...Magnolia Electric Co., the latest from Songs: Ohia, is a paradigm of this musical tradition. The album will leave listeners confounded as to how songs that veer so close to self-parody (such as “Peoria Lunch Box Blues”) can be so utterly enjoyable.

From here, Teen Wolf basically follows the typical zero-to-hero storyline where the protagonist is eventually...

Having obsessively used the latter for some weeks, we decide to make a paradigm shift to the former. Realize that the traffic, the crisp fall weather, the car and us are all total bullshit...
