What Community? #86: SFJ lives in a fishtown

I've tried to like SFJ, I have. And, to be fair, not liking him gets me nowhere. So most of the time I ignore the guy. But then some days I happen upon something that makes me intrigued again and I look around at more of his stuff. And then his ugly side rears its head again. As with this post on his New Yorker blog. I mean, congrats, guy, you've been employed for five years by one of the most prestigious culture mags in the biz. But, and here you're right, MP, I just don't like jerks. And it's rare that SFJ comes off as humble. Maybe that's why I'm where I'm at and he's where he's at... it is a game after all. --RWK

Songs #34: Muh gurhs / social STATS

So this new Animal Collective album is pretty great, right? I finally listened to it all the way through on my headphones and, yes, I feel its groove. Some kind of post-BrianWilson slash synthsyrup mess. It's a mess. But it's fun. Also, there's already been some great remixes of that standout song "My Girls" which I've poached for us here...

— original version [direct link via rooftop fist fights]

— Gigamesh "proper house" remix [direct link via pretty much AMAZING]

— HATCHMATIK disco bootleg mix [mediafire via discobelle]

[pic is a found fact from last weekend; sure to happen again tonite, only better dressed and more populated by pretty peoples]
