Somewhat inexplicably, their name keeps getting mentioned here, when to my ears, they're nothing but cookie-cutter, generic cheese-whiz R'n'B with nothing to offer the world but bitchy 'diva' behavior, cliched/overzealous vocal stylings and wretchedly stupid lyrics. Their new single, "Survivor" is not only cloying and numbingly repetitive, but it's just the rehash of the middle-eight of their *LAST* single, the equally-annoying "Say My Name." Why are people snowed by this watered-down pabulum? Are they really offering something that's new and different or even well-executed? Do they really have anything relevant to say beyond gratuitous self-aggrandized rhetoric? Didn't we hear all this stuff already in the form of the vastly superior En Vogue? Granted, Beyonce's a decent looking woman, but B.F.D.! PEOPLE, THEY'RE CRAP! RAISE YOUR STANDARDS...or convince me that I'm mistaken.

Been seeing this bizarre style crop up a lot lately --- the trend among hip-hop kids of wearing HALF of their shirt, with the rest sort've slung/worn over the shoulder (the left arm not in the appropriate sleeve). I think I first saw it in a Nelly video, but I could be mistaken. In any event, I'm now constantly seeing it in the street and on the subway, begging the question: WHAT GIVES?!?! How can that be considered (a) cool (b) practical (c) anything but utterly ridiculous? Big, baggy pants is one thing, but intentionally "half-wearing" a jersey? That's only slightly more ridiculous than the whole Kris Kross baloney of ten years back where they'd wear their clothes backwards.
Someone please defend/explain this to me.

For lack of anything better to read over a sincerely dubious plate of scrambled eggs this morning, I picked up the latest (i think) issue of NME at my local newsstand, featuring still-quite-dead Kurt Cobain on the cover. Vainly hoping to see some tiny news nugget about "Killing Joke back in the studio with a new lease on life after death" or even something about a genuinely *NEW* band that might pique my curiosity, I was instead inundated with page after page after page of "the legacy of Nirvana" and whatnot. Witness this completely idiotic quote from Alex White of some band called The Electric Soft Parade:
"Kurt Cobain was the king of teenage angst, and when he committed
suicide, he was instantly a legend. His death added to the romance and
mystique of his lifestyle. He's up there now having a jam with Morrison and Hendrix, with Keith Moon on drums!"
Now, for a start, I've never heard of the Electric Soft Parade (but I can tell already they're not big on originality based on their name), so maybe I should know better, but c'mon......"the romance and mystique of his lifestyle"?!?!?!?!? He was a loser from Aberdeen, Washington who wore flannel, did smack, bitched about stomach pains and played in a garage band that basically appropriated the work of several other bands.....WHERE'S THE ROMANCE & MYSTIQUE IN THAT? And don't even get me started on that claptrap about "jamming with Morrison, Hendrix and Moon"....what a load of shit. Fuckin' graveside groupies!
Moreover, for all this talk about how the two other thirds of Nirvana were battling with Courtney about "cashing-in" and "exploitation" and "properly serving Kurt's memory," between the media blitz over the
frankly-not-wildy-impressive "new" track ("You Know You're Right," appended to a best-of that contains no other surprises but tracks that even passive fans probably already have a couple of times over) and the glossily published tome of Kurt's diaries (and.....really.....what the fuck is that about? Do you really think the sad little man himself would have wanted that shit published?) I'm left with just a sickening aftertaste of hypocrisy and opportunism.
The only justice will be if the album (let alone the forthcoming box set) fails to chart as spectacularly as expected and slidesjustifiably into for-fans-only obscurity.

Just because it's healthy to vent.
What was the last bit of music you heard that you absolutely abhored? And why?
Mine: Scout Niblett (because, as I mentioned before, she makes the worst music in the world), Simple Plan's "I'd Do Anything" (because it made me ashamed to be a white male) and Celine Dion's duet with Anastasia on a truly ill-advised, fire-dishonoring cover of AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long," which simply made me shudder with contempt and made me regret having ears.

Maybe I'm completely mistaken, but I'd like to think I'm a reasonably open minded guy. I'm generally able to conduct myself like a mature adult when discussing otherwise sensitive topics such as politics, sex and religion, without making snap judgments or sweeping condemnations. HOWEVER, because my life is also governed by a pathological obsession with meaningless trivia, I tend to take some otherwise insignificant matters ENTIRELY TOO SERIOUSLY. For example, even if I'm connecting on an intellectual level and am engaged in a thoughtful discourse/exchange of ideas with someone and suddenly find out that they're a fan of......say.....Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston or maybe Puddle of Mudd, I INSTANTLY AND IRREVOCABLY LOSE ALL SEMBLANCE OF RESPECT FOR THEM! There is no disucssion. It ends there.
If you suffer from simillar blindsighted prejudices, who are the deal breakers for you? Which artists will make you write someone off without hope of redemption?

if american pop music was demonstrably different after a track than before a track and the difference can be directly attributed to the track than yeah i'd say it's fair to say a track "changed american pop music"; you can debate whether the impact was for good or ill but to deny it completely is willful ignorance on a bushco level. perhaps alex could do us a favor and note which musicians have actually cured cancer or perhaps he could stop bleating about how twenty five year old halfassed boring new wave cock rock records are the endall and beall of human accomplishment and maybe pull his tineared head out of his ass. as it is more and more he's becoming one of the denser members and bigger assholes of the time-warner empire (not an easy accomplishment since he had to beat out tucker carlson for the honor)(but alex does again and again, with ease and glee). oh, and fuck you too.

Yes, no, maybe
I don't know

You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
Life is unfair, so I just stare at the stain on the wall where
The TV'd been, but ever since we've moved in it's been empty
Why I, why I'm in this room
There is no point explaining
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
Life is a test, and I confess
I like this mess I've made so far
Grade on a curve and you'll observe
I'm right below the horizon
Yes, no, maybe, I don't know
Can you repeat the question?
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
You're not the boss of me now
