A) I am a big Donald Glover fan, so I am sorry to say when I heard a song on the radio that sounded like Linkin Park rap over a Justice beat dressing up Drake lyrics, I was sad to find out that it was Childish Gambino (DG’s rap moniker).
B) Kanye West’s verses get worse and worse but the beats are better and better. See “Mercy” and “No Church in the Wild”.
C) The oldies station that has only been on a year- a super cheapie with pre-recorded DJs- but still had lots of 60s Neil Diamond AND The Standells AND about 15 Beach Boys songs AND Sonny and Cher AND The Supremes AND some very random songs AND a bunch of Stevie Wonder AND a pretty deep library is doing that thing where they are changing formats. Their format change appears to coincide with the “classic rock” station disappearing from the airwaves, and now Oldies means 70s and 80s crapola. I has a sad. BLARG.
Please give our Ombuds some attention, they really do love nothing more. If you were to create a parody of Matt Yglesias, would you bother to change anything about him or just make him more concentrated?
If Matthew Yglesias did not exist, we would have to invent him.
More concentrated.
Less filling.

Summerfest radio report: The Walkmen were gud.
What do you consider 70s and 80s crapola, PP?
More like the same stuff that has been on the radio for 30 years, so nothing useful, and not a deep library. So, basically annoying.
I listened to the new Walkmen twice yesterday. It is gud.
Can you give me one example each of 70s and 80s crapola?
Disco Duck, BG…
80s: Anything by hair band Poison, b.g.

Disco Duck? I was thinking he’d name something I love, and then we’d get into a HUGE BLOG BRAWL!
thunder, I saw Poison in concert a few years ago. With Cheap Trick and Def Leopard (however you spell it). Not my kind of music, but I had fun that night.
Let’s put it this way, they went from a station that would almost never play China Road by the Doobie Brothers to a station that would play it all the time, in addition to BTO. I just have heard these enough in my lifetime. They also play REO Speedwagon now. Now, I LOVE in a certain way, the ol’ REO Speedwagon hit, but not on my station that previously would play Crimson and Clover. Well, they’ll probably play it now, just the Joan Jett version, and similarly, they played the Billy Idol “Mony Mony” the other day. Unacceptable!!!!!!
And the Tiffany, “I Think We’re Alone Now”.
Lemonheads “Mrs Robinson.”
The Lemonheads is OK. The Godsmack version of “Rocky Mountain Way” is not
Last night I heard a country rock band playing “Locomotive Breath”
Just so wrong.
That sounds funny.
More MattY chundermuffinery.
Also, in another post, he says:
Yes you do, you disingenuous chundernozzle. You understand the logic very well indeed.
This fuzzball mathed it up with 14+55. Filthbot can take over.
I am awaiting moderation, waaaaaa.
Anything off Rumors by Fleetwood Mac. Overplayed Aphroditean love tones.
Pshaw, Snag! (Yes, I am following you around the internet commenting on your comments.)
It’s an honor to be stalked by you, BG.
I hear a tune when Snag types that.
Mandos, I am imagining MattY trolling other disciplines like he trolls this reality. Can you imagine him commenting on computer science or physics? Cookie Jesus.

Oh my God, I loved that album… even the cover art. I stared at it compulsively.

It’s really useless trying to start a blog brawl anymore.
*Sniffle*
I know, beege.
That’s why I post birdie pics.

Starting a blog brawl with thunder is no challenge.
you seem to be implying that Matt Y is not already a parody.
I heard that!

PEEP!

Your capcha on DOD is broken, foolio!
I fixed it, but there is a wave of spam.
