The Moon & Antarctica

by Modest Mouse

This is far and away their best album, and it’s definitely my favorite.

A story about "magnet magazine"

magnet magazine

A little scene-y, but overall, relatively valuable. Interesting cover stories (Jeff Tweedy, Tom Waits, etc.) and solid reviews. Well done, Magnet hipsters.

Take It How You Want It

by Self Against City

100% emo; not my cup of tea.

A story about "We Can Breathe Under Alcohol"

We Can Breathe Under Alcohol

by An Angle

I’m on the fence about this one, but it seems better to be generous (worth consuming) than to display that hipster-chic cynicism. A note: the singer’s style and affect are strikingly similar to those of Conor Oberst.

A story about "Life Could Be a Dream"

Life Could Be a Dream

by Auntie Christ

I expected more from DJ Bonebrake and Exene Cervenka. Unlike John Doe (who was in X with the two), they’ve failed to break any new ground. I think I’m going to sell this one back. Ah well.

A School of Secret Dangers

by Amy Annelle

I listened to this record incessantly after my grandfather passed away. I’d lay in bed in my dorm room, noise cancelling headphones on, savoring “Will Try” most of all. I guess I won’t be able to separate out the worth of the art and its particular meaning to me for quite some time.

A story about "The Messerschmitt Pilot's Severed Hand"

The Messerschmitt Pilot's Severed Hand

by Thee Headcoats

This falls woefully short of the infectious Chatham punk of “Heavens to Murgatroyd Even.” Not Billy Childish at his best.

A story about "The Unbearable Lightness of Being: A Novel (Perennial Classics)"

The Unbearable Lightness of Being: A Novel (Perennial Classics)

by Milan Kundera

I’ve read this novel three times since my seventeenth birthday and it never ceases to amaze and engage me. Yes, a thesis for a novel! Yes, a plot offered up as evidence! I’ve feverishly read a good number of Kundera’s other works, but none of them rival this one. It’s a masterpiece.
