Village Voice's F2K

Yeah, it was a lot of fun to read. Thank you both.

Likewise!! It is great stuff.

I mean you knew that already. What I meant was that I loved it.

I will add my thanks. This was a fun read and a fun thread, too. I will miss this.

FWIW I never liked "Big Yellow Taxi" that much. Don't it always seem to go that most "political" pop music doesn't really ask the listener to take any responsibility for the situations they declaim?

(")They(") suck(s).

I will miss this.

esp since it signals the end of idolator as well.

You mean you don't want to read vapid blurbs about Jessica Simpson's ear candling?

I already miss Idolator a lot. I asked upthread where I could get writing of this calibre on a daily basis and nobody answered with anything that met this requirement. Personal blogs are cool and all but there are some things that are truly improved with more than one person involved.

also I will miss this thread, one of the few I haven't killed with my "charming" personality.

the new ID♥LATOR logo is hilarious in how it's like the polar opposite of nick denton's original gossip/snark/humiliation vision of 05

(fuck you, Ned!)

Ah ya punk. :-D Nah, I'm currently on vacation and also slightly under the weather so I'm glad someone else stepped up, I'm only just now reading all this.

Echoing everyone's thanks for this whole thing.

aw, you guys are so sweet

whens the poll??? good job, whiney and maura dot com.

You're the parking lot, motherfucker. You drove your shitty steamroller over something everyone loved so you could pander your sensitive pussyhound whine to people waiting in line at the Carl's Jr.

<3 <3 <3 x 1000

thx whiney and maura. i imagine this was like the musical version of sailing up the river in apocalypse now.

thanks for following along all this time, everybody! i just reread this whole thread and it was like tripping back through the last eight weeks. which, whew.

I don't know, the original vision was pretty hilarious too.

agreed. and i love joni mitchell, but "big yellow taxi" was always a little too cutesy for me.

love it. thanks for everything you guys.

i think my personal favorite was blue october.

can't find the Alan Partridge clip where he talks about 'Big Yellow Taxi' :(

I never even noticed this thread!
reiterating my plea for a 2cd set from whiney

Seriously it was an awesome and well-researched list but the abject shittiness of each entry crowded out any room for zingers.

I feel like there is no room for zingers right now, sure.

The list doesn't really have that problem, though.

A heh.

"Ass Like That" was on the first draft of the list.

Da doing doing doyyyyyng

No "FACK"?

still think that the chipmunk song is a little too good for this list

and for this world imo

ha!

so i have a question

did u guys actually actively research, finding bad songs that were new to you, or just organize the list from your collective traumatized memories?

both!

ha jump rope sucks so bad

WHERE CAN I READ THIS?!?!? It appears to have disappeared from the internet entirely. Even the Internet Archive Wayback Machine is giving me a page of a 404 error.

:,(

We pitched it as a book, everyone blew it

if only we'd called it f2k me please

Can't believe yall just let all this great writing just disappear forever. Backup your work ffs. Does anybody even have a complete list?

and maybe educate yourself about how online content works. sheesh man
