We just don't know anymore

This is an old picture of international contemporary R&B diva Rihanna.



We chose and old picture because it reminded us of a time where not only music was good, but it fucking made sense when you listened to it, and you enjoyed yourself. But alas readers, those days are over. It's now with heavy fingertips that we update this blog because, for fucking real, WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON.

Today we opened up our Google Reader to find several blogs referring to a new T.I. song, "Live Your Life", featuring the aforementioned international contemporary R&B diva Rihanna. "Oh awesome," we stupidly thought, "maybe the world isn't a bottomless pit of retardation and they'll actually be a song we want to fucking listen to today, and hey, maybe we'll even like it." Silly, silly Disconappers. Haven't you realized that those days are over? It's all Chris Brown Doublemint Gum commercials and Katy Perry fake lesbians from here on out. You might as well put on some Can records and call it a day, because pop music is officially meaningless.

Why this sudden outburst? We'll tell you: "Live Your Life", the lovely T.I./Rihanna ditty, samples "Numa Numa". That's right. NUMA FUCKING NUMA.

THIS GUY:



AND THESE GUYS:



...are being sampled by T.I. and Rihanna. Like really, why do we even bother? Why do we bother with music and pop stars if this is what we get in return? A rapper with 67 kids high off his ass surfing the Most Viewed category on YouTube and a 20-year-old who can't say FUCK TO THE NO when presented with such an idiotic song? WHY DO WE BOTHER?

Here's the song if you give a shit.

T.I. featuring Rihanna - Live Your Life

Whatever. There's still amazing stuff out there like the Friendly Fires album and Cof Cof and Chairlift, but sometimes it feels like we do all the work. We want someone to make us feel like it's 2003 again :(

NOT AMAZING! NOT AMAZING! NOT AMAZING!

We give up. We fucking GIVE UP.

You're doing it wrong

BritneyWatch 2007™ hits rock bottom

We still believe that Britney's album will be her great comeback. But she's not making it easy.

We saw Interpol at MSG last night...

And Jesus Christ on a motorbike, HOW SHIT ARE THEIR NEW SONGS.

Here is some shitty fan video to validate this statement.



The problem with "Serious Interpol" is that instead of just writing a slighty weepy ballad and calling it a day, they basically just write an Interpol song without any good hooks or guitar parts. It's like they purposely write shit songs instead of good poppy ones like they're capable of. Look at what happens when they play a song that's not horrible:



OMG! GOOD GUITAR PARTS! CATCHY CHORUS! AMAZING!

Interpol, you know what you have to do.

Britney Watch 2007™ takes a turn for the worst

So, by now you're probably seen that Chris Crocker video on youtube, and the Britney Spear VMA performace on dailymotion (or perhaps actual television). In any case, you'd have come to two conclusions:

Conclusion #1: The perormance was awful
Conclusion #2: Britney Spears fans are insane.

While you'd be correct on both accounts, and while we are part-time Britney fans ourselves, this video takes the cake:



It's some guy trying to explain the shittiness of the performance by telling us that Britney's shoe was broken. Which EXPLAINS THE STUMBLING! And the listeless eyes, confused expression, sedated appearance, failure to lip-synch, dazed demeanor, etc etc.

Today's question we dare not answer

Why does Lolly have a MySpace page?

The Saddest Time of Year

The VMA's are coming up and Travis from Gym Class Heroes wants you to vote for him.



The fact that GCH are the most cutting edge nomination this year makes the bottomless cesspool of our souls sink even deeper with unspeakable sorrow.

What in the name of holy fuck is this

We just came back from Lollapalooza 2007 where we saw The Cribs, interviewed The Cribs, hung out with The Cribs, and basically stalked The Cribs. BUT WE WILL GET TO THAT LATER BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION:

Except the part around 2:30 when we says "I like those black girls", that was utterly shit. Calvin, please don't ruin your great songs with ACOUSTIC GUITARS. Consider this a warning :(
