Worst music you've heard in 2013 - rolling thread
Just made the mistake of clicking on an email from a PR.
Imagine a 14 year old that has never heard any Simon & Garfunkel but loves Kate Nash, making a pop video for their acoustic song in a launderette http://www.mtviggy.com/blog-posts/video-premiere-bent-cousin-bentpaperboy/

Sorry!
This is out on Conor Oberst's label
He must be trolling
my cat's breath smells like cat food

fucking hell
well this is ... something
and yet it's already stuck in my head ARGH
Production Assistant: James Blake
seen the facebook comments at the bottom?
Keith Levene from PiL likes it!
O_O
cringe
couldn't even play that one fucking chord picking thing right, messes it up a few times.
jesus this is atrocious!
deep-blue was right.
oh and btw
let's not pretend these lyrics are any worse than the shit Arctic Monkeys put out over and over and over. Their use of hackneyed, out-of-context, before-their-time phrases and references is exactly the same.
I know I'm on DiS so people won't actually like the AM's anyway but JUST in case
i don't particularly like AM
but lyrically it's not even on the same level, sorry.
I fucking love AM and you're clearly fucking tripping.
yeah ... no ...
"She liked my one-speed bike"
"I growed up with McFly"
"I like the cut of her soul, I like the cut of her underwear"
"She only had one hobby, that was origami"
Think Alex Turner has managed things just a *little* better than that. But it's also the way their sung as much as anything, ugh. So disjointed
Submarine EP & Last of the Shadow Puppets
are so good that Alex Turners ability shouldn't even come into question. If anybody writes shit like that it's that bloke out of The Enemy.
You think so hey?
Dint ya see she were gorgeous, she was beyond belief
But this lad at the side drinking a Smirnoff ice came and paid for her tropical Reef
...
"Oh you've saved me," she screams down the line
"The band were fucking wank
And I'm not having a nice time"
...
And I'm so tense, never tenser
Could all go a bit Frank Spencer?
^TENSER ffs?
...
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
But my chances turned to toast
...
And so on.
Sorry but if you genuinely think Turner has managed things a little better then I'm at a loss. The only reason someone would be okay with his lyricisms and not hers is because of accent-related prejudice. They are both UTTERLY FUCKING SHIT.
The first Arctic Monkeys album is utter shit, but they got better.
well in that case
why aren't people assuming the same could be true of this lot up there ^. I think both bands are bollocks, but i find it a little baffling that anyone can condemn one set of lyrical dross but laud another...
I suppose so.
I don't think that song is remarkably bad though. I mean, it's very shit, but I don't think there's that much difference between that and early Arctic Monkeys lyrics either.
oh we're on the same page in that respect.
earlier dumbfoundedness withdrawn
I still think the Arctic Monkeys were better though
At least their music had a bit of energy.
What are any you of even talking about?
Comparing the two tossers at the top of the page is like comparing a steaming dog turd to a why am I even bothering?
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
they sound like they're doing bad karaoke versions of already awful songs.
Emeli Sande's cover of Eleanor Rigby

ahaha this kid that I look after said his favourite musician was Emili Sande
I look forward to reminding him of that in a couple of years.
but she's the inexplicable soundtrack to all our national events!!
how else would we know what emotions we were legally required to feel?
Haha, I'm enjoying the London 2012 backlash!
I just hope Danny Boyle is soon exposed in a bestiality scandal. For shits and giggles.

It's not good, but is it so bad that it warrants a thread like this?
I tell you what though...
I hate, hate, hate the song in the current Samsung Galaxy Note II advert (we kiss we kiss). I think it was written specifically for the advert but fuck me if it isn't one of the shittest, most irritating things i've heard in years.
God, I despise all that "tasteful" new yuppie bullshit on the mobile phone/camera ads.
Die, die, die, die, die.
Ellie Goulding - one more die for good luck.
pretty harmless
I've heard much worse.
And the point of this thread was to share stuff that's as bad / worse...
Perhaps other people don't get exposed to music they don't like?
Some prat posted a Paramore link here a few days ago
I heard something on Radio 1 today that went something like
"girls who like the Rolling Stones / But they weren't born in 1971 / They were born in 1991."
It wasn't that bad, but it might well be I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair) II.
