Louder Than Bombs
Deadspin has a great thread on the Columbus-based band The Dead Schembechlers’ latest, “Bomb Ann Arbor Now,” which places them, along with us and Jay Nordlinger, among the most obsessive of Ann Arbor detractors. One Ann Arborite defends his city: “Ann Arbor, or ‘A2′ as it’s known among the hispter [sic] locals, is a very cool place with many Long Island undergrad beauties running around in track pants. The rest of Michigan isn’t that great, but A2 is a beautiful liberal paradise.”
“Long Island undergrad beauties running around in track pants”
I just threw up in my mouth a little.

I’m convinced, Michigan is paradise.

So *that’s* why you moved to Brooklyn! Here I thought it was just because hipsters love Brooklyn…

The irony is that the commenter would likely take it as a compliment.

I’m pretty sure that while this is a Smith’s album title (compilation) it is not a Morrissey lyric.
The album title came from a poem by Elizabeth Smart.

Perhaps the DKs waxed more appropriately for this post with “punk’s not dead it just deserves to die”?

Whatever. These idiots have never had to deal with the elitists that have overrun the city. Try talking to any of these hotties in their little pants. Try talking to any of them as if you’re both just humans. They dont’ SEE other people, they’re the poster children for entitlement and could give a rats ass about anyone but themselves. I”ve freaking had it lately. See my blog titled somethink like whats wrong with the UM students?
