On this dreary, rainy day when THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END!!!! (or not) I stumbled onto the sometimes gladdening, sometimes infuriating Oldies.com site, and came across Vol. 19 of the infamous anthologies with the famous name
NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUUUUUUUUUUUUSIC!!!!! (The title's so preposterous the three stoo -- owners have taken to just calling it
NOW!!!!!) Out of idle curiosity and bored into torpor by the rain I found
the official Web site -- and before I could mute the volume the first thing out of the tinny ALTEC speakers on my fine Eh-SUS laptop was WOMAN WITH THE BOOBS, who DOES use Autotune. Then I happened on
the Terms, and decided right there all three entities should be fumigated.
And I felt a sense of happiness, knowing
venting my spleen on ROCK mu-SICK cri-TICS was thoroughly justified. I haven't seen their likes on GRATE.COM lately. I hope I never have to again. The firing of Jack Shafer makes that unlikely.
And now, for a tinge of nostalgia and excellence to settle the stomach
here again is someone other than WOMAN WITH THE BOOBS, singing something not concocted by
Dr. Frankenstein and
Igor.
