Comments on: Wow. http://www.theagitator.com/2012/02/26/wow-24/ It rankles me when somebody tries to tell somebody what to do.

FWIW, I figured that out when I was 10.

Radley – I saw your post linking the Dan Auerbach article. Are you friendly with him? Let him know he has a 10-year fan of the Black Keys reading your blog, and congrats on their well deserved success. I had to laugh when I saw them on ‘Live from Abbey Road’, and said that they felt that they had ‘made it’ when they had $500 in their pockets after 3 weeks of sleeping in a van on a bar tour of Ohio.

When the whine is part of somebody’s personal style (and they actually have one), that’s one thing. In Boy Idol Of The Month it’s an annoying affectation, and grounds for keelhauling.

I my younger days there were the Violent Femmes. Not pop stars, but definitely had the nasally teen-angst whine. And still awesome.

For primus.

OK, I get it. You’re a teen, and nobody understands how you feel. We’ve all been there, but some of us had the grace not to sing about it!

*mutter*
