07w37:4 The Mediocrity of Music Posted September 12th, 2007 by timothy. 0 Comments Goodreads | 2007 week 37 number 4 (The Mediocrity of Music) Pitchfork Gives Music 6.8 | The Onion Link “Coming in at an exhausting 7,000 years long, music is weighed down by a few too many mid- tempo tunes, most notably ‘Liebestraume No. 3 in A flat’ by Franz Liszt and ‘Closing Time’ by ’90s alt-rock group Semisonic,” Schreiber wrote. “In the end, though music can be brilliant at times, the whole medium comes off as derivative of Pavement.”
