Does it sound like a joke?

I don't perv on Grande — she's not unattractive, she just doesn't push my buttons. MacCurdy, OTOH, is all kinds of hot, which is really disconcerting. Not because I'm nearly twice her age, but because I've been watching her on TV since she was 14.

There is exaclty one word in the English language that is so offensive that it should be refered to only by its initial letter. That isn't it.

Everybody does.

If we hope to live in the kingdom of ends, the bare minimum we must endeavor to do is refer to people by their chosen names, even if they're stupid.

Nope, not ok.

HIMYM was way too complex to film before a real audience — there were episodes with 30-some scenes compared to, like, five, in a typical multicam sitcom.

Too bad. It was funny (although I have several episodes backed up on my DVR).

Yeah. the Burnham stuff is the better half, but I don't think it cohave sold on its own (to the publisher or to the public).

Scholarship discovered that those babies were total dicks.

NBC owns Telemundo.

The chorus is sung by Charli XCX.

Why?

I love the bit in that video where the girl singer blows her cue and clearly shouts "FUCK!" Very cute.

You're thinking of Janelle Monae.

Why's it gotta be a competition? Sure, the hook is the best part of that song (that's it's job), but they don't just play those four lines.

That's probably true (although I'd call Monae neo-soul as I pushed my glasses up my nose), but the thing about the fractured culture is that I just don't have the energy to keep up with the dial like I could.

There was a moment which that was true, but it isn't any more, because terrestrial radio SUCKS. Maybe there are other markets that have more interesting playlists.
Although I wasn't a serious music fan until later, I first started paying attention in the '90's while living in NE Ohio, when WENZ was one of the national…

I'm glad she's getting some airplay. I listen exclusively to Sirius XM's kids' station now, so I have no idea what popular radio programs, but Monae never seemed to be quite as popular in the world as she was with the critics (and with me).
I did in fact hear the song she has in rotation on the kids' station this…

Well this is what the article's about. Gotye was awfully popular for an indie song, and I suppose it got some mainstream radio play as well, but it didn't show up at ballgames or in the background when you're at the mall (not much anyway) as Call Me Maybe.
