and yeah, I think I heard "Kryptonite" about eight thousand fucking times when I was in, oh, seventh grade. whoever said that the band has worst songs though is completely correct. see above post.

Don't know where else to post this, but . . . Whiney was interviewed by the AV Club y'all:

Sample:
AVC: What is your response to the internet commenters who didn’t like your speech at the 140 Characters Conference? Some of them thought you should “just get with the times.”CW: This goes well beyond the music-criticism industry. This is every industry right now. Where there was once jobs for 100 people in the old way of doing things, now there’s a new way of doing things where only 10 people can do it. You’re either one of those 10 people or you get fucked. I’m worried that maybe one day we’re not going to be paying for musicians. Maybe one day we’re only going to have bedroom crybaby bullshit like Wavves. I’m terrified to think the future is just going to be Pitchfork reviewing MySpace pages, because there’s not going to be anyone left to put out records or review records. It’s just going to be a series of links and an advertisement.

Like, I think Asher Roth should get punched in the balls, but [his album's] first track’s got kind of a hot beat. He got like a 1.5.

3 doors down have def done worse.
Perhaps, but if you were subjected to rock radio for upwards of 8 hours a day any time between 2000 and 2003, you heard this song enough times to make you wish for deafness.
Or if you were ever in a band that did covers and had to play the fucking thing.

wavves suck obv
i'm pretty sure zach hill is making more money touring w wavves than he ever has w hella or marnie stern - pretty sure dude is just trying to stave off getting that job at the corner burrito joint

sarahel posted a really nice little thing about his drumming style somewhere, like a little breakdown. Astrological straights is a first class alb

he can probably lay down a solid beat and pour beer over the other guys head at the same time though

Okay, really? You think making fun of James Blunt and brokeNCYDE is on par with making fun of Outkast and Gnarls Barkley?

I mean, really?
no. just mean to point out that it's mostly been a bit too obvious thus far. hopefully that will change as the countdown continues. cripes, man, let me deal with my feelings of disappointment in my own way, will ya?

Actually appearing at an event like that - being aware of it, standing in a room with those people - makes it difficult to view Whiney sympathetically, as a possible sky-is-falling peer. If you look at the history of music criticism, there is a reason it's so dramatically demarcated by generation, by eras of writers: it never paid a living wage. Shit or get off the pot.

if it was like a list of 10 songs i could see being disappointed by an obvious entry here or there, but with 50 it'd be crazy to not have anything that's at least a little easy or on the nose
