, 'The Crystal Cat' aside, that record grated on my nerves. Anyway, for what it's worth... 1. The National- Boxer 2. Radiohead- In Rainbows 3. Burial- Untrue 4. LCD Soundsystem- Sound of Silver 5. Feist- The Reminder 6. Apparat- Walls 7. Battles- Mirrored 8. Caribou- Andorra 9. Andrew Bird- Armchair Apocrypha 10.Justice- + Most underrated- I thought the Chemical Brothers and Underworld put out great records despit the lack of acclaim, this truly is no country for old men...

The track you posted by Beirut from "The Flying Club Cup" album (and what an album it is, thank you Zach!) and listed as "The Penalty" is actually "Cliquot", thought you might like to know that. Season’s greetings to you and yours in Ireland from me and mine in Australia, however my birthday is on Christmas day, so i basically, viciously resent the holiday season to the core. The only good thing about Christmas i can think of is when, many years ago, "God" asked me if i would like to be the "Resurrection", i have to admit i did seriously consider this offer of employment, until i found out i was to be paid zilch, zero, nothing, nada! and (get this) at the age of 33, i had to sacrifice my life for all humanity!! Now, i have nothing against "all humanity", but i do not know "all humanity", so why would i want to save them? i mean i could be saving racist, sexist, homophobic, conservative, evangelistic, islamic fundamentalistic sons of bitches, and why the hell would i want to do that? So i graciously declined the "Lords" offer (i told "Him" to bugger off and leave me the fuck alone). You may be wondering if it was the right thing to reject "Gods" offer all those years ago. Let's put it this way, this Christmas day i will turn 39, that makes me 6 years older than "Jesus" when he died, i think i made the right decision, Cheers there.
