If you feel like adding a 30-second audio clip of some farm animals orgasming in the middle of your song, that's a-ok by progressive standards. Hell, it's even encouraged. Literally anything you can record a sound of is welcome in progressive rock. Except autotune. Read more: http://www.cracked.com/funny-2359-progressive-rock/#ixzz2LNtW58c9

Reuters?  Reads like an Onion headline.

The Onion is a satirical newspaper.

Discovering The Onion for the first time is a blessed event.

The Onion used to have a weekly feature that was always my favorite, but I don't think they do it anymore.  It was called "What do YOU Think?", and they would pose a current events opinion question and get answers from "everyday people on the street", that kind of news.   The answers to the question were always hilarious, and for some reason they always used the same 5 or 6 pictures to depict the people, though their names changed each time.  I miss that feature.
