You Know What Part

"Let us think the unthinkable, Let us do the undoable, Let us prepare to grapple with ineffable itself, And see if we may not eff it after all." Douglas Adams

Flamewar on… Amazon?

I know authors pump and dump books on Amazon all the time with literati dick-waving, but I had no idea the fanboys were in effect as well. (Never thought I’d write a sentence with literati, dick-waving, and fanboys all in one sentence, did yah?)

Apparently, all you need to breed such humorous banter as this is a Pixie’s tribute album.

i’m sure that weezer is really upset that they didn’t get as many stars on the rollingstone website that the pixies did, i mean when they count their money all the way to the bank, im sure they really regret not kissing rollingstone’s ass.

Yeee haw! Sales are the true measure of a band, mate! Nevermind that the Pixie’s are generally considered a pretty solid band (one which could quite possibly take credit for thinning the emo ranks now and then, as well).

I’ve never heard the album, but I suspect the reviews on Amazon are more entertaining anyway. Read through more of them on the extended reviews… great stuff.

Sidenote: Someone at Weezer’s fan club must have pointed to this, because they are way over-represented here.
