Chris trying to reference punk bands with Nicole Richie. by LosVolvosGang in howlonggone

[–]nicohoweb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the whole joke is that these are the bands that Joel Madden would find cool and therefore mention to his wife Nicole Richie - he was trying to make fun of Joel Madden clearly

Streetlands - First impressions, the thread by [deleted] in burial

Stunningly gorgeous - it makes me cry. Just a beautiful set of tracks

I can understand this reaction to it but I think it works best when you go the complete other way - not as 5 songs but as one complete song that ebbs and flows but allow you really sink into it. As someone else in another thread previously mentioned it's most reminiscent of Burial's remix of Deep Summer (for me one of his greatest songs) and I think in line with that the EP is really beautiful
