Now I love the Replacements, LOVE them, but what the hell is going on with Stereogum these days? To badly paraphrase Bill Paxton "Maybe you haven't been keeping up with current events, but why haven't you been keeping up with current events?" Seriously, did Lana Del Rey die or something? What happened to actual news about music?
Song's not bad and I love the Fraggle Rock business but what is Anna Kendrick doing in this video? Does she have a standing order with her agent to get her into anything that has to do with Fraggle Rock or something?
This list freaking stupid. This isn't how much they're worth, not how much they have in the bank. Going through how much a person makes over the course of their life is hardly interesting when you're talking about an industry where there are people making (and spending) multiple millions in a year. Are we supposed to think Ringo has 300 million dollars in a bank account somewhere?
Does anyone really think that Steve Adler has even one dime of that 15 million he made while he was with Gn'R?
But for reasons that could be called a double standard it doesn't bother me so much that a local commercial for a YMCA stole a song. But Pizza Hut and Home Depot? Fuck those corporate bitches, yo.
I can't believe Stereogum keeps forgetting to honor these guys, but...

It's the 12 years and 270 days anniversary of music coming original! Make sure you all take some time outta your day to hear why.
I disagree with him big time about how it is "good" Spain plays so much like Barca. Barca declined in form this year because everyone figured out how to play their ticki-takka style of football (which by coincidence is very boring to watch, pass-pass-pass-pass some more-pass-pass-pass-think about shooting the ball-then pass). The Spain team isn't performing as well with a similar lineup in previous competitions for this same reason.
Finally, someone is taking a stand in the long and horrible Blackmore/Greenwood fued... What the fuck? This is the dumbest shit ever to get pissed off about I've ever seen. Was Billy Corgan on some thread on King Crimson's fan page when he got into a argument with a twelve-year-old about Johnny Greenwood? Then subsequently was so worked up he's gone on a crusade to tear Radiohead down a few notches? Who in their right mind would bring this up? Where did the comparison of Blackmore and Greenwood come from? What the fuck??????????????
