Everyone knows that music has charms to soothe a savage breast, but few have read the rest of William Congreve’s line, which claims it can also “soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak,” and so, in these times of breast-beating savagery, heads full of stones, and tangles in desperate need of unknotting (times to try men’s and women’s souls, one might say), there is still a vital place for music in our lives. And so, here are my picks for the 10 best jazz albums of 2016, followed by the year’s four best previously unissued old treasures.

why did you censor the word faggot in your post like we don't know what word you were using...
― J0rdan S., Monday, 19 December 2016 17:19 (seven years ago) link
the post was penned to create the illusion of an idiotic hick (also note the intentional mispelling), but the irl whiney didn't want to risk an ironic slur being irl triggering
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 19 December 2016 17:21 (seven years ago) link
the practice of typing an asterisk in the place of one vowel when typing a slur doesn't originate with whiney tbf, it's a baffling practice to me but that's for another time mebbe

i honestly toyed with the phrasing of the post to find the right combo of "ignorant disdain for coastal elites" to juxtapose with "having opinions on william congreve" and I couldn't find something that was as concisely effective at conveying ignorance as misspelling a homophobic slur
