My beard is bushier than his.

We've been doing that to make the page look a little less bulky. Would you prefer to see the video?

I dunno, man, the Cornelius shout-out seemed sort of sandwiched in
awkwardly before that Deadmau5/Foo Fighters/Chris Brown/David Guetta
thing. The Etta James tribute was an actual performance; the Cornelius
tribute was a quick "RIP" before something totally unrelated. (Also,
those TVs showing Soul Train were kind of far…

Sure, but I don't think that applies to Deadmau5, do you?

Ah, and here I thought people might actually read past the headline and to the story. :) New headline: "The Grammys Are Worth Watching, Because It's Structured In Such A Way That Emphasizes Performances By A Broad Range Of Artists"

The fact that a piece suggesting that the Grammys might be worth watching (for the performances, not the awards) is considered trolling or contrarian is sort of amazing. If saying "hey, this isn't absolutely the worst thing in the world" is considered controversial, then the rep for this show isn't in the toilet, or…

I love them, and you should, too.

Dawes.

If there's free drinks, yes. 

If there's free drinks, yes.

It's cool that you love 4 Non Blondes. But I'd advise against sharing that too widely in a non-anonymous situation, lest you meet someone as aggressively judgmental as you are.

Yes, I have heard of Linda Perry. She was the lead singer of 4 Non Blondes, right? You're right: If you like 4 Non Blondes, you will generally disagree with anything I have to say about music.

Hey MK, sorry you didn't like this song. But if you expect to like every single artist that we write about, that's kind of an impossibly high standard, no? At any rate, I assure you this feature won't only feature my so-so taste in music. If you see the link above, Kyle wrote the previous Playlisted entry, and we'll…

Yep, I acknowledged that the headline for that story was awkward and poorly written way back in halcyon days of June 2011. (And I just did it again.) The Dawes meme has taken on a life of its own since then, which is cool. But if that brief honestly still bothers you (as opposed to just being a joke), I don't know…

Whoa, you approve? Do you promise to talk about this post for the next seven months, too?

My vote goes to … Johanna and the Söderbergs 2: The Swedequel! Congrats!

Nah. If I was going to make a sequel joke, I wouldn't make the gabillionth tired reference to BREAKIN' 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO.

You might not like the Craig Finn interview we have running tomorrow, because he sorta disagrees with you (and sorta agrees with me)

Never said this band sounded like Girls. I said they were working in a similar guitar-pop vein. I also said CN were better, because they are. Billy, you've been harping about this across multiple social-media platforms for months now. Agree to disagree?

It's not going to stop.
