1 Don’t Knock (And I don’t Care) (Feat Brad Paisley) – Darius Rucker – Darius as a bad ass having a beer at 10 am? Indeed, does having a beer at 10am make you a bad ass. A stunningly useless country boogie not saved by a Paisley solo. Beyond belief.
Back To December – Taylor Swift – Taylor comes a cropper. The lyric, about the bloke from Twilight, is so personal it is simultaneously embarrassing and creepy. The song is a by rote ballad. Maybe the worst song, definitely the least melodic song she has ever written. An unmitigated disaster on every level. Also beyond belief.
Futile Devices – Surfan Stevens – They said he was hot stuff, give hime a shot, so I agreed and gave him a shot, He sucked. So they said give him another. So I gave him another. Still a dreary whimpering bore.
If You’re Gonna Be Dumb, You’ve Gotta be Tough – Karen O – Wore off me fast but the Jackass song is still a pretty sweet nursery while for arrested adolencents.
Falling In Love – Prefab Sproat – This is like a dream where you are back in High School. It’s like this sounds EXACTLY the same as it always deed. All four wheels good, though no “Appetite”. I guess it’s a tix to the shrimp and chip circuit in the UK. Really clever harp break somewhere in there.
Don’t Look Now – Far East Movement – For free on itunes… guessing “G6” took em by surprise. Keri Hilson sounds good as well as this not as good but not terrible modern r&b blueprint.
Is This Love – Corrine Bailey Rae – Pointless cover. Corrinne gives it her smooth jazz cover feeling but really I feel like I am stuck at an Airport Holiday Inn at 1am on Tuesday night too drunk to stumble to bed.
El Duro – Don Omar – Reggaeton? A little slow here though the tom toms are pretty good.
Universal Child – Annie Lennox – I can’t express the sheer horror of this awful, awful, uplifting, self promoting, pompous, self righeous, self important piece of crap.
The Only Hope For Me Is You – My Chemical Parade – What a load of old cobblers? He dicked around for five years for this? This? Gerard should be able to write this crap while under sedation and high on crack AT THE SAME TIME. He should be able to write this color by numbers intensely average MCR ON A FUCKING COMPUTER BY STICKING IN A COUPLA ALGORITHMS.
What Could I Be – Care Bears On Fire – Pretty good little rocker though i did buy another song and he sucked so it might be a one off.
I Just Wanna Party – Yelawolf – and Gucci Mane – Better than anything on the latest Gucci album, he abuses a cool sample (sounds like Ke$ha saying the title) and the two of em abuse her terrible. Both rappers are very, very funny, like LMFAO with much better rappers and much worse beats. TRACK OF THE WEEK
