Sometimes they're right.

Those dorks on treadmills have nothing on the Bat for Lashes chick.

I didn't want to like it, but the Bat for Lashes album pretty much rules. I still don't get Feist, Klaxons, post-real-song Radiohead, Wombats, Animal Collective, Rufus Wainwright, Nelly McKay, Iron & Wine, !!!, and Deerhoof; just to name a few. It was necessary to say that to prove that I'm not receiving 7.2 million dollars from record moguls to plug Bat for Lashes' "Fur and Gold", thusly starting a whole new payola scandal that could threaten the record industry as we know it.

My only criticism: Bat for Lashes?!?!?!? Of all the band names... I wish we could go back to the days when band names meant something, like the Dead Milkmen or the Hoodoo Gurus or Sandy Duncans Eye or Duran Duran or the Geto Boys. Now those are some names that really make you think and bring some power to the music they are creating.
