he's a complete fucking sociopath

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 8 August 2017 19:03 (six years ago) link

guys just like him are partying in 9-bedroom mcmansions in the hamptons right now, phonebook thrown in the pool, peanut butter smeared on the wall, the quiet hum of undocumented cleaning crews picking up after them come sunday afternoon

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 8 August 2017 19:05 (six years ago) link

but where were you when he documented meeting a kid with cancer?

Did he even have anything to do with this, or is this a case of metadata shenanigans? He doesn't seem to be promoting it anywhere.

Anyway, here's the singer in question: https://www.instagram.com/davidsbaumanis/

(I also like that someone on his FB page posted a note to Agent Desmond.)

Some lad called Ron Jelly or something like that. The sooner I get these headphones fixed the better

has Castle on the Hill been mentioned? Ed Sheeran never fails to horrify:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qp5vcuMIlk

his voice, the production, it's all so terrible - but the lyrics are even worse! absolutely dreadful

niels, Sunday, 1 October 2017 18:15 (six years ago) link

That song played dozens of times at the place i worked at over the summer - i hated it so goddamn much and i'm so glad I don't have to be around that office radio anymore. Yeah, we get it ed, your friends in high school were burnouts. that doesn't make you any less of a cheeseball.

harry styles - sign of the times

Week of Wonders (Ross), Sunday, 1 October 2017 19:25 (six years ago) link

i fully expect "castle on the hill" to be nominated for song of the year grammy

dyl, Sunday, 1 October 2017 22:14 (six years ago) link

"Castle On The Hill" is not nearly the worst thing Sheeran's released this year

monotony, Sunday, 1 October 2017 22:19 (six years ago) link

yeah it's going to get record/song of the year noms for sure unless the grammys just give up and give every song that hit number one in its nomination period (which ended yesterday) a nod

maura, Sunday, 1 October 2017 22:23 (six years ago) link

that list, btw, would be (in reverse chronological order)

bodak yellow
look what you made me do
despacito
i'm the one
that's what i like
humble
shape of you
bad and boujee
black beatles
starboy (woof) and
closer (WOOOFFFF)

maura, Sunday, 1 October 2017 22:25 (six years ago) link

despacito owned the charts huh

two months pass...

Last call to get some nominations in here for the worst song of 2017.
I'll likely run a poll in late December.

Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 21:12 (six years ago) link

Is that one where Ed Sheeran keeps saying "I'm in love with your body" on here?

If not, that.

iCloudius (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 21:23 (six years ago) link

did Meghan Trainor sit this year out or something

Eminem - Walk On Water

MarkoP, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 22:03 (six years ago) link

That American Soul song U2 did on SNL this week should be in the mix.

"refujesus"

DJI, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 22:26 (six years ago) link

that smurfette track is very bad

Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 22:42 (six years ago) link

lol, i forgot that trainor's debut album was 'title'

Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 22:43 (six years ago) link

it's useful at least as a marker for showing why kelly clarkson's 'whole lotta woman' and kesha's 'woman' are really quite good

Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Wednesday, 20 December 2017 11:52 (six years ago) link

why would they include Malibu tho?

also, I know they had to pick a token Sheeran track, but I think they should have clarified in the blurb that every Ed Sheeran track is the worst

niels, Wednesday, 20 December 2017 12:28 (six years ago) link

is this the shortest a worst-of-the-year thread has ever been, in 2017 of all years

sick, fucking funny, and well tasty (katherine), Wednesday, 20 December 2017 18:11 (six years ago) link

too much horrible shit to mind in all other corners of life imo

Simon H., Wednesday, 20 December 2017 18:16 (six years ago) link

i was pretty impressed by how awful that branches & big wet song is

na (NA), Wednesday, 20 December 2017 18:29 (six years ago) link

swish swish is a bad song but it really requires the video to move over into terrible

not linking uproxx’s because it was poorly written trash

young & menace is kind of amazing

imago, Thursday, 28 December 2017 17:02 (six years ago) link

it is! easy to hate though

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 December 2017 17:13 (six years ago) link

"bhad bhabie" isn't really any worse that a dozen other people doing similar work; picking on her seems unimaginative

Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Thursday, 28 December 2017 18:06 (six years ago) link

if you want to be galaxy brain cynical you will likely not piss off any advertisers by shitting on bhad bhabie

sick, fucking funny, and well tasty (katherine), Thursday, 28 December 2017 18:10 (six years ago) link

anyone who didn’t have qveen herby on their list didn’t plumb the depths enough
