The Morning Benders are also playing, but we didn’t want to cover up anymore Walken.

Ethan - nods silently, listening intently to Flaming Lips Embryonic
Chris - “What if I just went to the store, bought some supplies, and made some nachos?”

Five minutes of silence.

here’s an example of a blog post I would never write #3
2009 has been a great year for music reviews! Music blogs have stayed on top of indie-centric news bytes and have given more free downloads than ever before! Some highlights in 2009: Jay-Z was at a party!!!!!!!! !!!! Neil Young is not as young as his surname suggests anymore! Billy Blanks Jr came out of his father’s shadows to create Cardioke, an intense cardiovascular workout that involves singing, dancing, and not Tae-Bo!!! The best rap song of the year was a parody of a rap song?!! U2!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As the year comes to a close, it is time for magazines/blogs/famous people to compile their opinions into a list and display them so people can comment angrily. We here at Terrible are breaking new ground. Behold my top 10 list for Best “Best Albums of 2009 Lists” List. I am aware that the year is not completely over, but in order to be first, you have to skip a month or two.
1 Pitchfork - They get it right every year. No exceptions. No surprises. #1? Animal Collective - stick a pitchfork in it. It’s done.
2 Entertainment Weekly - I didn’t even realize music was still entertainment until I read their list.
3 Gorilla Vs Bear - Neon Indian was in the top 10 4 times, I’m not sure how or why.
4 Decibel - I understand they are a metal publication, but in order for their list to truly count, it has to say “Top 40 metal albums of 2009″. Otherwise, we know they are lying.
5 NME - Pete Doherty wrote this one, right? And to Q magazine, the other British list: what is a Kasabian and where can I get one?
6 Spin - The only thing that will be spinning is my head when they drop their Top 10.
7 Stereogum - Even though there list is for 2010 (they operate much like car companies) I have to admit that they are right about a lot of the leaked versions of those albums.
8 Jay-Z/Kanye West - Whatever their lists are going to be, I am curious to see where they put the Blueprint 3 and 808s and Heartbreaks, respectively. I am well aware 808s came out in 2008. I don’t expect it to matter to Kanye. Do you?
9 Rolling Stone - Stoked to see what my dad thinks about the state of music.
10 http://emomaniac.com/ - If they make a list, I will check out every band on there. And that’s a promise.
