DO NOT WHOA, NELLIE, BUT RATHER GO LIKE THE WIND AND PUT OUT TWO ALBUMS A YEAR

I thought Kanye had Pazz & Jop on lock. He does not. He will have to beat Nellie McKay and this will not be easy, because she is stupid good. We are unsure, qua exclaimer, what to put Christ on (a glass pony? a stack of flapjacks? a tugboat?) but we need to say ________! [expression of momentary disequilibrium, shock and joy]
This woman is extra stupid good. She is possibly scary, twice-in-a-lifetime good. Too early to tell how long this will last (Television? Phair? Aerosmith?) but she already has a very large house in NoJokeville.
[And of Television: Why won't someone celebrate The Ponys? And why does he sound exactly like Tom Verlaine when he sings, the singing Pony?]
