Title: Happy VD Everybody!
Post by: RGMike on February 14, 2005, 07:42:55 AM

Dave's copping out and letting Fogheads choose today's Valentine set (and you KNOW how I feel about Fogheads' taste), and most of the votes have been for Love Songs as opposed to Love Stinks songs.

Thank god for Little Steven, whose annual "St Valentines Day Massacre" show blended old gangster (as opposed to "gangsta") movie clips with a lot of anti-love songs. I finally got to hear the Crystals' legendary what-were-they-thinking non-hit, "He Hit Me -- and it Felt Like a Kiss", which Steven said was "written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, after a looong night of drinking, apparently."

I guess you watched the Grammys last night, huh?

Actually, I didn't. But I read Aidin Vaziri's piece in the Chron:

Snarkiness at its best!

I'd hardly call that "its best."  Clearly Aidin either hates everything about music (in which case, why does he make a career in the field?) or he's being paid by the bon mot instead of by the hour.  Problem is, his mots aren't very bon.

"Green Day won for best rock album and behaved less punk than Tim McGraw, obediently thanking its label, radio and a bunch of other boring people nobody cares about." --> How the fuck does Aidin know these people are boring?  And who should they be thanking instead -- Paris Hilton and Hillary Clinton and Kim Jong Il?  (And if they did thank "people everybody cares about," wouldn't Aidin just dock them for being pretentious?)  Vaziri puts people into no-win situations, and the bitchiness would be appreciated if he actually had something to add to the mix.  Instead he's just like that equally bitter queen J.R. Taylor of the NY Press.

Bah.
