Rachel Ray is cool?
 

I pegged her for a square. its honestly surprising.

whoa

Racheal's husband is a musician. And she's always been a huge music afficionado. Which is how they got together.

And she's smart, young, and unconventional. I'm not surprised.

I knew she was cool when I saw her on those $40 a Day show trips sampling all the beer in the brew pubs.

rachel ray is probably the most annoying person in tv right now.

yeah, how cool is she "ohh i 'listen' to bands pitchfork lick their asses".

She's not that great. Cooks simple shit, I could do. Fuckin' salsa and chips?

i didnt know gmku.

neurotic, i dont give a shit about pfork, but she likes Battles and Holy Fuck, and so do i

sorry to burst your bubble, but most people who started liking battles a year ago, don't really listen to them (they just say they like them, have the album on their ipod but it would be exagerating if they have listened to the whole thing twice).

Oh fucking WHAT?! My God, aren't we Mr. Fucking Hipper than Thou Because I Don't Read Pitchfork.

I who just started listening to them last year bought Mirrored on vinyl because I love it so much, and I've put it on tape because I listen to it so much I don't want to wear out the record. & I don't own an iPod.

Wow. Overgeneralize much?

What's your problem. If she came out and said she liked the Rolling Stones or U2, you'd be all bothered about that, too.

Yeah, her show's simple and goofy, but she'd got some charm. And she made it on her own, basically creating her own show and getting into the big leagues by a lot of hard work. I cannot fault her for a thing.

Plus she drinks in brew pubs. As she would say, "How cool is that?!"

i'm not getting worked up, it's just that because she likes hipster-approved music doesn't make her cool. i would have been impressed if she had invited espers or islaja to that thing.


so did oprah, dr phil, montel williams, etc.

...anyhoo, i hope i didn't touch a nerve there, gmku, i know you're not a poser and you truly like battles. it's just unbelievable that a little more than a year ago nobody knew who battles are and now everybody is like "omg they are the best!!"

i always thought she was cute and fuckable when she did those shows-- and a cheap date on top of that-- what was not to like?

now that her face is plastered in every supermarket checkout i feel a little sorry for her. but whatever. i'm not bitter or anything.

Im not 'most people' ... check my last.fm bitch

i didn't say you were most people, actually, i'm pretty sure most everyone in the board are on the clear here, since battles talk started well before mirrored was released.

my buddy from LA told me about them back in 05... there. is my 'cred' straight? :-p

The amount of artists who have listened to only once makes me feel sad.

haha... i listen to them more than once... not everything is on my computer.

I can certainly understand that. I've been there many, many, many times throughout the years with bands I thought only I liked and that become big news. It's a danger inherent in being a true music fan.

ewwww indie bands that have come out within the last ten years
gag

rachael ray is fucking gross, annoying, and she cant cook for shit

Haha, yeah. I listen to a lot of stuff that doesn't get logged. Like today, it doesn't seem to be scrobbling.

I'd rather fuck Ingrid Hoffman.
