about

There's a website called Brooklyn Vegan that talks so much about NPR's streaming of the new Arcade Fire album than when you google "NPR arcade fire" you get Brooklyn Vegan's review of the new album, as heard on NPR. They did provide a helpful link, but they also attracted a ton of crazy commenters who put hours of heartfelt thought into explaining why they weren't going to spend an hour listening to this album. I collected some of the best bon mots from this website, and threw them together with another ludicrous music critic. I think they all sort of work together.

Since it's not fair to post a song about blog comments without leaving space for commenters, I'd like to direct all would-be commenters to my blog post about this song: aftermyworkisdone.blogspot.com/2010/08/64x30-brooklyn-vegan-comment-war.html

lyrics

the adolescent venting of a child of divorce. the type of quotes that cutters put on messageboard signatures
plodding grade school poetry class lyrics
Same formula, too sentimental. I can see liking it for what it is though
the adolescent venting of a child of divorce. the type of quotes that cutters put on messageboard signatures

it was but in an incomplete
and spasmodic
a fragmentary
and unsumbstantial manner
that the true Folk-spirit
could ever manifest itself

beneath the influences
that pressed upon it
from outside and above
