Fuck yes. Try cardio you fat fucks…

What makes me cool?
So am I supposed to hate this because it's a rip-off of the White Stripes, who I adore?

I blame the movies for my bad decisions
I watched Ghostbusters and Grease religiously when I was a kid. Both movies contained smoking. So of course when I was offered a cigarette at the age of 14, I couldn't help myself.

James Brown completely kills shuffle for me too. I only have his 20 greatest hits album on the entire 2000 song ipod, but I'll be damned if he doesn't always come up. Johnny Cash is a similar phenomenon, though far more tolerable.

You spoiling bastard!

Thanks for answering!

30 seconds of ambient noise
If ever a song proved that IMeen and its 30 second clips are worthless, it's this one. I have no idea what this band sounds like, but judging from that, they make spacey ocean sounds.

I too enjoyed your story. I always am the guy at a concert or an airport that completely misses celebrity citings, usually playing out as such:

Ok. I'm going to go ahead and defend Monster. I fucking love that album and it still gets played routinely on my ipod. Maybe it came out at a formative time. I was 12 or 13 and it was one of the first 5 cds I bought with my own money. Kenneth was and still is infectiotious. Strange Currencies and Tongue are great

New review format?
Did anyone else notice that the three points that usually punctuate the end of the game reviews were not included. They were my favorite part, especially Frustration Sets In. I hope they bring them back. I need lists; I can't go back to reading full paragraphs.

You must have a very loose definition of "rapping."

I've heard she's working on a country album and a new Stripes album is not too far off.

It took a couple of times for me too. I listened to it a couple of times straight through yesterday and loved it. I especially like the last track.

There was a time when reading wasn't just for fags. And neither was writing. People wrote books and movies. Movies with stories, that made you care about whose ass it was and why it was farting. And I believe that time can come again!

Ouch.
