i hope somebody at the site will get a laugh from someone having searched "lana del rey bellinis"

I’ll admit, while observing this backlash with disdain, there was a small and shameful slither of excitement and curiosity within me, which relished the fracas.
― da croupier, Thursday, 12 June 2014 18:54 (nine years ago) link
I don't get why someone would Google "bellinis" unless you're like "Oh, it's summer, I need cocktail ideas for my Bobby Flay bbq."

a bellini is a perfectly serviceable drink but it will always make me think first and foremost of paul bellini from the kids in the hall.

Those quotes kind of sounds like the writer just watched the movie Somewhere instead of actually going anywhere.

I went through a very short Bellini phase around 1998 when I got bored of brunchtime mimosas for a few months

heard of the post-Don Caballero band Bellini after Paul Bellini but before the drink Bellini.
― intheblanks, Thursday, 12 June 2014 21:23 (nine years ago) link
Bellini was a good band.

bellinis >>>>> mimosas

A bellini sounds like a fucking cod-Italian slang word for the glans. As in "suck my bellini".

The music Richie played was earnest and emotional, more reminiscent of Barry Manilow than Barry Gordy

count the number of times he alludes to the music's race!

Dunno if yr knocking my poor syntax or what, but if so, make that "worst piece of writing that I've seen linked in this thread." Criticizing poor writing with more poor writing is admittedly LOL, but hey, no one's paying *me* for this shit.

Back in 2004, when Richie, now 64, was at perhaps the nadir of his career, I interviewed him before a gig in Stuttgart, Germany. I asked if he'd had a dream the night prior, and whether it was awesome.

It remains to be seen whether history will be as generous to Obama, but odds are it will. As president, he's played the long game, confident his legacy will overcome any passing peccadilloes. He, like Lionel, has dreamed globally, viewing the world not in black-and-white, but in beautiful shades of beige. Fiesta forever, indeed.

I'd given him the benefit of the doubt and assumed he was referring to some obscure artist. There must still be some residual respect for the Voice floating around my brain somewhere.

this is the guy responsible for the 'black pop stars who should go country' piece that the vmg higher-ups slapped up on the voice's music blog immediately after my firing. good to know he's still churning out 'quality' 'content'

Think the guy meant "Barry Geordie," the John Barry of Newcastle.

Maybe should have just made that a screenname instead of a post, as is my wont.
