Excellent. And thanks for explaining the mysterious ways of Hep C.
Don't I get a cookie?

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

So, am I overreacting when I call this guy the tooliest tool who's ever been compared to a socket wrench?

Unfortunately, not even the biggest tool at TNR.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

You're not wrong.

I read TNR as TRL and automatically assumed you meant the First King of Tools Carson Daly. However, the TNR guy is actually Toolier.

Hi. Officially entering the thread I probably belong in.

Tooliest? I think Pat Robertson currently holds that title. But a tool nonetheless.
One thing that annoys me about a certain segment of "music snobs" is that unless you grew up/lived/went to college in Chicago/Boston/NYC/LA/SF you don't know good music. And, in a sense, they're right. But the one thing that the MP3 revolution has done is get the good stuff to the kids who, like me, grew up in godforesaken places like Oklahoma. When I was in high school you could count on one hand the number of kids who listened to anything that wasn't hair metal or bad country. Now, the kids have access to the sort of music that I had never heard of back then, thanks to iPods and music sharing.
Last Christmas I watched a pack of teenage girls debate the merits of the Decemberists vs. Weezer in a Tulsa Borders store. And we're not talking goths, we're talking makeup and hair and 16. That never would have happened in Tulsa circa 1990.

Having grown up in SW Alabama, all I can say is: I hear ya. We were lucky enough to have an indie record store open up when I was 15, the same year I discovered punk music. I pretty much lived there.

Well, that's true. One of the music geeks on my other board said that his rule of thumb is that the more ridiculous a statement by a TNR writer, the more likely it is that he or she means it.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
He is such a tool that he comes with a free set of ginzu knives and an in-the-egg egg scrambler.
This made me laugh: that highly obscure album of AC/DC songs performed as tender acoustic ballads
because, hey, it can't be that obscure, because I have it! It's on eMusic.

I've got it too (and love it!), but that's no guarantee of non-obscurity.
I'm trying to think of what I've got that really qualifies as obscure.
