Worst Band Ever

Sorry, I read Rolling Stone. A great x-mas gift from my wife. I am realizing that I really only read it for the articles. Apparently I don't read it for the music.

Case in point:

I read a very enthusiastic article obviously written by a fan. The "artist" is MGMT. (thats pronounced management for those of you not on the up)Now, either the writer is a big fan, or a really good writer.The day after I read the story, I logged in to my Rhapsody account (3rd greatest invention) and pulled up a playlist. The first song starts out with some droning, boring, non-rythmical pattern. I lasted about 40 seconds, gave it the benefit of the doubt by scanning to the chorus. Even worse. I skipped to the next song in the playlist, with the same results. After giving the third song the boot I cleared the playlist and searched for something with a little soul. (I recently discovered a live James Brown bootleg in my iTunes library that I must have lifted from a clients library. Two words, BAD ASS)

So, after thumbing through the issue again this evening, I realized something about the cover- Once again its the Black Eyed Peas. Please spare us from more bad,annoying rap with aerobic music. (And take Lady Gaga with you to the pit of despair)

When will their 15 minutes expire?

I even gave MGMT another chance. I was watching a tape of last weekends Saturday Night Live. (I have to tape it now since I can't stay up to watch-how times have changed) Dark, depressed, staring at the floor, no soul, no groove, and most of all, no talent. YOU ARE ON NATIONAL TV. You don't have to do a full on Bruce Springsteen but come on! If you hate your own music that much, please make your band a tax write-off for the label and go away.
