If you can find 10 clunkers per every gem on 69, please give me these lists, for they will be wrong, and I will mock you. Maybe you just want to be a provocateur by placing Spoon and Magnetic Fields on your overrated list. I'll go along with Arcade Fire and She & Him, however. I just wanted to vent about the soul-crushing experience of listening to TNV again, really. Also, I renewed my subscription in December and have one magazine to show for it. Are you moving to a semi-annual distribution model? Seriously……69 Love Songs is overrated but that unlistenable piece of dreck released by TNV is nowhere to be found?

And even if I usually write to disagree, I love you ladies and gentleman for being willing to actually HAVE an opinion. Peace out.

You should have posted "Sure Shot" or "Tilebreaker" and then tell me that Polvo were simply "reactionary." The song you posted, "My Kimono" is more interesting musically than the majority of hipster indie rock being produced today, and the song doesn't even have vocals.
