Yes, okay. I see the humor in Ray Suzuki's Jet review in Pitchfork, but let me tell you something: you have not experienced a gut buster album review until you pick up the Summer 05 HIOQI. The reviews in that pub are stupendous; I can read and re-read them until my eyes go blurry because it is like only the finest in hipster lit/biographical novel (a genre that if not invented by now, certainly should be, btw.)
