I am not too impressed by Fleet Foxes either, come to think of it. What do they do that MMJ has not done better?

"Compared to What" by Les McCann is an awesome song.

Flash! AAaaaaaaaaaaa-ahhhhhh!

I thought that sounded like Strummer. I really should hear those records.

That song that was just on was good, whatever it was.

"Let's Dance" always reminds me of when we used to ditch school to go eat Monte Cristos at the diner.

Oldey-timey music!

Wonder what THAT household was like.

So sue me. They marketed me wrong, is all.

I mean, I watched Michael Gira transubstantiate himself into the fallen Lucifer at a Swans show at Irving Plaza in 1988. I saw a Bad Brains show so insane that the whole room turned into a mosh pit. I saw Camper Van Beethoven shatter Einsteinian reality with their cover version of "Interstellar Overdrive." I KNOW shit from Shinola.

And fuck The Strokes too.

Good for them, then. I found their album to be pretty much unlistenable.

I wouldn't go that far. I would hope that unlike VW, they would a.) not suck so hard - serious, it seems to me that they just can't freaking PLAY - and b.) not play the music of a people so much poorer than they (or even I) are. I am not being a bigot, but I am feeling my inner Marxist lately.

Jesus wept. I don't like Vampire Weekend because they ape a great genre of music, badly, to the point of insult and exploitation. That they are rich just makes me more mad at them. If someone comes up with some stats (:) that this band's success results in people getting into Afropop and more money going to deserving Afropop artists, then maybe I will STFU about them. Until then, motherfuck them AND John Wayne.

MOOOOOM! THIS INTERNET CONNECTION IS SO SLOW!

They are the Kings of Rock, there are none higher. Sucker MCs should call them sire.

I wonder who swung the bigger bat, Pops or Uncle Milty?

Look at this awesome pic of Jim Rice and Willie Stargell, who was also awesome!

Aww. He was a pretty good actor, and the best Star Trek bad guy, period.

Praline: (whistles a bit, then) Hello. I would like to buy a fish license, please. Postal clerk: A what? Praline: A license for my pet fish, Eric. Clerk: How did you know my name was Eric? Praline: No, no, no! My fish's name is Eric. Eric fish. He's an halibut. Clerk: What? Praline: He is an halibut. Clerk: You've got a pet halibut? Praline: Yes, I chose him out of thousands. I didn't like the others, they were all too flat. Clerk: You must be a loony. Praline

From one Dan to another, happy birthday!

Sure. But Gibson could dirty-look a batter to death.
