On Stereogum

According to "Stuff that White People Like"...most white people listen to Wu Tang and really like Mos Def. I figure if you're going to throw overtly blanketed statements at least get your sources right.

As for this song, it get's a "meh". C'mon Jay, you can and have done better.

Actually it did get me into listening to the original. Now I'm hunting down more songs. Keep the faith, there's still people who like and want to bother tracking down new/old music to listen to.

This cover is beautiful! I don't know what the fuss is about, would you rather Yorke just phone it in? I thought the whole point of a cover is to take existing work and make it your own.

It took a second listen...and I actually like it. I haven't really dug anything since Silent Alarm.

You know what, Micheal Jackson's personal life aside (that's a completely different discussion) you sure as fuck can't deny the impact that he had on popular music. He was the first African American to be featured on MTV and had literally everyone across the board - fans and critics giving him praise. The guy is called the "King of Pop" for a reason. I actually believe his relevancy existed through the countless of imitators that we have today.

All I'm saying is no, I'm not going to canonize the man...but I respect him as an artist. Also stop fucking frontin' like you all haven't got at LEAST ONE MJ song that if you were to hear it, you'd sing along, dance or at least tap your foot to it.

So can I get a SHAMON?!

(This coming from a person who usually doesn't comment on these sorts of things.)

Well the only thing that could make me watch is MJ possessing someone to sing "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' " Think about it. That would be fun.

Fourth season..decent? Did you forget they pulled a "What if Ryan didn't leave Chino" episode? I'll still say the series finale was one of the most ridiculous/hilarious moments in television.

Oh hai! We want your house! Now hold a wedding! Now deliver our baby! Ok now leave! Callliiiffforrrnnniiaaaaaaa!
