| John Fahey Vol. 4: The Great San Bernardino Birthday Party |
| There are several weak tracks on this album. Fahey betrays a rare moment of weakness in his experimentation with psychedelic studio tricks (reverse tracks, a very poor duet with a flute, etc.), but this is all redeemed by the title-track. "The Great San Bernardino Birthday Party" is one of the most haunting and gorgeous tracks ever recorded. |

| Animal Collective Merriweather Post Pavilion |
| AtavanHalen's hysterical celebration of the album's "yin-and-yang harmonies" and his obsequious praise of Animal Collective as "a group that is fearlessly eclectic and confrontingly experimental" must be viciously condemned. First of all, the group should not be congratulated for their "fearless eclecticism." They should rather be excoriated for their capriciousness. Secondly, AtavanHalen's excitement at these so-called "yin and yang" harmonies in Animal Collective's music can be seen as reflecting his own vapid eclecticism, since the yin and yang as a symbol of cosmic harmony is a typically dilettantish Western assimilation of an Eastern symbolism, thrilled by its exoticism. |

| I've never understood all the praise that surrounds this album. A very weak album, from start to finish. My opinion is, of course, partially influenced by the fact that I think that they're wholly unfit to borrow the name of their band from Stravinskii's immortal score. |

| Joan Baez (I Live) One Day at a Time |
| "I believe, in fact, that attempts to bring political protest together with 'popular music' -- that is, with entertainment music -- are for the following reason doomed from the start: The entire sphere of popular music, there even where it dresses itself up in a modernist guise, is to such a degree inseparable from the commodity character [Warencharakter], from consumption, from the cross-eyed transfixion with amusement, that attempts to outfit it with a new function remain entirely superficial. And I have to say that whenever somebody sets himself up, and for whatever reason accompanies maudlin music by singing something or other about Vietnam being unbearable -- I find, in fact, THIS SONG unbearable, in that by taking the horrendous and making it somehow consumable, it ends up wringing something like consumption-qualities out of it." - Adorno.
