the daily feh

While we're on the subject of bands that need to crawl off and die, I'd like to nominate The Band. Yes, I know they're long gone, but that just seems to increase their air time. How can any sentient life form hear "Cripple Creek" at this point and not feel an overwhelming impulse to bolt for the nearest cliff?

Then there's that radio station on Cape Cod that apparently considers it their divinely-ordained mission to play everything James Taylor releases. I am told that he lives there, so perhaps that's the excuse, but there is no excuse.

Update: They are also preternaturally fond of Carly Simon. And Joni Mitchell. And Coldplay. Ghastly. Why no Yanni?
