I deeply respect your choosing "Se a Vide é" (though I prefer Bilingual's other singles more) and their rendition of "Always On My Mind" is the best version of that song ever... but what is with you ppl and "Being Boring" as a top 5 PSB song?

Always on My Mind / In My House

Radiohead's The King Of Limbs released 15 years ago today. I remember exactly where I was where I first heard it, over the speakers at Crif Dogs on St. Marks Place, having an early lunch and lingering to hear as much of it as I could. I was mesmerized. I remain furious that it was poorly received.

It's lazy/easy to dismiss the role of the critic in the Internet age, but I for one will always appreciate the perpetual friction between artists and critics for the value their dynamic brings both to the art and the discourse surrounding it.
Critics are among an art form’s most passionate & dedicated audiences. So I regret to inform Margot Robbie that if she thinks about audiences at all while making movies, she’s thinking about us first & foremost whether she likes it or not & this isn’t the gotcha she thinks it is. Lol.
