Musicological banter

[kosmo vinyl]

there was that "red flag" meme on twitter last week and one of my "red flags" is always "there is no good new music" so I made a dumb tweet and a rebuttal playlist called "Swagger: Reloaded" because all these new bands rock hard

Some good stuff there. But I wouldn’t say they rock hard.

I am prone to exaggeration here 

As I twote “There are no new bands that Rock Out”

Years ago, Stephen Colbert tried to get "twought" (twaht) accepted as the past perfect.

i brought up Adams because "twote" reminded me of this passage from Restaurant at the End of the Universe about the complications that time travel introduces to verb tenses.  i remember tears streaming down my face from laughter the first time i read that, and people looking at me as if i was insane.

correct, but the above story was a rare instance when that assessment wasn't actually merited.

was great to hear from the crew in the back like Nico from Madien and Perkins from Janes
surprisingly Neil Peart got narry a mention
