What’s Wrong With Them – Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj – Nicki hit her height on “Monster” and here she is on the downside. Maybe she needs to zip it for a bit -the chorus is pretty good but everything is a little tired. There are all these hip hop guys mining the same formula and it is getting very old very fast.
Walk With Me – Neil Young – Can we please stop pretending this giuy has anything left to offer any one. Maybe I am wrong, maybe folks like Young and Bono and Vedder are really trying. Maybe they are just stuck in a rut and they can’t find a way out of it. This is dreadful.
River Runs Deep – Eric Clapton – People think I have something against the aging heroes of rock and roll because I am obsessed with the new. Maybe. But how does that explain this lethargic slowhander? It is painful, really it is. Plus? Clapton hasn’t been able to sing ever and only figured out how to make it work for him once (on Ocean Boulevard, pop pickers).
Na Na Na(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)- My Chemical Romance – No No No (No No No No No No No No No). Really. Comaped to The Black Parade? this ain’t much.
Right Thru Me – Nicki Minaj – Yeah, no. She can’t sing worth shit.
Grenade – Bruno Mars – Meet the new hit, same as the old one. It’ll hit but not as big because the chorus is a touch wonked out.
(Love Is Like A) Heatwave – Phil Collins – It is a little redundant to rail at this Karaoke inspired whatever. However, he would be better off keeping to the Mindbenders.
Hey Baby (Drop It To The Floor) (Feat T. Pain) – Pitbull – Finally. Absolute genius. I missed T. Pain, he should be the only person allowed to use Autotune. Pitbull has a career best year and beats out Nicki Minaj for MVP mostly because he is more consistent.
Dead American Writers – Tired Ponys – Tired doesn’t begin to describe this crap.
Abe Vigoda – Aren’t these guys meant to be hot shit? Who is it? Spoon?
Don’t Say Goodbye (feat Michael McDonald) – The Doobie Brothers – Has Mike ben learning on Donald in that supergroup thingy they had? This is the best song I have ever heard by these MOR AOR BAFs. dag, it is like FM Radio and like FM Radio of your dreams not of your memories -everything about this is sinking lush smooth jazz mellow drama especially the strings. TRACK OF THE WEEK.
