in defense of reason...

ahem.

time to clear my name.

first...
i did NOT say that the reason i didn't like blink-182 was because they were "radio-friendly". i said that they were too poppy/radio-airplay/mass-produced-sounding for my taste. and yes, i'm a music snob. guilty as charged. but i certainly don't draw broad lines about what is and isn't played on the radio, and then write off those who are played on the radio as "sell-outs". i mean, yes, i think the killers suck and i wish they'd just crawl back under the rock that hit them on the heads as very small children, but i do like the strokes (eat it, people; i like the strokes) and i like the white stripes (particularly the new album) and i like weezer (well, before they got the new guitarist and started to sound like blink-182). but by and large, the music i like is a little, erm, less-refined than the pretty-pop shit that becomes the soundtrack to MTV's the real world and various WB shows-for-teens.

second...
i'm not a pedophile. the guy that andrew mentions here wasn't actually 12 years old. he was some undergrad standing in front of his house talking on his phone. and he was cute. but i'm, like, old and have no business checking out undergrad boys. but i do because, well, face it, friends -- we all check out the undergrads.

third...
i do NOT only post about football and cats on the greatest blog ever of all times. it's just that it happens to be football season and i just got a kitten. and notre dame football is fantastic and cats are hilarious. and besides, it's spelled "looney toon" as in "cartoon". duh.


woo-ee! i hope i always get to be the guest blogger around here! it's like bringing down the establishment from the inside!

xo,
emily
