You know someone to whom this applies
I heard you have a compilation
Of every good song ever done by anybody
Every great song by the Beach Boys
All the underground hits
All the modern lovers' tracks
I heard you have a vinyl
Of every Niagra record
And german import
I heard that you have a wide label
Of every center-of-Detroit techno hit
'85, '86, '87
I heard that you have a CD compilation
Of every good 60's cat
And another box set for the 70's
I hear you're buying a synthesizer
And arpeggiator
And throwing your computer out the window
Because you wanna make something "real"
You wanna make a jazz record
I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars
And bought turntables
I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables
And bought guitars
I hear that everybody you know
Is more relevant
Than everybody I know...

Bah. I rest my case.
