Britney Spears – “Work Bitch”
She’s back with an incorrectly punctuated song title and she would like you to… work more? I wish she’d stop calling me a bitch, but her point is a good one: If you want a Maserati, you need to work. Unless you’re cute and then you can half-ass a music career. No video yet, but at least there’s this picture with her boobs Photoshopped out.
Miley Cyrus – “Wrecking Ball”
I loved “We Can’t Stop” and I won’t tolerate anybody saying anything bad about it. But this one, it’s not so much fun. It’s a more serious number (fake tears!) but I’ve never been able to take anybody seriously while they’re licking a sledge hammer.
Eminem – “Berzerk”
Eminem is back with a solid, but not life changing song produced by and co-starring The Most Interesting Man In The World, Rick Rubin. I’m a sucker for a giant boombox, plus the song has one of my favorite YouTube comment exchange of all time.
“Eminem๏ปฟ is timeless”
“Well thats because this song is a tribute to๏ปฟ Beastie Boys”
A couple more videos from little Miss ‘All-i-really-want-to-do-is-just-get-fucked-over-and-over-and-over-over-again-for-perpetuity’ Cyrus, and i just might change my tune about censorship…it might not be such a bad thing after all in instances like this.
I mean, the government doesn’t allow people to taint our land and waterways with garbage, so why should it stand for it when someone like Cyrus repeatedly dumps the equivalent of raw sewage into our brains?
The Britney song, on the other hand, is fantastic. I always knew that vocals that sound like a robot being strangled laid over a monotonous track of melody-challenged computer gibberish would make for a great song.
(As for Eminem: Well, in this context he looks pretty darn good, like the clean, virgin-white part of a blood and shit-stained wad of toilet paper floating in a bowl full of reeking, colorful ungodliness.)
It’s also possible that music is subjective. But no, you’re probably right, @human_in_training. You’re probably right.
@ Alex:
Ummm, so says the fellow who titled his post “This Week In Ridiculous Pop Music” and who flung as many insults at these poor dears in the body of it as i did in my comment…
I’m pretty sure we’re on the same page here, Alex, when it comes to us conveniently ignoring the fact that music is obviously subjective and the unfortunately-untrue belief that our respective tastes are ‘better’ or ‘more correct’ than the tastes of those with whom we disagree.
Or, were you being sarcastic? (Good, because so was i…or at least i was about the censorship part, anyway.)
