Henry, don’t hate British Music because Mark Ronson is the shit. And don’t hate Bill Simmons, unless you’ve listened to his podcast. Then hate him for sounding like a pre-pubescent end-of-the-bench nerd who never disagrees with one underwhelming thing his “guests” say. Otherwise, you’re not allowed.

British music is hated on purely for the following reason: the British rock media thinks that The Beatles Coming To America is happening with every damn Arctic Monkey who swims over here, and that Americans should be really really happy for it. Ronson I’m actually about 60/40 on right now, as “Just” is pretty fresh.
Also, no hating on Bill Simmons. Reread that entry, before his name, you’ll see he’s in the Good list.

Oh, yes, apparently a year removed from college has brought a significant decline to my reading comprehension. Bill Simmons is a good idol. “True” bloggers hate because of his mainstream success, but fuck ‘em, haters hate.
As for Ronson, I dig about 60% of his CD just like you, but he’s much different than anyone else out right now, and he makes real music. I appreciate that. Plus, his rendition of Toxic featuring ODB is beyond sick.

Tom:
1) Very respectable photo.
2) Badmouth The Dark Knight at your own peril.
You’ll be blogrolled once your post on that movie is up and interesting enough for me to reccomend your blog. So far: congrats on bashing abba.
