February/March Round-up

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

It's April 1st, and definitely after midday so no foolin'. Time to recap and recount your findings and favourites:

[Poll #1376103]

As ever, 'new' is open to interpretation - if it's new to you, then that's perfectly acceptable. Discussions/2009 top-10-so-far lists in the comments are encouraged!

(Apologies for missing this poll last month - my workload is becoming increasingly huge so I barely have time to check LJ during the day at the moment.)

I think what we're looking for is the stuff so far beyond all civilised notions of quality that EVERYONE should be preparing to do battle against it. This thread (http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=41&threadid=71281#unread) should be a good starting point!

Maybe it should be a "who horrifies you most" poll. In a face-off between Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, La Roux, Asher Roth, Animal Collective, that hideous 3OH3 nonsense [you have seen this, right?], whoever those "Creature" dickheads are, and of course Dan Black, I...I just don't know. We're only in April. Surely that is TOO MANY ATROCITIES for one year? Oh yeah, and I forgot Florence & The Machine. *sobs for pop*

You know, Katy Perry is probably the LEAST annoying of that lot :o

Asher Roth makes me want to cry and cry and cry and cry. I hate that pop music has become the preserve of gossip blogs rather than OOH I DON'T KNOW, ACTUAL MUSIC. 'Omgz I luv Lady Gaga her style is awesome' makes me want to facepalm my way through the desk and I do actually quite like several of her songs.

3OH3 make Metro Station look really likeable. D:

I think if there's anything linking all these PEOPLE WHO NEED TO DIE, it's that they're all...making loud, obnoxious Statements About Art, and loudly, obnoxiously shoving their loud, obnoxious personalities to the forefront so you can't ignore what dickheads they are.

The Helen Keller line (repeated! twice! aaargh) in the 3oh3 song is definitely a nadir of life.

I'm not going to be around until late afternoon to hate on these...
