He locked my Anna Nicole Smith thread. What an asshole.

Great. The one Friday I stay in for the evening and no one's here. I know all of you haven't gotten lives.

In related news, I've been posting here for 4+ years.[/life]

I change my sig—which I never see, anyway—to reflect a choice line or passage from a book I recently read. I could say I hope it's to enlighten you on literary matters, but I never credit the sources of these excerpts, anyway. I guess you can always google it.

For a guy who liked derailing admittedly bad threads to talk about his favorite foods—and had a school girl's enthusiasm for reality shows and Gilmore Girls (the latter of which almost made me want to like him)—Rudo was a hypersensitive, prissy queen without any threshold for criticism directed at himself. I enjoy a good egomaniacal flare-up, but RRR, for all his bluster, wasn't funny. That makes him worse than Rando. At least he is oblivious or just doesn't care that there are people who find him nothing more than a pest.

Where were you when you found out Anna Nicole Smith died? Me, I was sitting in my office, browsing cnn.com.

Who started the "periods instead of question marks" trend? This guy right here, that's who.

I'm still high on their s/t, but News and Tributes was sophomore slump defined.

Oh, I forgot to mention I liked the album Brightblack Morning Light put out last year, but I can't vouch for them live. I saw them open for Bonnie Prince Billy a couple of years ago and thought they were dreadful.

Well, obv.

Which version? I absolutely love the Futureheads cover.

Man, I love the Puppy Bowl. It was getting a bigger reaction at the Super Bowl party I went to last night than the Super Bowl itself.

Functioning retards.

When the bulk of your criticism of a band is based on the kind of people you perceive to listen to it, you betray your own inability to talk about music on its own terms. You're a moron.

What keeps me from fully enjoying Cam'ron getting O'Reilly's goat is that Cam'ron really is that stupid.

I, for one, look forward to Lord of the Curry's thoughts on this pressing matter.

You really have your finger on the pulse of the music scene, don't you. What blogs do you read? Isn't pitchforkmedia the lamest???

oboy, this wiki sure is educating me on all the wonderful people at the Pit!

JUST KEEPIN IT REAL, BROS

Awful.

JD's Substance is overrated, but Unknown Pleasures and Closer are good albums. New Order have some fine songs, but a lot of their stuff has aged poorly.

Yeah, that was pretty good.

Why does someone think I'm Byron the Bulb?

These are the ones I know and like. Are more bands playing entire albums live? I know that's been a thing with ATP, lately; Dirty Three, Isis and Low have done it at past ATP festivals. Slint, too, so this would be their second time.
