Yea go ahead and add it, we actually did this song for the tribute, but we thought we were too late to submit it.

Some people will never get over the "the original vs. cover" mentality. And they are idiots. A song is a song and even if you didn't write it, it can become yours. Fuck you don't even have to cover a song for it to become yours. You can jst listen to a song and be like, "This song is mine."

I just noticed he used "it's" when he meant "its." I want to amass a collection of quotes of people saying negative things about Tinyfolk's music with typos and/or grammatical errors in every quote.

Actually, the one I took was "It’s almost mesmerizing in it’s awfulness. Also, it’s funny."

"A cross between John Darnielle and David Cross put through a filter of Nintendo sounds" -

That's a golden press quote if there ever was one.

I disagree with his take pretty much across the board, but I still like the review, if only because i got a nice quote from it to put on the Tinyfolk myspace.

Eep! I guess i expected some criticism and not total praise all-around. Taken aback by it, but still grateful for the write-up. I shudder at what he would've wrote about all 21 tracks :)

Claudia now has a copy of this thanks to Michael and/or Emma, their managers/tour buddies. More after the Mag Fields-charged weekend has concluded.

I read a lot of them, actually. I just don't like them. Except Cocaine Blunts is pretty awesome, but that's a hip hop blog.

For a second Russ, I thought you were talking about the covers on this tribute haha, until I finished reading.

As for music blogs, for writing so much on mine, I never really read anyone else...well that isn't true, but I don't know what the hip blogs are or anything. Or any juicy blog gossip.

cept: Pitchfork has diabetes.

I honestly don't like the majority of them. Not to be a hater or anything. My favorites are the ones that write about people I know, namely Foggy Ruins of Time and sometimes RetroLowFi.

I like Stereogum way more than Pitchfork these days. There are so many great music blogs out there that it's overwhelming.

You mean Stereogum. Pitchfork is SOOOOO 2005.

p.s. jay kay, james eric! I don't read either!

I love The Culture of Me, and any other music blog that says good things about this. Next up: Pitchfork :)

I can still upload stuff to it, I'm pretty sure. Also, I hadn't deleted all the old tracks, just made them so they didn't display. Now it's just the ones you see, so there should be plenty of room, if there indeed are any limits.
