Just in time for the SXSW, get your pens and PDAs out, young and gifted, because here are new words to ban from all promotional and professional music writings in the 04 and beyond:
"is proof that"
"proves that"
auspicious
Like _______ on acid
garnering attention
most notably
throws down the gauntlet
atmospherics
____ bliss
lilting
sonic nightmare
sonic equivalent of
bombastic combination
classic combination of
pastiche
vividly etched
hearkens
to surprinsing effect
avoids the trappings
surprisingly ( WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME ANYTHING ON A RECORD TOUCHED OFF GENUINE SURPRISE?)
I like "lilting"! How else would you describe "Ignition (Remix)"? Or "Like Glue"? When you're dealing with a tight word count, sometimes you need to use some sort of ur-adjective to fill in for, like, the pages you could write about "Like Glue" ("you" meaning "me"). Can you suggest a replacement?
Quibbles aside, these lists are badass. You're on fire, don't stop.
Surprising? Hmm, Fiery Furnaces?
