Gary Glitter would've sued the Black Keys for the drum beat.

I actually thought I was losing my hipness (okay, I'll be honest, I never had any, I know, I know) because I wasn't grasping the alleged greatness of "Channel Orange."

Yeah but people still take Pazz and Jop very very seriously.

How about Elvis re-records all of "Get Happy!!" with the Roots as the Attractions?

This news gave me seconds of pleasure

My initial reaction: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also am a Louis CK look-alike. Though right now I'm doing this whole "Phil Collins with a beard" thing, so …

I was pushed and teased for every little thing people could tease me about. And since I was still socially underdeveloped (never…
