Village Voice's F2K

(although really the wtf thing about the LL song is the video; the song itself isn't as horrible as the other things on the list)

Well, if there must be some Lohan representation, several things off of Ali's holiday album should do. I vote "Christmas Magic," despite my semi-affection for its total AM cheeze:

(OK, I'll stop spamming with Rolling Teenpop holdover Youtubes now.)

"I mean, a lot of those songs are just goofy."

Exactly. I'm not having any fun w/the Idolator list cause it comes off too much like the Joke Police. I'd rather see more ridicule for stuff that's been critically or commercially acclaimed--someone articulating why, say, Grizzly Bear sucks than a blurb putting Smash Mouth in their place. The idea that you can't do this without seeming "spiteful and silly" is just dumb. Just, like, don't be spiteful and silly about how you do it.

And "challops" is an even dumber term than "hater" and serves the same irritating purpose of shifting the focus away from the actual argument being made and to the motives of the person arguing.

you would seriously rather read MORE coverage of grizzly bear

smh

you would seriously rather read MORE coverage of Heidi Montag

[retarded internet abbreviation]

Have you been on any gamer forums and discovered the magic of "QQ"?

(because that's kind of what you're doing here)

i like it when ppl act like finding dismissive coverage of indie rock is difficult

thats the only coverage of heidi montag ive ever read tbh

tbh = to be heidi

you are heidi montag and I claim my five dollars

i am iirc

oh hey

you suck at everything, Heidi (sorry ;_;)

i cannot keep up w/this thread but:

even if it continues trawling through a whole bunch of easy targets, the writing is making me laugh, so as far as I'm concerned it's successful.

is otm. whiney is writing funny stuff, so fuck it if the list is correct, like there's some cosmic list of ACTUAL WORST SONGS you fucking aspie rubes, what in the hell

Ooh, spectacular failure, K-Fed's "Lose Control" as performed at the Teen Choice Awards!

That's a good (i.e., really really bad) one, but I'm crossing my fingers for "Popozao" in the top ten. High expectations!

Here, they can post this as an addendum to the as-scheduled F2K:

Grizzly Bear - "Two Weeks": This song is really boring!
Fleet Foxes - "White Winter Hymnal": This song is really boring!
TVOTR - "Wolf Like Me": This song is really boring!

deej otm

And yet I could imagine Pitbull doing this song, just about verbatim, and no one caring that much.

oh oh, somebody threw down the aspie gauntlet (on ILM!?) = shit is getting serious

My personal nominations would include The Hold Steady's "Chillout Tent", which I know has some following on ILM, but which contains some of the most jarringly interpolated vocals I've ever heard from Dave Pirner and Elizabeth Elmore. It also sounds like The Hold Steady's most out-of-touch song, which is weird, since they are usually quite well-attuned to the the lives of druggy teenagers for a bunch of thirtysomethings.

But whatever, I'm enjoying F2K for what it is. Keep up the good work, Whiney.

I for one couldn't care less about the stupid mildly funny blurbs. I just want the list. The songs have all been INCREDIBLY bad so far. I am so making a "torture" mix CD of these when it's all said and done.

Can this song please be on the list??

Oh good, someone else who didn't bother to read the thread and just call everyone aspies instead.

You must not have attended the same concert I attended, because your criticism is way off!

from whiney:

can you tell dan and ned and kshighway thanks for the support
and also,
I'm proud that, thanks to hoot smalley, the same ilx thread has accused the list of being too obvious and too obscure

Hope all is well, Whiney. Really enjoying your F2K posts!

Wow it's almost Monday already here in Boston. Yikes.

31!

that one's especially amusing to me because of the old thread where Whiney was all "I can't believe this song is going to be a single" and we had to inform him that it already had been one: 50 Cent - Curtis

This is like everything I hate about 50 condensed into one song with an extra helping of Snoop-biting

(also ppl do realize that Maura is doing half of these, right)

Maura's leaving: http://idolator.com/5290342/its-time-for-me-to-say-goodbye

Nooooooooooo.

so whos taking over

I wonder what will happen to the site now . . .

I guess we'll find out tomorrow . . . maybe?

Totally gross. I hope some enterprising soul brings the sight down one way or another.

:(

the sight = the site, GAH. I guess I am just too appalled at the Perez-isation of idolator.

the...what?

The layout, I'm guessing.

Or the zinging?

I did lol at "Maura leaving Idolator < My Humps" even though this still sucks

the layout has barely changed in the history of the site, though

Yeah, you're right. I have no idea then.

gossip

Eh, I just figure they're going to do something cheesy and hacky, that's the way all of these sites seem to be going.

yeah, it's probably best to preemptively accuse them of going in a direction they haven't made a single step towards, just to be safe

Better safe than sleazy.
