Thus. Frankly it's all worth it for this picture of Hoobastank:

shame about the bassists leg

relying on metacritic for your worst of the year - Dud or FUCKING LAZY?

― bill sackter (bill sackter), Sunday, 24 December 2006 06:11 (nineteen years ago)

not necessarily

― this is cutty (mcutt), Sunday, 24 December 2006 06:28 (nineteen years ago)

cue the lex with popist outrage

Lazy and retarded. It's like having a Worst Movie list based off IMDB ratings.

― VegemiteGrrrl (VegemiteGrrrl), Sunday, 24 December 2006 07:04 (nineteen years ago)

also, it seems they also read rolling stone... but nothing else

Wrote AllMusic.com in its review, "Paul Oakenfold's 2006 effort could be a contender for dance album of the year, if the year were 1997."

what does that mean? that dance music is only good right when it comes out? what shit

― friday on the porch (lfam), Sunday, 24 December 2006 07:06 (nineteen years ago)

maybe not that exactly, but something equally stupid

also i had no idea that paul oakenfold looked like that. he looks like a neanderthal. i always figured he was popular for looks but now i am really baffled.

fish in a barrel, this list.

Ann Powers: "Fergie exudes earthy charm."

At least three of them are: "Haha, old celebrities are OLD!"

And the Hoobastank blurb is basically knocking them for doing exactly what they aim to do and doing it well (making money off of teenagers).

― Hurting (A-Ron Hubbard), Sunday, 24 December 2006 07:41 (nineteen years ago)

Fergie excretes earthy pee

― bliss (blass), Sunday, 24 December 2006 07:43 (nineteen years ago)

Someone who urinated all over herself during a performance does seem be in touch with a sort of late-60s hippie aesthetic, which was of course pretty earthy. Good observation.

If making money off of teenage angst/ignorance is wrong then pop stars and the business behind them don't wanna be right.

and beaten on the urine thing.

I mean honestly the idea of Hoobastank aspiring to anything more is a little dubious anyway.

― Hurting (A-Ron Hubbard), Sunday, 24 December 2006 07:51 (nineteen years ago)

If the "Popo Zao" beat went to Spank Rock instead of K-Fed, everyone would be lining up to kiss its ass.

Well, I didn't know Live was still, uh, alive!

― editio princeps (pato.g27), Sunday, 24 December 2006 08:05 (nineteen years ago)

I also didn't know about that new Dave Navarro band!

― Hurting (A-Ron Hubbard), Sunday, 24 December 2006 08:09 (nineteen years ago)

Attacking "sacred cows" can get tiresome, but it still beats kicking the down.

― Hurting (A-Ron Hubbard), Sunday, 24 December 2006 08:12 (nineteen years ago)

Rate Your Music's worst 10 is similar (K-Fed, Fergie, Paris, LL, Chingy) but adds AIDS Wolf, DJ Shadow, The Streets, Mobb Deep & the Vines.

Based on the number of Hoobastank CDs still left at Tower when I was there three days before it closed, they are a contender for Philadelphia's official least favorite band.

holy shit paul oakenfold = http://img327.imageshack.us/img327/4180/copyofcavemanlawyer22ku.jpg

man the "acts on this list that were involved in projects at my old job" percentage is making me really happy that i left
