		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m just like the rest of you. I put my pants on one leg at a time. Only once my pants are on, I make amateur dubstep mixes.
I first heard dubstep a couple of years ago and largely wrote it off. A handful of kids in my community and some online colleagues swear by the stuff though. [...]]]></description>

What&#8217;s the best album of 2011? After tallying the votes, the venerable Smooth Harold announced today that the debate was &#8220;too close to call&#8221; and hereby awarded the honor to both Junk of the Heart by The Kooks and Hurry Up, We&#8217;re Dreaming by M83.
&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t name just one,&#8221; Harold said via satellite transmission, while vacationing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
The two-sided Hurry Up, We&#8217;re Dreaming by M83. 22 tracks. Catchy hooks. Soaring synthesizers. Big drums.
So far, Intro, Midnight City, Reunion, Claudia Lewis, This Bright Flash, OK Pal, and Steve Mc Queen are my favorite cuts.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

		<description><![CDATA[
Assuming his biography well represents him, Steve Jobs was a jerk for much of his life. A work-a-holic with eating disorders, incredibly bratty, ruthless.
I&#8217;m sure a lot of devout followers will excuse his actions with &#8220;no one is perfect.&#8221; I prefer that justification, however, for people who are at least trying to improve their social [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve listend to this album more than a dozen times after discovering it last week. Probably twice a day on average. Whole thing is good, from song 1-12. I&#8217;m not familiar with previous Kooks albums, but this is a gem—for certain to finish as a top 5 albums of the year.
