Easy Questions

Since I listen to NPR on the morning and evening drive and like it, I'm bummed that its music blogs are so dumb. I admire Carrie Brownstein, but her Monitor Mix and the All Songs Considered blog try to get elicit response by asking people for their pet peeves, and overlooked songs, and albums due for reissue, and music-themed amusement park rides. It works, but wouldn't it be better if smart people like Brownstein, Bob Boilen and Robin Hilton actually put interesting thoughts into the world for people to consider and respond to?
