Black Kids - Wizard of Ahhhs

hehhhhh

oh skygreen leopards they will believe anything.

Jeff: Unfortunately, I'm not. Someone asked me that in the Pitchfork thread too - as I said there, I bought their CD a while ago and I've used their name as a log-in in everything since. I also like the band a whole lot. However, it can probably cause some confusion here on ILX. Might be changing the nickname soon.

these things are so weird to me, like everyone goes apeshit for some halfway decent/halfway shitty band and then all of a sudden they release a new album and it's like THE SCALES HAVE FALLEN FROM MY EYES....

new shit seems like kinda spanau ballet type shit...i dunno...i seriously don't know why like vampire weekend's week-ass shit is the best thing ever and this weak-ass shit is the worst ever...like just flip a fuckin' coin. i probably like this sort gay nu-romantic type vibe better than cod-african preppy "funk"....v

spanDAU ballet

Unfortunately, I'm not.

LOL

metacritic seems to have found the review unquantifiable.

Kinda into this, two songs in and it sounds like the last eight years of indie music didn't happen.

I met someone who actually read pitchfork once, it was weird. I thought he was kidding but he looked all sad when I giggled.
