Your writing is easily accessible, not convoluted or mumbly or high fluting (maybe not the correct word, but ya know what I mean).

Here’s one band “reunion” from 2009 with someone you know quite well (and to whom the rest of his mates admire and respect, and of course, miss dearly; I hope you will appreciate this in the good spirit I send to you:

To continue in the same spirit, let me announce the “Best of ‘We’re Always Right’”:

Best Absolutely Everything: Japandroids – self-titled

The No Age record of the year, which means it rocked really hard with two people. It’s loud and boisterous, has some great anthems, and is possessed with a fatalism in the songwriting that matches the intensity of the guitars, grabbing you and making you believe, Yes, who gives a fuck, because I’m in love with you tonight. You might also be thinking, Jeez, this record is a lot of romantic bullshit. Well, I am a romantic. I think it is the best record I heard all year, and there is not a song I disliked. It’s not better than Nouns, but who cares? I had 97 chances to see them in New York and didn’t go.

Again, this is really great writing; it reminds me of a certain SPIN author I imagine you’re familiar with.
