MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

Rebecca Black annoys the fuck out of me. Not just because her music sucks, but because there's something annoying about her.

Also, can no one sing anymore? Why is EVERYONE autotuned?

Autotune is the new Phased Chorus. 

See Late 80s pop for examples.

She annoys me because in a world in which 3 billion people regularly miss meals, she had her mom pay for a vanity video.  Don't get me wrong, I'm all about having fun with what you've got, but that sort of conspicious consumption is right up there with having a yacht for every day of the week.

Yeah, especially when there are better ways to spend that money. Like music lessons.

That's NOT OK.

It's.....

It's ok that I want terrible things to happen to her right?

I mean, it was obnoxious as hell. The verses didn't even sound close to belonging with that chorus. The chorus was My Darling Clementine. What the hell is swagger jagger? I'm so confused.....

In the immortal words of Cher Lloyd "you're a hater, just let it go". 

Seriously though, despite not charting terribly well, that was one of the biggest hits of the summer in terms of airplay.  As I understand it, she was a reject from Simon Cowell's School of One Album Wonders, also known as X Factor. 

Speaking of which, I think it is very revealing about the music industry in the UK that Simon Cowell's chosen artist of the year will get the Christmas Number One (usuallly the biggest selling song of the year in terms of numbers), release an album and fade into obscurity.  So far, I can think of only two of his projects which have bucked the trend: Will Young, and Girls Aloud, who have gone on to have years of commercial and chart success, right up to the present.  It says to me Cowell is a genius businessman (I mean, monetizing the process whereby the music industry traditionally makes money is a brilliant move, honestly) but utterly pants at picking out bands and individuals who are worth long-term investment.

I've been through 3 avatars since then.  A punching bag, a heavily pierced guy with words on him, and now a swallow tattoo.  I am guessing Cancer Jesus is still in your cache, try reloading the page.
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.

Yes. Ok. I have no idea why that one was lingering, since I *did* refresh, since I know it does that.
