So, I'm sure troops in the SS didn't have much choice either. It was hard being in Nazi Germany, ya know, with all those great uniformed SS and NOT join them. Shucks.

yes because you see American minorities are a direct parallel to the SS and Nazis

Now I've got Duran Duran in my head. "Waiting...for the nightgoat!"

NIGHTGOAT is missing the big point of my piece that I didn't exactly spell out. I can't exactly judge someone for joining the army because I've been fortunate enough in my life to never have that even be an option. I don't know what upbringing Stewart has, but I can tell you that a HUGE HUGE SUFFOCATINGLY HUGE portion of the audience for indie-noise pitchfork bands is in the same boat as me.

I don't know, I thought you pretty explicitly spelled that out

Like, to the point where the only way I can see NIGHTGOAT making that post is if he either saw the song listed and just commented without reading the piece or he is just functionally illiterate.

dude is def on my team with that screen name tho

I remember when the army recruiters came to my school with the mandatory tests to see what you'd be good at in the army and I was just uh "I'm pretty sure my fat ass is going to college, can I just save you a step?"

i see why this song is hated on but still, the Harry Partch noise and various squealing doodads are pretty cool

27!

I am perturbed by how the frame that you see before playing that Youtube clip shows Kelly looking down the front of her trousers. Still not going to watch it tbh

i still own both kelly osbourne albums and i have never successfully listened to this track all the way through

there are two?????

I am spontaneously generating incredibly creepy cavities as I listen to this

okay why is there a gospel choir in this

there are two?????

Shut Up (glossy, obnoxious garage rock from a celine dion producer) and Sleeping In The Nothing (campy '80s homages from Linda Perry)

Kelly has had the weirdest career:

gotta love how she's a consistent quarter-step flat for the entire song

Of all the things to complain about, Dan...

I like (and own) both Kelly Osbourne albums, actually -- and I'm pretty sure this song is not on either album I have (Maura says it was on the re-release of Shut Up, but I have the original one). This one is perfect for F2K tho.

yeah shut up was re-released as Changes by her second label Sanctuary with the aforementioned title cover (which was a #1 in the uk, i think!) and some ghastly live tracks.

Still love "One Word" though.

Surprise! Two in one day!

26!

And yes, we've officially released the halfway point.

it's gonna be two a day from now on iirc

Yeah, I was thinking "Okay, who would be waiting on the F2K entry due on Xmas day?" I mean, besides me.

holy fucking lolz, esp. at the last part

ok yeah that is terrible and i feel really bad because its the first act i really expected better from

Oh hey Dan, you were right about yesterday's entry generating lolsy comments:

The fact is that, as a music writer, you are paid to write about music, and that instead of doing your job you chose to vilify a piece of music because the lyrics do not agree with your own politics. This puts you in the same camp as Rush Limbaugh, Goebbels, and Stalin.

okay listening to this Beastie Boys song feels like watching your formerly-hip uncle attempt to do a headspin at age 75

okay I clicked back to the video near the end of this and WTF at the whole thing

okay now I've restarted it looking at the video and SRSLY, WTF

Hey Whiney, what's Stalin like to hang out with? Bet he makes a mean vodka tonic.

xxxpost it's like a birdfeeder for butthurt xiu xiu fans

wow i had never heard changes before. horrific, and i, like others upthread, think both her albums are great, and not just because of the pix in the booklets

I apologize for suggesting earlier in the thread that "Open Letter to NYC" is anywhere close to this, btw.

Wow. I expected this to place at least top ten. EVERYBODY hated this song.

25!

Listening to this song is like being smothered by a sad kitten.

24!

weezer always sucked; gummy bear is... just a bit lame

Yeah, this is more like watching a sad kitten being smothered on YouTube.

23!

i have honestly never even heard OF half this list - enjoying the writing obv, enjoying not hearing the songs, hope some songs i've enjoyed hating this decade crop up at some point

it's mostly been a bit too obvious thus far.
