Thursday, the day of abomination

Let's talk about HATE, poptimists. It'll be therapeutic.

What horrible, terrible, reprehensible musical things have occurred thus far this year? Did The Saturdays covering 'Just Can't Get Enough' make you cry? Do The Lonely Island make you want to beat your own face in? Do you think Lady Gaga just hasn't received enough press coverage? Is The Dream overrated? Did Royksopp, in your opinion, shove out a massive log of POO? Have you heard that new single by The Enemy?

A post about ORGAFUN coming later, once we've ~expelled the hate.

OH GOD. Excellent call by martinskidmore re: Lil Wayne "goes rock." I'm sure I don't have to write the reasons 'Prom Queen' is NOT VERY GOOD AT ALL but will anyway-
1. It is not "rock," it is nu-metal if it's anything
2. URGH VOCODER when has that been a rock instrument
3. Lil Wayne's rap generally rocks at least a little bit; what he's created here is the IDEA of rock which is interesting (especially since it's not just his idea but probably a lot of rock's own idea of itself) without actually managing to harness his own rock.
4. V bad, no tick.
5. Altho I did once listen to it five times in a row and it holds a certain fascination.

vocoder went rock with PETER FRAMPTON

presumably he's still just using auto-tune thingy not actual vocoder (which would be and is always better, not that it would save 'prom queen' tho granted)

True. Also true: I rarely have any idea what the hell I'm talking about in this area.
