c'MON, John
An all-Black A-Team! Get it rolling!

where are my manners
Thank you for the mp3 streams! I'm going to spend the rest of the day assigning ironclad opinions to all these albums based on one songs I kind of hear through my computer speakers at work.

somewhere…
Kraken Fury is doing bong hits, content in their ignorance of year-end lists.

I think we've all reached a consensus here! Good talk, guys!

If you think we don't know what McSweeney's is, you're just a douchebag. No 'hipster'.

Link to the Omaha fight plz, comments aren't searchable.

if you really like shitty rapping in cars
And you're from Austin, wait for the Custom Sounds commercials. I saw one the other day and noticed his registration sticker said 2001 or some such nonsense. That, my man, is Custom Soundzzzz

THE "DREAM GIRL" COMMERCIAL
What a fucking douche. I'm sure she feels terrible about charging her student loans, but do you expect me to sympathize with a guy who writes songs about his girlfriend's credit report? And performs them with a full band while she's doing his laundry?

They were under a misplaced vowel, oddly enough.

I'm not entirely sure
Why this interview started off with an impassioned defense of the guy. It's… unusual for the AV Club to do more than summarize the interviewee's work and the reaction to his or her latest work.

Cum On Feel the VINDICATION
Now what about the Hawthorne kid?

Baltimore
How can a scene be so played out before it hits the big time? Kids today, they grow up so fast.

"I Feel Good"

I would argue that "Imagine" killed the world's soul, just a little. Amazingly smug, self-righteous drivel from a man who used to be able to see through that kind of bullshit.

most everyone has a shitty band they'll stick up for
And I've got Semisonic. Well-put-together songs inFYOOsed with the spirit of Todd Rundgren. They had at least five or six great tunes in three albums, and a slew of good ones. An exemplary pop/rock band.

The first one. And now it's even less funny than it was before.

Fun fact: Ringo was the only Beatle who wasn't a douchebag.

update: 'I AM LEGEND' TO PRECEDE
Six minutes of me vomiting.

As a Beatles fan, I must point out
That Paul was into Stockhausen and musique concrete before Lennon. No lie.

God, Sean!
Language!
