Worst Songs Out Now

AKA sounds that makes me sick…

1. LCD Soundsystem – “North American Scum”

   Lo-Fi electro garbage. James Murphy’s whiny, haphazard vocals and cutesy lyrics make me want to kill myself for living within such close proximity to the laboratory where he cooks up this derivative, hipster disco schlock.

2. Avril Lavigne – “Girlfriend”

   “I’m a motherfucking princess”? Rancid, but nothing new…

3. Gwen Stefani – “The Sweet Escape”

   Used to have love for this LAMB…Now she’s in the same realm as Furtado and Fergie. R&B-lite with lyrics about refrigerator doors…

4. Nine Inch Nails – “Survivalism”

   With Teeth all over again. Weak. None of the Early NIN fire…But the video does have a shot of two dudes in bed together…

5. The Rapture – “Pieces of the People We Love”

   Oops, I mean, The Crapture. Another dance-punk dud from our pathetic decade in music.

6. Fallout Boy – “This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms Race”

   This doesn’t deserve any kind of pithy comment.

7. Katharine McPhee – “Over It”

   Auto-Tune OD.

8. Red Hot Chili Peppers – “Snow (Hey Oh)”

   Will Anthony Keidis ever write a new vocal melody?

9. TBD

10. TBD
