At least one of the classic rock stations in LA plays Love. (100.3, "The Source")

Not heavy rotation, but still.

ILXors lining up to name all the black rock musicians they know definitely proves that classic rock radio stations are racist

Electric Light Orchestra's "Roll Over Beethovern"

That one guy from the Doobie Brothers.

The Beatles with Billy Preston

Rolling Stones "Harlem Shuffle"

no frisson left here for liking big & rich: this is ilx country

Playing the Blues Brothers "Soul Man" instead of Sam & Dave is one of my greatest peeves! It's such an inferior version! And it's totally racist!

Haha, swear to god I used to backsell it as "And we started things off with The Blues Brothers and their inferior version of 'Soul Man". Coming up, Steve Miller, Heart and Billy Squier..."

I get the feeling that if a white kid had told the interviewer his favorite band was One Direction, it wouldn't have been spelled like that.

But maybe the ESPN producer was old and tired, I don't know.

they should provide an infographic comparing japan and pennsylvania in different categories

Maybe it's a One Direction tribute band.

I may never recover from Wandai Wrection

better than Owned Erection i suppose

consult a doctor if it lasts longer than four hours

o lord

that was my forks-style joke I am glad you like it

I was o lording at the op but i liked yours as well

I saw the introductory bit on ESPN and it's surprising how many of them name Yu Darvish as their favorite player. Not a single mention of Ichiro. I tell ya, the kids these days.

Wandai Wrection

omg

When 1D first came together the Twitterati called them WAND ERECTION.

oh

my god

This is all sorts of fabulous.

dear rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

every time i have heard someone quote will smith's most memorable line in "independence day", 1. it has always been a white person and 2. they always say "welcome to earf." or "welcome to urf." or "welcome to erf." i've seen it stylized many different ways.

i watched "independence day" on the TBS a couple nights ago for probably the first time since it was in theaters, and, to my surprise, the line is not "welcome to earf" at all!

like that isn't even close. i just thought you should know.

there's a heavy exhalation after the t tbf

i think this is probably v common when -- i dunno, non-black people or just people who don't speak AAVE -- quote black ppl who speak AAVE. entirely standard pronunciations are transformed. it's like the old white man who seriously thinks young black men say "yo" multiple times every sentence, except it's really just young people rapping along with their favorite kanye song and making him sound less suburban

it doesn't help that it looks like she's laughing into a cellphone

and that it looks like a mashup of two stock photos

Is it racist that a white Pitchfork writer asks a black rapper "Chicken or shrimp?"

http://pitchfork.com/features/guest-lists/9217-2-chainz/

iirc doesn't the cookbook included in the CD version have both recipes for chicken and shrimp?

real question is does it have recipes for BEEF

i think it's mostly chicken and shrimp and veggies

I think one has a sausage though

2 chainz has a cookbook now?
