Thanks for the feedback about Ys. I really did try to enjoy it, but it just wasn't happening. I still own the CD, so maybe one day I will try again. I mean, I liked the textures, but could not stand the compositions.

It's a combination of all those things and then some. Genre lists, random recommendations, albums that just looked cool at some point, a few things that I have no clue where they came from...you get the idea.

Hey, thank you for the compliment! I hoped folks would get the gag.

I've got to say, I don't know who I am skewering either. It just, in my head at least, seemed enormously appropriate at the time.
