Was it just me or did anyone else find the non food related stuff (i.e. the "jokes") insufferably poor? The food info was good enough to ignore them but most of the time I would have preferred the 15 minute version that edited all the bad high school play stuff out.

Sort of. I would say that they were signed to the label. The band themselves apparently wanted to limit their debut album to 500K copies to create a stronger demand. The label was a bit apprehensive and said that that was a bridge they'd cross when they were nearing the 500K mark, and then the album sold less than…

President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho?  Seriously how did he not get included?

Thanks for the link.  I found the song while duplicating a playlist from Paradise Garage for a party (yeah I'm that kind of nerd).  One of the tracks clearly listed the singer as "Bryan Adams" and thus began the pain of never being able to exorcise that song's existence from my memory.  But at least I have two levels…

I came across the Tinymixtapes review as well.  Boy does that guy need help.  I was so shocked by the terrible writing (like teenager with a thesaurus who wrote a paper at 3 in the morning) that I had to look at some of the other reviews.  They were all equally but uniquely terrible.  The Hot Chip Review was my…

Bryan Adams early disco single.  "Let me take you dancing" - The producer thought the song sucked so he just sped it up and released it without rerecording his voice.  It's as bad as it sounds.
Matthew Sweet's 80's albums
Billy Joel's Atilla
Vincent Gallo's early 80s rap career

Probably.  I was just expecting so much.  I'd already written him off as a novelty by the time Odelay came out (boy was I wrong), then thought he was a genius(thank you Odelay), then thought he was settling into his real career(Mutations), then though he lost it all when MV came out.  I didn't even buy Sea Change when…

My memory of Midnight Vultures is that it was sort of letdown partly because of the expectations at the time, and partly because it seems like fun throw-away party music.  Mutations was viewed as sort of a stopgap small release (made big by Geffen) so MV was really the proper follow-up to Odelay. When it finally came…

A little more like I only listen to music on 180 gram wide grooved albums that have been converted to 45 RPM on my Goldmund Reference turntable.

First off, that coffee is now bad.  Unless for some reason it was still green, in which case its still bad (about 2 years max on green coffee) and you'd have to roast it to make it.  Apparently a lot of people buy it as a gift for their boss so they can give the gift of a bag of crap.

Actually, they left that to Jake Holmes, Spirit, Bert Jansch, Howlin' Wolf, Davey Graham……

Her version was the first revival of the song I believe, but its pretty different.  Not really sure how you can hate that song.  And I hate everything.  Especially this tosser.
