Hold On, We're Simple Or: a Pictorial Drake Song Debunking | Infographics

So I finally got around to using infogr.am, a wonderful site I found. I used it to show how Drake is just as horrible as I think he is for using "Hot love and emotion (endlessly)." I think it's a terrible line, and I hate that he used it. That doesn't mean I have a legitimate cause on which to hang my hat, but I'll try. And I'll use numbers to illustrate his impotence as a lyricist.

Music from the Point of View of an Unbeliever

I don't believe in music as a culture. I haven't willingly listened to the radio since I had a legitimate Sony Walkman, and even then I listened to more Prairie Home Companion than JT and the NSync crew. I hope this botched reference lets you know just how little I know about popular music. Sure, I've seen Wrecking Ball and the Nicholas Cage-face version of Wrecking Ball and the Kardynal/Chatroulette version of Wrecking Ball, but I haven't the foggiest idea what these kids are on about with their Thickes and their Minajes. (In order to formulate that reference, I had to Google "black female singer with crazy hair").

However.
Stephen Barry seems to be worried about my societal awareness and wants me to share in the music culture he swims. To this end (and with good intentions, I'm sure), he sends me a list of the top forty songs of the year. Last year, I slogged through in about ten months. This year, I'm going to attempt a betterment. Before, I merely listened, or listened and jotted some notes so I would have a feedback. Now, I'm going to develop a methodology that I will follow.

There are few things you'll be interested in. First, I can see in the dark, with the assistance of technology. Second, I can fly, but only a little. Third, and most importantly, I can love. And I do.
You should try it.
