    Default I haven't been here for a while....

    And i also haven't listened to the radio in a while.
    But, i do have copies of Rolling Stone and Spin in front of me everyday, and when i go out, i hear songs.
    So, i would like punch the following artists/bands in the nuts, if applicable.

    John mayer: I thought he would be gone. 3 years ago, i went to college, and the college girls loved him, and we'd have our guitars, and some future alcholic, mother of 6 with no husband would yell "Play your body is a wonderland!" without fail. But yknow, i figured they would leave college, and stop listening too him. He infected high school proms though, allowing his fame to stay. According to US weekly,which is next to Spin on the magazine rack, he is also banging jessica simpson, which is apprently why he is still famous...i'm not sure why she's still famous.
    I don't know if he has balls though, so i can't punch him in them.

    Panic at the disco: I warned you all, on this board! When they started calling Weezer emo, before emo guys started wearing their girlfriends jeans, i said "See? Nerd rock, i can take that, but this is going to get worse!" And then Dashboard came out, and now it morphed into this travesty.

    You look like the gay Beatles!
    From left to right you have
    Intense sissy, Tough sissy, random sissy, fat sissy who i bet you plays bass, and may be a woman.
    I hate them more because their first single made me laugh, not because it was the worst thing i ever heard, but because it was actually funny.

    James Blunt: Ok, yeah, my girlfriend loved Your Beautiful, it was non offensive and you are less annoying then john mayer. But you are still the english version of John Mayer, and you better not stay famous for as long as him.

    Thom Yorke: I love Radiohead, unless someone new came on this board, im probably still CBR's biggest Radiohead fan. But The Eraser is all the things people said Kid A was, that i called them idiots for saying. Thom, your voice is not the right voice for dance music, you can't mumble over noises you made on your mac and call it an album. Make the rest of the band come in the studio with you, this album sounds like the music a robot would make, if the robot was designed to build cars and hate music.

    Jibbs: I had to look up jibbs to find who did his, or their song. I generaly don't complaign about quasi rap, it has it's place, i don't know anything about rap post 1996, so i tend to not comment at all. But the moment you start sampling nursery rhymes and childrens songs, is the moment you need to stop putting out albums.
    Also, when looking up who did the song, they including the lyrics
    "(Do your chain hang low
    do it wobble to da flo
    do it shine n n the light
    iz it platinum iz it gold
    could u throw it ov'r ya shoulda
    if ya hott it make ya cold
    do your chain hang low) "
    I know thats how the song sounds, but there are only 15 actual words in the chorus, but there are many more then 15 noises in it, that are coming out of someones mouth, and that ain't right.

    This is only three examples, someone, please...Crocker even, tell me there is some moderatly new band that isn't completly insipid, because i can't listen to nothing but Led Zeppelin for much longer.

    Well, I can't help with new music but hey modern popular music hs a long history, I'm sure you could find something from all those years that you aren't familiar with yet.

    I'm afraid I have to go to bat for John Mayer here. Now I don't like his first couple of albums that much, but his live record "Try!" is really good. It's just trio (bass, guitar, drums) and he does some Hendrix covers. Underproducing and classic rock covers would be the kiss of death for most pop artists. I like the fact that he's going more 'bare bones'.

    And the Jessica Simpson thing was a fluke and didn't last very long at all. Hopefully he just banged her and never called her back.

    Wow, I didn't know there was another Radiohead fan on the boards besides me.
    this album sounds like the music a robot would make, if the robot was designed to build cars and hate music.
    Ah! Guess there isn't.

    Interpol seems to have a pretty fresh sound.

    Try! is an outstanding album. John Mayer could make happy pop music (a la his first couple albums) for the rest of his life and still have my respect, because he produced Try!.
    Praise be to Nero's Neptune,
    The Titanic sails at dawn,
    And everybody's shouting,
    "Which Side Are You On?"

    And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot,
    Fighting in the captain's tower,
    While calypso singers laugh at them,
    And fishermen hold flowers.
    Between the windows of the sea,
    Where lovely mermaids flow,
    And nobody has to think too much,
    About Desolation Row.

    Alex, it just hasn't been the same without you.

    Even Citizen King is gone. The music board is like a whole 'nother place now.
