Monz Lummy Yunch!
Music fans of the refined (i.e., snobbier) persuasion rejoiced yesterday upon the publishing of the Village Voice Pazz and Jop critics poll of the best music of 2005. We thought we'd get the Monz' thoughts on the top-10 CD's.
Kanye West: (hearty laughter) "I have a response so witty I can't formulate it in words. Man, it's your loss."
Sufjan Stevens: (laughter) -- "what an [effin'] maroon. [Music Editor: "As in Maroon Five?" Monz: "No, as in Bugs Bunny]
Sleater-Kinney: "Rawk! Woo!" (he likes)
Fiona Apple: "Hmm (positive tone), Ok!"
White Stripes: "Woo! Rawk!"
Antony and the Johnsons: (laughter -- "They named themselves after weiners!")
The Hold Steady: "Um. Sounds like a crappy indie band that some moron on pazz and jop would write down on a list to prove how hip he is. of course it's music the monz never hears, and my ears are toasting that with champagne."
New Pornographers: "Heard of them, good name, probably suck." [M.E.: "I've played them for you!" Monz: "Don't remember"]
My Morning Jacket: "Sometimes I like them, but I would never buytheir album."
and a bonus as we went down the list:
Bright Eyes: "OMG! He is the single worst artist I've haeard in the last five years. [detailed adjectives followed too fast to type]"
Monz then went back to his lunch of a chipolte ham and turkey sandwich w/ side salad from the CSC, with homebrought apple.

FWIW, the Editors' favorite CD of 2005 by far was The Go! Team's "Thunder, Lightning, Strike" (3/4 Spice Girls, 1/4 Sonic Youth) and want to kiss Ninja's ass. Fiona made our top-10, we liked the released version better than the Jon Brion.
And though it wasn't up to snuff, Big Star's "Love Revolution" deserves a mention for including "We Want a Platform" and "We Want --Some-- Platforms" in the same song.
