Just do it.

I'm listening to one of my iTunes libraries appropriately known as "Crazy iTunes" and a track by Flossie & the Unicorns comes up randomly. The track is called "Free Guitar Lessons For Animals" and it's just as nutty as you'd think by the band's name and the track's title. F&tU are very loosly a band in normal terms, as they're run by an artist who's a puppet-show maven and the album, "LMNOP," could easily be the soundtrack to a really great, whacked-out puppet show.

So as I often do, I google F&tU to read a bit about them. No surprise that the Amazon page selling the album comes up. I click on it and begin to read the "reviews." Oh man.

I wish that 90% of the people who feel compelled to review everything under the sun would, um, fucking NOT. Opinions are like ... oh you know the rest. Seriously, though, a non-professional review of a juicer ("thing did not frikkin' JUICE too good") might come in handy, and a fan's review of the new Ween release ("better than "Chocolate and Cheese"") might be worth looking into for oneself, but the reviews of "LMNOP" were not handy or helpful. Rather, they pissed me off.

A few of my least fav: "I could have made this record. Literally. At least twenty of the little sound effects used here can be found on my Casio keyboard ... " Uh ... then shut up and make it, buttwipe. "I can honestly say this is the worst music I have ever listened to in my entire life. My 3 year old brother could make better music than this." Uh ... lighten up and change it. Yr not being forced to listen to it, are you? And especially: "i thought that this had something to do with the unicorns ..." Do yr frikkin' homework, stupid.

I'm the kinda guy that flicks the song off if it sucks. I don't pen hate mail. Who has the time? Just sayin' ...
