Best: Dan Deacon’s Bromst, Dinosaur Jr’s Farm, and Flaming Lip’s Embryonic

Worst: Jay Reatard’s Watch Me Fall (Really selling out on the Rape Face) and seconding Ray Ray on the Atlas Sound cover

Pains of Being Pure at Heart was one of my favorites coming in as well. It made the second cut, but faltered on the pommel horse and started hitting the sauce pretty bad. Sad stuff really.

I really like the aesthetic in all the Pains of Being Pure at Hearts album and seven inches. Two colors. Thats it. I digs.

Cheers Ray, I saw people raving about that Soundtrack of Our Lives cover. I’m thinking it has to be sarcasm. It looks like an ED ad, but maybe that was the point. I second that about Atlas Sound, nobody really wants to see Bradford Cox without a shirt on.
