Google is scary

So I was asking Google about a band I just heard of called Stars. When I typed in 'stars music,' Google responded 'stars set yourself on fire'. Now it turns out Set Yourself On Fire is the Canadians' third record released in 2004, but if you didn't know that would you suspect that Google just got uncharacteristically mean spirited? Is it only me? What did Stars ever do to Google?

Anyway I have definitely found my new snarky response. I can't wait to put it to use. Example:

Future roommate Nate: Hey, Tim, do you want to go see The House Bunny this weekend?
Tim: Set yourself on fire.

Perfect.

While I'm on new music, if you're interested check out Foals, Jose Gonzales, Weezer, and my new favorite Stephen Malkmus, formerly of Pavement.
