Why I Don’t Cover Much Music

We cover movies and video games, gadgets and technology, but what usually doesn’t make the cut is music. While there are obviously a lot of people who listen to music, we feel that there really isn’t much to say about it other than “go listen to the album”.
Recently I have been glad that we don’t cover music. I honestly don’t think I would say anything good about any of (at least) the current top 10 songs in America. Its just noise these days.
People listen to music because it either sounds “good” to them, or they feel engaged with the lyrics. Boom Boom Pow, currently #1 on Billboard Hot 100 by the Black Eyed Peas tries to engage its listeners with their brilliant chorus:
Boom boom boom, gotta get-get
Boom boom boom, gotta get-get
Boom boom boom, gotta get-get
Boom boom boom, gotta get-get
Great. Really inspiring repetition of 3 words which don’t mean much; I think they are talking about someone’s badonkadonk (?). Hopefully Lady Gaga’s Love Games has something to offer as the #2 Billboard song.
Let’s have some fun, this beat is sick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick
Don’t think too much just bust that stick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick
Why are these artists constantly making shit up that doesn’t make sense? Then, when everyone hears it its common knowledge and we all know what it means. An example of this is “Jedi” one of the first movie words to make it into the dictionary (that I know of at least). Its things like this that bastardizes the English language. All this time I have been wondering why I can’t write well and the answer is clear… and the #3 song by Pitbull isn’t even in English, so screw that. This is Jeremih’s Birthday Sex, which does sound like a good deal.
Girl you know I-I-I
Girl you know I-I-I
I’ve been feenin’
Wake up in the late night…dreamin’ about your lovin’
Girl you know I-I-I
Girl you know I-I-I
Don’t need candles or cake
just need your body to make good
The trend is sex. So far Black Eyed Peas wants some ass from Lady Gaga who will ride on Pitbull’s disco stick, and Jeremih, who is “feenin” (Urbandictionary.com definition) for any girl he can get. Or something. Onward!
The #5 by Jaimee Foxx, Blame It, talks about getting drunk and finding some girl who wasn’t as hot as she is now after having downed an apparent bottle of Patron or Grey Goose, fine alcohol. Should be good…
Blame it on the goose, gotcha feeling loose
Blame it on the ‘tron, catch me in a zone
Blame it on the a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the a-a-alcohol
Straightforward, get drunk. Another trend… the farther we get from the #1 position the less repetition. These songs are just silly. Who are you’re favorite artists? Look out for the latest artists at Billboard.com.

Radiohead, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Why?, Leonard Cohen, Animal Collective, Beck, Sufjan Stevens, Tera Melos, The Number Tweleve Looks Like You.
Just to name a few.
I agree 100% about the billboard 100.
Then again, most music on the top 100 is made for music, nothing else.
“Then again, most music on the top 100 is made for music, nothing else.”
What I meant was, most music on the top 100 is made for money.
meh brain iz slow.
Exactly, someone’s calculated risk of the band succeeding and how much money they will potentially make. Its all predetermined.
i heard boom boom pow was number one in the world at one point. i can’t stand that song though. i don’t get it.
