Fun boxes and Top 10 lists are little speedbumps that make the ride a bit more fun and less of an endurance race. Still, criticism often flies our way. And that's great.

It just so happens that many major label releases are shallow and boring. But it also happens to be true that thousands of independently released CDs suck.

Virgin alone egests enough dogshit to warrant accompanying new releases and promo sheets with tiny poop scoopers. It would be a bold move.
