The 11 Worst Musical Artists of the Aughts















Music website Pajiba brings us this list of the 11 worst musical
acts of the decade spanning 2000 to 2009. It is chillingly accurate,
and includes most of the jabronies you would expect to see on
such a list: Black Eyed...uuugghhh, sorry, started getting nauseous
there...Black Eyed Peas, Katy Perry, the douchebags from the
FreeCreditReport.com commercials...well, dammit, just go and
read it. I need to go throw up like it's New Year's Day:

Worst Movie Scene Reenactment Ever

Thank you to my friend and groomsman Tom P. in San Francico,
for once again bringing to my attention something hilarious/
disturbing he found online.

This time around, we have a reenactment of a scene from
Predator, featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl
Weathers.




I know, a true classic. So, how can this possibly be made
better? By having two 13-year olds cheaply reenact it...
in blackface.




Actually, this seems to be just one kid putting together
this award-winning performance, not two, which adds to
the deliciousness. Also, for some reason, I am reminded of
what Al Jolson would've looked  like if he could've turned into
the Hulk.

YOU SON OF A BITCH.

Worst New Blog





I, like most bloggers, love starting blogs and then abandoning them.
Except for this one, which I do update, I just do it like every 20
years. Here's my  latest blog destined to be completely forgotten
in about 3 weeks: Weird Transmissions. It deals mostly with
shortwave radio (a big hobby of mine), but will touch on radio in
general. Visit it at: http://weirdtransmissions.blogspot.com/

Thanks!



Worst Songs Ever













As a bitterly arrogant music snob, to me, 99% of all popular
songs ever recorded would qualify for a "Worst Songs Ever"
list. So I won't even try to make a personal list of songs I
consider the worst. For one thing, it would be osbolete
every few weeks (or days). Instead, I direct  you to a few
lists of the worst songs ever released. These are certainly not
very current, so you probably won't see as much Katy Perry,
Gotye, Nickelback, Kelly Clarkson or LMFAO as you might
expect. Yeah, I said Gotye, fuck you.


First, we have Wikipedia's list. Too short, but very instructive:

Then, there's AOL Radio's list. The blurbs could've been better,
but this is AOL we're talking about:

And finally, a pretty decent list some dude posted on HubPages:

And remember, commercial radio: repetition is the best way to ruin
a song, even a good one.
