Yup — now, THOSE are some amazing artists, masters of that sublime and sinuous groove that line and enliven my collection but I sure would LOVE to hear them here on RP...

Is there any song which would make that scenario pleasant?  I can certainly think of many which would be far worse than this.  Good tune.

An excellent transition from Gorillaz. This is the tripe trip. This 60's rehash adds nothing with loops and electronic drums. Ugh. A great example of a 1.

Oh crap. Now I have a mental image of Beck starring opposite Ellen Page in "Juno." Beck as pedophile. Thanks a bunch. I'll NEVER get that out of my head.

Of which Cruise and Travolta are also members. So what... you're never going to view any of their movies? I personally don't agree with the views, opinions, morality, or politics of many popular artists. That doesn't prevent me from enjoying their work, however.

The exception is when I pay to attend a concert and am subjected to their line of patter "from the pulpit." The last time that happened (Ray Manzarek), I requested—and got—two free passes to a future event from the venue promoter.
