Not only is this dude hilarious, he's almost always dead on too. This guy should be a head writer at Spin or Rolling Stone, he's the first music writer I've been excited about since Klosterman.

I don't think he sounds like a douche, I think he just has a style that might be described as 'irreverant', meaning, he won't suck up to all of your favorite bands, especially the ones that aren't that good. And c'mon, it's a gazillion times better than the average boring music journalism piece where the artist talks about how their 'sound is maturing' or 'how their next album will be their best one yet!'. Good for this dude for not being afraid to speak his mind.
