Ugh. 'Honeytrap' by her was one of my favourite tracks of last year. I actually still like the music on that one, but yeah, the motif is ridiculously shallow/stupid.

Re: masterpieces from January
Iggy Azalea's "Azillion" - um, maybe not *the* worst, but it does sound ridiculous. If they'd put more thought into it, they could've stumbled across a much better rhyme scheme like "incarceration", "nation" and "appreciation". It's got a few problems, anyway. (The n-word soundalike being the most egregious oversight.)
"We Didn't Start the Fire" - burning records in a furnace is never pleasant, but if only the DJs in the '80s had had more nous, they really could've cut this song off at the source. In defence of this version, it's quite well produced and is pretty much in the spirit of the original. But fuck 'em both.
"Red White and You" - ooh, a rock version of "Marvin Gaye" (country, w/e). I knew the thread shouldn't have been named after Meghan, her influence grows by the day.
"Fast Car" - who cares
Throwing Shade - almost feels like it belongs in Earliest mention of the internet in a song or title , the phrases are so clichéd. But I'll reserve criticism until I know whether the archaisms are part of a conceptual joke, or something.

Al Jourgensen's new thing, Surgical Meth Machine, is basically late 80s Ministry crossed with gabber. I'm listening to the album now, and it's awful. It includes a cover of Devo's "Gates of Steel" that's just depressingly bad. Also, Jello Biafra is on it.
