Afghans, beheading some gays.

We're flying to, a taller place.
Soon it will be, a pile of waste.

*hangs head, averts gaze*   Yes, sir.

No sir, I won't like it.

Springtime for Osama, and Jihadis.
Winter for New York, and Joisey.

Even worse, if you use the internet to research the internet, the internet might suddenly become self-aware and decide to destroy all humans.

Argh.   I missed my chance to use "just the firsts, ma'am."

Been there.  It's not so bad.

If you google this bandname your computer overloads and dies in a cloud of sparks and white smoke.   Please don't try it.   You've been warned.

Not really.  Try calling them overrated and overhyped and throw in some snark about their 15 minutes being almost used up.

I like Wye Oak but I do feel AV Club needs a Wye Oak backlash just to preserve hipster street cred.   You can't have a band that everybody likes perpetually.   It's undignified and uncool.

Where is the backlash?  It's embarrassing to see everybody just enjoying something over and over.   It ain't natural.

Very ELOesque.   I have no absolutely no objection to that.  ELO rules.

I was just thinking about a few years back when Professor Dum Dum at WFMU did a Christmas show in which he had listeners call in with suggestions about how to prepare the corpse of baby Jesus for consumption.   The entire show was devoted to ideas for cooking and eating babies.   I wish I had a copy of that.

Your grandparents will probably have the same opinion of Sleigh Bells as people one third of their age:  "overrated crap that nobody will remember 5 years from now except as a punchline."

Nice bass playing, but otherwise it's not much of a tune.    I guess it has a cool attitude and vibe.   That counts for something.

Andy Williams' 1963 "O Holy Night" is the one you want.  I've never heard a better one. 

For me Andy Williams is the undisputed King of Christmas.  Andy KNOWS Christmas. 1963's "The Andy Williams Christmas Album"  and 1965's "Merry Christmas"  are the two best Xmas discs you can ever buy.  No other Xmas albums I've heard give you that many classic performances for your money.

Bitter elderly substance abusers are the BEST judges of character.

Yeah but Lugosi thought Karloff was an asshole.  I'll take Bela's opinion over all the children in the world.  Kids are terrible judges of character.
