This blows. I left my computer at work tonight, so I can’t share the mix tape that I spent twenty painstakingly long minutes trying to compile this morning. I was supposed to post another “Covers! Covers! Covers!” mix, but oh well. Instead, I’m left to type this on Nicci’s computer, which I playful call “Sunday Crap Tape Treasure Chest” ever since I started writing this sentence. That said, this week’s Sunday Mix Tape Crap Tape probably needs no further introduction.
RULES for uninitiated noobs: With roughly 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I’ll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. This week I have been forced to substitute good music for bad music. Really, really bad music. All of which was lovingly provided by the love of my life, who I often like to chide for having horrible taste in music! All these songs were found (most of them unabashadly praised by Nicci) on her computer. Anyway, the goal of this endeavor, as always, is to pique your interest in these artists so you’ll support the artists and buy their albums. Or not.
Sunday Crap Tape #2
“Treasures From The Sunday Crap Tape Treasure Chest”
01. Pat Benatar – We Belong – What is this, 1982? Get a life.
02. Caribou – Sandy – Never heard of ’em, never want to hear of ’em again.
03. OK Go – A Million Ways – OK…No.
04. Tokyo Police Club – Citizens Of Tomorrow – Sounds like the worst Depeche Mode-inspired Weezer song ever written.
05. White Stripes – Icky Thump – Never understood this musical duo. But, then again, I’m often left wondering why people like really shitty bands.
06. The Little Mermaid – Part Of Your World – Disney? Shit.
07. The Black Ghosts – Full Moon – Apparently this song was in that vampire movie for tween girls. Hope these guys die before the sequel…
08. Rick Springfield – Jessie’s Girl – Loser’s music.
09. Pendulum – Propane Nightmares – I have nightmares where I live in a world with only really, really bad music like this crap.
10. Muse – Time Is Running Out – Turn down the Freddie Mercury a little bit, would ya? I’m getting homo chills.
11. Katy Perry – Ur So Gay – Thz sucks, 4 Realz.
12. Fall Out Boy – This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms Race – Sounds like an American Idol dork singing over the worst fuzzed-out douche rock. Which I guess makes it the worst thing ever.
13. Bruce Springsteen – Thunder Road – This is why I don’t tell people I’m from New Jersey.
14. Aerosmith – Same Old Song And Dance – This is why going to clubs in LA sucks. If you don’t want to see shitty hipster bands, shitty Aerosmith clones and shitty Black Crowes are your only other options. Ugh.
15. Delta Spirit – People C’mon – I’m pretty sure I’ve heard this song a hundred times before, and out of those hundred times, 98 of them sucked, but not half as much as this sucks.
16. CSS – Music Is My Hot, Hot Sex – Hopefully that sex will give you AIDS so I don’t have to hear your music anymore.
17. Cobra Starship – Kiss My Sass – Space disco rock for fat people? Check!
18. Cold War Kids – I’ve Seen Enough – Yeah, I liked Radiohead for a while too, but if you’re going to try and mimic them could you tone down the horribleness slightly?
19. The Manhattan Transfer – Boy From New York City – The appletini of “pop” music. Which is to say, there’s someone out there having a big black rubber dildo shoved up their ass to this music at this very moment, and he is loving every second of it.
20. The Weather Girls – It’s Raining Men – Great, now I want to shoot myself in the face.
