"The thing that worries me about Lily Allen, even though I love that record, is that she’s just going to get too big." [Colin Meloy to Pitchfork]

Does it really matter how big she gets? Does major label success somehow destroy a band's music? Colin, I'm confused.

Oh boo-hoo.

Maybe he's not talking about big as in popularity but that she might go through a phase of obesity.

Hey Colin, don't think too hard about it. God forbid what's popular suddenly alligns with what's good. What a douche.

colin meloy is a fagat

I am confused too. Wasn't Mr. Meloy on the conver of the New York Times a few monts ago? And didn't he play a sold out show @ Lincoln Center (without his band)? And joining sellout Brendan Benson for an album?

STFU Meloy. Stick to making music and don't worry about what other people are doing. For God's sake! At least Lily's having fun. Ever try that?

P.S. "fagat"? No wonder the world thinks us Americans are morons. Pick up a dictionary pal.

yo people chill out. Did you read what Colin said? He said "There was a certain kind of scrappiness to the early videos and the early mixtapes that made them so nice." He's just stating the fact that big will lose the scrapiness which will lose some of the attraction.

"conver" I think the world hates our hypocrasy and our elitism more than our stupidity. But that didn't stop you from displaying all three in one little comment now did it? Bravo!

Yeah I read the whole thing. Still a pretty lame way to pay someone a compliment. I like facts, especially when their in the future tense.

To all of the BV-pundits and cyber-bigots. Your spelling betrays you - and don't think cute words like "bravo" and "douche" save you from revealing that your glib understanding of the world is unoriginal and spoon-fed. You are daft and four years of college does not save you from this label. And yes, I'm negative and equally self-loathing. But at least I spell the word "faggot" correctly. Bravo! Douche.
