For some reason, I've been thinking of songs about rats. How about "Great King Rat" from Queen or "Rat Salad" from Black Sabbath?
Avatar 7:52am Wild Neil:

Dear Ken,
Please play Dirty Beaches. Is that the right thematic choice for your show? Or should it be much rowdier? If not Dirty Beaches then something from the new Can singles release.
Avatar 8:30am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Dreigroschenoper, „Das Lied von der unzulänglichkeit des menschlichen Strebens“, a.k.a. "Song of the Futility of All Human Endeavour", a.k.a. "Song of Uselessness". Jim Dale did a good version of it in a 2006[?] revival, but I've never heard a bad one….

I canceled NYT a couple years ago after one of their editors wrote this and they actually published it:

"I often hear from readers that they would prefer a straight, neutral treatment — just the facts. But The Times has moved away from that, reflecting editors’ reasonable belief that the basics can be found in many news outlets, every minute of the day. They want to provide `value-added' coverage." - www.nytimes.com...
