The wisdom of The Hall continues to amaze me. For as many knowledgeable individuals who dazzle with their rock knowledge, it is the collective<\/em> wisdom of our participants that I find most dazzling.<\/p>\n

It is in this spirit that I want to allow for further amazement—not only for<\/em> the people but by<\/em> the people. I was going to try to turn this into my own original post, maybe even do a few minutes of research on the Web, but then I thought better of it. Instead, I’d like to pose a question to the collective wisdom of The Orockle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The question I’d like to pose – and one that I hope will inspire other questions we’d like to have asked when we had more time to find the answers ourselves – will follow a little bit of background. Read on, please.
\nEver get the feeling you’re not only not cool but no longer capable of recognizing cool<\/em> if it walks right up to you? I’d been hearing about some band called Owl City<\/strong>, seeing their name posted on blogs here and there, maybe hearing them referred to in conversations. For some reason, maybe because of the folk art-style sketch on a pale blue background album cover that their name suggests, I thought they were part of today’s cool<\/em> music scene. Then I heard their hit song, and now I’m completely confused about what is cool.
