come to think of it "singer/songwriter" might become useful again eventually, it just isn't right now (heh except as in "nah, [x*] sucks; i'm into introspective singer/songwriters like eminem etc")
(*makes most sense if [x] = eg.destiny's child, but has greater potential if [x] = eg.wilco)
actually if it's meant derisively "s/s" is useful for exactly the reasons it sticks in my craw

Snarfing is "the act of sniffing a bicycle seat after a lady has just been seated upon it"
-- Jerry (everet...)February 13th, 2003. (Jerry)
i always thought snarfing was when you laugh when you're in the middle of drinking and it comes out your nose,no?
-- robin (robin_lace...), February 13th, 2003. (robin)
I'm sure there are snarfing e-groups on Yahoo.
-- Vic (Iodine99...), February 13th, 2003. (Vic)
Dagnabbit! I thought I had found a usage of "snarfing" in a song. It turns out I haven't but I feel I'm closing in. My misheard lyric comes courtesy of Ed Sanders and Ken Weaver from the Fugs album "It Crawled Into My Hand, Honest": the track is track 7 on side two of the LP--"We're Both Dead Now, Alice."
We're both dead now. No more ViceroysNo more K-YNo more slurpings at the narthaxAll is over Over the lee.
If anyone has used Snarf(s/ed/ing) in a song, it has to be the Fugs.

here's an excerpt of a review on stylus today:
While searching for information regarding Camille's Le Fil, the most frequent description you’ll run into is that the album is "the French pop equivalent to Björk's Medúlla." A bit troubling, considering that the Matthew Barney stroke-a-thon is one of the most pretentious, unlistenable albums of the last five years.
ooh, the pretentious/unlistenable double whammy! i've heard medulla plenty of times now and i can't say it's ever occured to me to describe 45 minutes of sound as "unlistenable."

Obviously it's forgivable to discuss blogs if you're talking about the marketing of a band, (which itself is quite overdone as a story these days), but it doesn't say one thing about the music, and it's always used to seem *in-the-know* but blase while avoiding actually saying anything new about the artist.
