Yeah it's a fine album. It doesn't have anything as insanely catchy as Latch, but it's more consistent than the debut. My favorite tracks are the ones with Lorde and Lion Babe.

Anyone into For Against? Dreamy, Chameleons like post-punk, but it's a predecessor to bands like Ride and Lush?
This is TV related but fuck it, I want to vent.
The Wire. Most frustrating TV show ever. Half brilliant and half fucking awful. I've never seen a case in my life of something over-thinking itself so thoroughly.
Season 5 will have to be left to someone else. There is a great deal of recent discussion about it in the TV thread.
"Fucking horrible" is not how I would describe season 2 at all. It takes some time to get rolling and has a handful of useless characters (Ziggy ), but it has some very sympathetic ones too. The ending is also very strong. I'm glad I stuck with it. Part of the problem is that the plot is too convoluted and it takes three quarters of the season to get anywhere, but it does resolve itself satisfactorily.
Here's the specific thing irking me
Omar's death. What an utterly moronic and senseless way to take out an iconic character. The flippancy of it is astonishing. And I'm sure the writers were like "we're so iconoclastic to deny the show its big climactic showdown between Omar and Marlo," but all they end up doing is ridding themselves of the only compelling story point remaining in the whole damn show. I struggle to think of a more bullshit plot twist in anything I've ever seen.
Also fuck every last one of those longshoremen from season 2. And yeah I'll go to the TV thread now.
