While I didn't write this, I feel this is the only appropriate place to write about the writing of others.
Taken from the 20 greatest singles of 2009 list from the editors of Spin magazine.
"Zero"
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
With her gift for sod-off squawking and tear-streaked realness, Karen O was born to lead the frisky rock revolt that the aughts never earned. So here, with a regal hip check, she strides off by her lonesome, resplendent synth riff all aquiver, cooing, "Get your leather on," as we gambol on the grave of 2009’s tragic, orgiastic flimflam.
I just gagged with absolute and utter hipster disgust. "frisky rock revolt"? "resplendent synth riff all aquiver"? Or what the fuck about the coup de fucking grace "as we gambol on the grave of 2009’s tragic, orgiastic flimflam"? Jesus Christ get me some drugs. I feel like someone took quotes from every poem from his self-indulgent undergraduate career and tried to incorporate it into a song review.
Who even uses the word "resplendent" in somewhat casual conversation? Fuck all of you.
I want your job.
About Me
- Xlynn
- I live my life by song lyrics, have a chronic/terminal case of smartassitis and and currently taking medication to combat a particularly hearty strain of Don'tgiveafuck syndrome. I do the 22k in april to raise money for research. I appreciate your prayers. I'm also a sarcastic, habitual liar. ...sometimes. You will be my new best friend if you can tell me exactly what the fuck Paul Simon and Julio Were doing down by the schoolyard, the exact location of Carmen Sandiego, and the real words to "Blinded By The Lights" (revved up like a deuce, you know, a roller in the night?). I will date you if you can name 3 Green Day albums that aren't American Idiot. I'm a handful but my friends love me. good luck!
