OK, is this the worst piece of music writing ever?

i had to check:

"Born May 3, 1981 (age 35)"

ouch....

I could barely read it, it was mindless pap

fuck this guy

shit, dude was born the week after me :/

OH KIDS THESE DAYS!!

lol, no preamble or anything. Just straight into "1. Mariah Carey".

welcome to lefsetz land

If only there was an embraceable anthem, akin to those of NWA and Public Enemy of yesteryear. I remember during the Rodney King riots realizing everything Ice-T said was right. But now that Trump’s in office and white man power is at its zenith, I can’t point to one hip-hop song that nails it.

if only there were a song that told Donald Trump to fuck off...

Waiting for people to do the heavy lifting and send him relevant songs

We used to sit around and sing Beatle songs, playing the chords on our guitars. I haven’t seen a group of kids sitting around playing today’s music…ever!

lol must have never been to a fuckin' bar on a Friday night or to any dorms ever.

ugh this board is at its worst when people think it's fun to joke about shit like Alzheimer's

If only there were some meme depicting an old man, say, yelling at a cloud or something

quite the conundrum

it’s become self-referential, kinda like metal. You can’t understand today’s metal unless you listened to decades of it before.

It's a special kind of agony when Lefsetz says something you kind of agree with.

Stopped clock etc

I'm missing the part where anyone joked about Alzheimer's

Yeah, I missed that too. Maybe a post landed in the wrong thread by mistake?

I think that was supposed to be a joke? As in, don't make fun of this guy, he can't help himself, "senior moment," etc

that's how I read it anyway

bingo

Does this count

i like it

Though the following exhibit came out in 2013, I maintain that it is the worst piece of music writing ever committed to pixels:

When I was standing in line to validate a parking ticket after American Hustle, “Pretty Hurts” was stuck in my head, and I couldn’t get it out, even after sitting in a theater honed in on another piece of media for nearly three hours. Those are the moments that matter, and they never happen immediately. That’s how I was proven wrong.

this one time at band camp

lol, the byline is a good kicker

well there's this

i mean, not the worst. just painfully earnest and long and sorta unreadable.

a good editor coulda saved it, but we don't have those anymore

well we do, they're just not employed to edit

I've liked a lot of Everett True's writing through the years, not such a fan now he's dismissing music on the grounds of being made by a "beardy ginge". It's almost enough to make me try listening to Ed Sheeran.

good music made by a beardy ginge or beardy ginges: Vivian Stanshall, Average White Band - who else?

absolutely shocked that E True wrote something in the style of a pissy 15 year-old

otm

so True, funny how it seems

Not enough comparing of aquariums to blue construction paper or mentions of the interiors of geodes for my liking. Ed Sheeran is shit, though, so there is that.

This review of the new Harriet Tubman album is kind of amazing...if you want to read the author's (actually pretty positive) thoughts about the music, you have to skip to paragraph 14. He had some stuff he wanted to get off his chest first, though.

wow

yikes

how dare SJWs politicize a band called Harriet Tubman
