i still hate progressive rock. stuff i really learned to hate this year though was sufjan stevens (a voice like joni mitchell, "chamber pop" only works for belle and sebastian, never will complete "50 states" or be as prolific as robert pollard), the raconteurs (three good songs does not make for a good album, huge dissapointment), pitchfork, spin, anyhing mike mazella likes alot, swan lake, wolf parade, hardcore, metalcore, metal, most screaming, and rolling stone. stuff i learned to love include popular hip hop, italian girl, slate magazine, regina spektor's begin to hope, and the hold steady. more later.
