Hmm. I usually quite enjoy those anal journo lists, but that one was just shite. My candidates:
Music journalists. (says the wannabe)
"Playlists" and wankers with i-pods at parties who won't even let a song, never mind an album, play from start to finish.
Cocaine. Apart from a couple of rather amusing Fleetwood Mac albums, this drug has done nothing good for popular music. (Crack´s alright though. We wouldn't have so many classic Ol Dirty Bastard records if it wasn't for crack)
English people who sing in American accents.
American people who sing in English accents.
New York and London. The two cities who used to produce the best bands in the world now, as a rule, produce the worst. See three previous entries for some reasons reasons why.
People who think they can DJ. (Except me, I really can. I'm deadly. Give me half a chance and I'll wreck your party)
Pop music from any countries in Europe except the UK and Ireland. Notable exceptions: French hip hop and German techno, both of which are class.
Hippies. (bongos, chants, didgeridoos, prog rock triple albums; fuck right off.)
Morrisey. (not him per se, just all the whinging emo saps that he spawned)
Bono. Everyone loves Bono. Bono is a wanker. Stick to singing, there's a good lad.
All the rubbish folk/country/jazz/dancehall/techno/metal/jungle/etc music out there that puts people off so you never hear the good stuff.
Actors who sing, singers who act. Except Tom Waits.
Techno remixes of any song recorded before 1980. Euro-trance version of "California Dreaming"? Mmmm, yes please, sounds fantastic! "The Fields of Athenry" redux? Ooh, gimme! You know someone's tripped a bad taste switch somewhere when people are sampling "strange fruit" for their shite jazzy house tunes.
Radio Stations. And the coppers who shut down all the pirates.
Right-ho, that's my dos centavos! Successfully whiled away an irritably hungover half hour there, nearly time to go watch some badly-dubbed movie in a barful of noisy israelis, so i might well be back to rant even more in a couple hours. Ciao bud
Yes that list is toilet and yes Shane you can do better... I'm in aggreement for the most part.. might I be so bold to add a few for your consideration.
Dickheads who blast the aforementioned bad Euro Electro shite from their suped up Seat Ibiza's as the sun glistens and reflects in their highlighted mullets... wankers.
Raggaethon.... by jesus it's terrible!
Morrissey.... yes him per se.... whinging tosser!
People who thank God at award shows... he doesnt watch them I'm pretty sure
Whoever is encouraging Alicia Keys and Eryka Badu to do this warbling shite that theyre doing recently.... just write songs like you used to girls for fuck sake!
Whoever cured Adam Duritz of Depression..... bastard.. he wrote great songs when he was unhappy, now we get shrek soundtracks!
The rights to the Beatles songs.... I dont give a shite, they're over rated anyway!
American pop punk.... where are the new Chili's, Pearl Jams, Soundgardens etc going to come from when kids are actually taking Simple plan seriously!
I'm sure there is more to come but that's it for now
