I Hate You! / I'm Drunk! Discographies Is Funny! And Alarming.

Although its existence threatens the livelihood of every music writer, the Discographies Twitter feed is pretty damn funny, rendering us music critics useless 140 characters at a time. Who needs in-depth, prattling, wordy record reviews when you've got all the info you need boiled down to the bare essentials? Some more of our favorites:
Nine Inch Nails: 1 angry; 2 angry & miserable; 3 angry & monotonous; 4 angry & sober; 5 angry & paranoid; 6 not-so-angry & ambient; 7 angry.
David Bowie: 1 the boy who... ; 2-10,14 kooks/spacemen/creeps; 11-13,21 Eno!; 15-19 big hits->bad hair->sad band; 20,22-25 ...fell to earth.
The Who: 1 mods; 2,3 modular; 4 overrated; 5 overplayed; 6 "remember mods?"; 7,8 drunken sods; 9,10 tiresome clods; 11 okay, against odds.
Neil Young: 1 shak(e)y; 2+3 yin/yang of entire career; 4 the hit; 5-7, 14 fucked-up genius; 8-13,20-33 yin/yang variations; 15-19 the ditch.
(Young's 14th album is Trans—I had to look it up. An audacious claim, sure, but I can't say I disagree.)

More here! Guess I'd better brush up that resume.
