Ahhh...the writers at TMT, you are humorous.

Here's the greatest thing I've read today...
"Hmm, what is this Coldplay band like?" asks an older woman after ordering a decaf iced latte and a slice of lemon-raspberry loaf. This wasn't in my job description; I think to myself, I wish they would have sent along a card of a preordained little recitation I'm supposed to give, as they did with the Yukon Blend. "Well, they are pretty much the quintessential band of a large group of decidedly British bands capitalizing off trying to sound like Bends-era Radiohead though falling flat due to trite and pithy lyricism, lack of musical inventiveness that hides behind washes of reverbed soundscapes and ornately orchestrated string sections as a means to connote deep existential journeying and hopefully portray an unassuming genius from a heavyhearted and (supposedly) lovelorn mind that is making his way in this universe despite its maddening incomprehensibility."
Funny stuff. The only reason I read it again was todays article on www.tinymixtapes.com about Kanye West referenced that older article. Today's article started with this paragraph...
"So, it's not like you guys/gals won't hear about this Kanye West/Common tour from every other news source, but hey, we're TMT and West made that inflammatory comment about Bush, so we's all like, "Hey, let's report on it, cuz we're TMT and we don't like Bush, too! We totally think he's dumb! Ooooh, we're anti-big corporations! Blah blah blah!" You know, I think this site would be much better if we just pretended that politics had nothing to do with music, if we just omitted all stories referencing RIAA and Clear Channel and Starbucks and Wal-Mart. Maybe we should take down our Colplay review, too..."
It's a rather humorous article. I like their news and reviews that turn into something more blog-like. It may just be my mood, or it could be that it was truly hilarious, but I found todays news and the article linked to it particulary humorous, and I said to myself, hey, I should just copy and paste these parts of the article and put them in my blog. It works well with my laziness today. I didn't feel like coming up with something on my own, so I snagged these items from someone else. On that note, here's a painting of Harvey Pekar that I really liked as seen earlier on www.drawn.ca, one of the best blogs about illustration which just so happens to link you to countless other blogs about illustration and the like. I do believe this is the least effort I have put into a blog yet. It feels good.
