Remember mashups?
I was listening to this year's Best of Bootie, and, to my ears, it sounds like there has been a lot of cross-pollination between the mashup scene and the dubstep scene, and I'm not liking the results.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Promoting the metal band my friends are in! Their first EP is up on CD Baby and in the iTunes store! Sludgy, drony, 70s-throwback metal, and they hired a pretty good artist-guy to do their cover ...
Seriously, however, Shedu sounds great. I'm really proud of all of them, and because of them I've been to a lot more local metal shows.

Heh, but possibly left open the Colbert Report (which has Michael Stipe on a shelf). I'll record that one for posterity.

Hey, Jon, do you have that song that you ripped from Yo Gabba Gabba, “No One Likes to Be Left Out”?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Restaurant I am in was on a good run of music and the "Erotic City" came on. I thought: I have never heard this song played in a public space that wasn't a club. I wonder how long this song will be on.
Not long. Didn't make it past the first verse

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Back in '85 I worked at a pizza place in Madison. Most of the employees there loved the Violent Femmes song "Add it Up", so we'd play it on the restaurant stereo all the time. When it got to the bad words, all us employees would loudly clear our throats.
Eventually someone played it when the place was quiet, and our manager heard the lyrics and banned the song.
eta: Once a Madison radio station played the King Missile song "Martin Scorsese", which has a huge number of fucks in it. The DJ tried to bleep them out, but he was only catching about half of them. So a minute into the song he cut it off.
