i cant find it anymore but there was a review of the jamie xx album that seriously docks it like 35 points out of 100 for an elaborate fantasy the author invents where he gets priced out of house shows by soccer moms

tiny mixtapes writes reviews like this like one line paragraphs with no punctuation and while on one hand, its not like i can throw shade about this particular writing method gently caress you dude, two thousand words of this is unreadable. it makes my eyes unfocus.

Trying to find new music by reading music reviews or checking "best of" lists is something that is really hard. For me, at least. It's basically slow motion NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE.
