My comment was a bit glib. But I stand by it. Kanye simply has a terrible voice and doesn't use Autotune in a way that can make it palatable. And while I understand the whole mother issues, listening to the album it is 95% his ego and his breakup with Alexis Phifer, 5% anguish over his mother. And really he is a great…

808s and Heartbreak
That entry dances pretty artfully around the fact 808s and Heartbreak was utter shit.

Yes, you could pay a dollar a day for that. Or just realize that product is not for you.

Not to be a jerk, but I think it's obvious I've heard the song, no need to quote it for me. And it is a positive name drop, basically saying "leave Autotune to T-Pain, non-existent hypothetical rapper". And Jay-Z has made it clear than he approves of T-Pain's use of Autotune in interviews.

(Charity Bono joke)

DOA is fire. And needed to be said. But I can't get over how hypocritical it is. His call for the end of Autotune is produced by Kanye and positively name drops both Lil Wayne and T-Pain, literally the three biggest Autotune offenders. So who exactly is Hova telling to grow a set? Cher?

Well, 19 x 77 virgins? Your odds were high, Mr. Majestyk.

And Ryan Adams became an American hero.

To return to the more important discussion, I prefer to read "How else are you going to get that thing in your ass?" as a genuine plea for help. C'mon, he's spending hundreds on butter a month! He needs an alternative!

My favourite thing about Tool is that their fans wear shirts that simply say Tool on them. I like to think of it of a public service MJK provides.

Well, using cliches as satire is a dangerous game. Done right, it is awesome. See: Simon Pegg/Edgar Wright movies. I know many people disagree with me, but I think 30 rock does this poorly often. Using tired cliches with a wink and calling it hilarious satire. Doesn't work for me.

Decent ep.
The show kinda starting to wear on me. It doesn't have the spark the normal version has. But it's summer so I need something to DVR to help the insomnia.

Well your mom always gives me shit about it, something about she wants me to save "it" all for her. Whatever "it" is. Talk to her about it, it's getting fucking annoying.

God. Fuck you, AV Club.
The apps are so sexy yet I am so poor. But I finally broke down and got an iTouch just for them. But due to my poorness, it is taking forever to get here. Guess I just been refreshing the tracking page and wonder why the fuck it took two days to get from Anaheim to Cerritos. And I'm on the east…

Yes, they would. They been known as that very poor band who is terrible at selecting their best songs as singles.

MGMT has three drop dead amazing songs. The sad part is those songs have been played to the point they are like jerking off to me. Pleasurable, but never going to get back to how it felt the first time and there's always creeping guilt after it's over.

I adore Tosh, but I can see how his vibe can come across Mencia/Cookish. I was sort of surprised to see him get this show, as I never really associated internet nor McHale style sarcasm with him. His standup is really fast paced and stream of consciousness, and often goes into long made up and hilarious scenarios.…

Yes. Cause internety names always make sense. Such as the iPhone and Web 2.0.

Oh I understand Meatloaf is basically Springsteen done by theater people. But I still don't see the connection between Springsteen and AF much. Such as lyrically, Springsteen's very detailed-oriented and storytelling (like Meatloaf) which Arcade Fire isn't. And musically, the influence isn't that strong. Just because…

Well, Noel included them. And I won't deny that the Killers have a Springsteen influence. Nor will I say the Killers suck. But the problem with that is how calculated their Springsteen idolatry is. They went from New Order-ish sexually ambiguous synth guys to bearded dudes in Western garb singing about busting out of…
