I'll stick with the first article, given a choice.

You can choose either the Thomas Jefferson ball sucking or falling back on your professed affection for Iron Maiden.

The world is your oyster, Brett Ralph.

Hey, Bradley, clam up already!

But his posts offer pearls of wisdom.

Pearls of wisdom, eh? They seem more like an e-display of mussel-flexing to me.

A little housekeeping:
Saying that you get shit for liking Modest Mouse, The Shins, or other bands with the Pitchfork Media stamp of approval reminds me of the time I was in a particular job interview. I was asked what my worst trait was. I replied that I was a bit too organized.
A bullshit answer to designed to disguise the real dirt.

Those bands are fucking hip with the kids and you know it.
And The Fall? C'mon. That's cred by the shit-ton.

So, let's have it for real, people.

Hats off to the people who said Steely Dan. Oddly, there are many of you. The Christina Aguilera guy has major balls.

Here are mine:
Mr. Scruff
Haircut 100
Blur
Aimee Mann
Kula Shaker
Jobriath
The Hollies
Is Joni Mitchell embarassing? I'm thinking not. Anyway, she kicks my ass. Even during that period where she had bass players that made "bbwowwnnnn" sounds on their fretlesses. NOT cool.

Uncle Tupelo
Son Volt
Early U2
Cap N' Jazz (it was more of a scoff)
Ratatat
Neil Young
