“ In fact, the physical act of moving your possessions from Manhattan to Brooklyn is now the equivalent of a two-year M.F.A. program. When you get to the other side, they hand you three Moleskine notebooks and a copy of “Blogging for Dummies.” You’re good to go.

Why I Hate Music Writers
The following quote comes from a concert listing in the local alt-weekly, where people with overpriced degrees write abominable sentences about “ironic” music.
“A finalist on Nashville Star and winner of the Cover Girl Fresh Face of Country Music Award, Miranda Lambert has a résumé that reads like the instructions on a bag of Maruchan Smack Ramen. It’s clear that she was launched from the same bottomless box of blank ammo that spawned the impotent, lucrative careers of LeAnn Rimes and Carrie Underwood. But bushwhack through those dubious honors and discover a talent that is re-purposing the powers of this musical munitions factory to push modernizing ideas on an industry plagued by as much misogyny as a 2 Live Crew tour.”
WHAT THE FUCK DOES HALF OF THAT EVEN MEAN. i’d rant about it, but i’ll just let you wallow in the cultural-studies-degree of it all.
