Wait. Who normally phones in your radio show?

Normally no one. I'm a college DJ on a 10-watt station. I was completely surprised when he agreed to it.

You are missing the "phone it in" joke.

This is not a subtle joke.

It is neither good nor subtle.

Jay Farrar/Son Volt
this guy is a total hack at this point. and his new version of son volt is absolutely dreadful live and from what i've heard recorded. dude can't sing worth a shit anymore either. plus, who buys his clothes?

The Arcade Fire
ick.

Neko Case
whatever clown decided she was hot should be shot cause that's the only reason she is still making records. everytime she sings it sounds like the last song she just sang. plus, she's fat.

I would have to smite the following

Killers: What a shock, I know. Bad fucking haircut music for people with stupid fucking haircuts. If we're in an 80's revival where are all the bands that sound like Scratch Acid, Honor Role, or Breaking Circus?

Tortoise: 8 years ago I would've bitch-slapped myself for saying this, but this is a band that has become truly boring, bland, & unimportant. I can't imagine ever thinking that when I bought the S/T & Millions album.

!!!: I can't think of a band playing right now that irratates me more than this batch of clownshoes. I think it's funny how in some music rags (i.e. Xlr8 & Spin) they are made out to be some sort of controversial, intelligent music (ooooh he said bad words about the president, you bad.). Smite all of 'em

While I'm no fan of her music, I can understand how she can be popular beyond her looks. I don't think she is fat, but who gives a fuck? Fat people have made some of the best music on the planet (Big Boys? Minutemen? Mountain?).

note to self: pay attention to things you read. <plug> http://www.wmscradio.com to listen. it's 4-7pm (eastern time) thursday ted leo calls at 5, some other band plays live at 6. </plug>

Modest Mouse - for one, all of their songs sound the same. i cant tell the difference between any of them. the singer's voice is so thin that he needs at least 2 tracks on his vocals. and the tone of that god damned guitar....

Judas Priest - I just dont see what's so great about them at all

Smashmouth - oh man, these guys just suck it all up. all star could be the worst song i've ever heard, how the hell did these guys make it. was it the hair?

probably the hair and the little line beard that "singer" has..... but know you gotta love them...... they got on the Shrek soundtrack..........


(if anyone can't figure out that I was being sarcastic about having to like them for being on the Shrek(or liking them in general) soundtrack, I am sincerely sorry)

This is a tough one, especially since we only have 3 choices. Hhhhmmmmm, if forced to pick a trinity of crap, I'd have to say:

1) The Cure--Robert Smith is singlehandedly responsible for all that bitch-core garbage that people gobble up, that nancy-pants bullshit where these Jimmy-Eat-Dashboard-Bright-Promise-Eye-Ring fuckers cry about how hard their life was b/c mommy and daddy didn't play enough fucking frisbee with them. For Fuck sake man, what does Robert Smith have to cry about? He's a fat rich guy who can shit out the same god-awful record for 20 years and those suburbanite mall rats (trench coat wearing, wicca lovin' ladies) still buy this "my life is a black rose" garbage. Fuck him. I pray that jesus kills robert in his sleep. Smite him oh lord!

2) Tim Kinsella--everything, especially his joan-of-best-trick-ever-pulled-on-indie-rock-idiots-arc band. these shit inspires nothing but contempt in me. I saw the "owls" one time in Atlanta. You remember those moments you used to have while watching The Wonder Years. Paul, the Jewish neighbor would do something so terribly embarrassing you'd have to look away, change the channel, anything to divert your attention from his shit situation...that's how I fell about Tim Kinsella and his whinny stupid fucking pretentious crap: scream, blurt, scream, off key. Fuck him.

3) Vice Records band Bloc Party---ya know, the guys from BrooClyn...whatever...

8 pages, and plenty of bands and artists that I utterly despise, but this is the first one that I agree with as being smiteworthy. When this thread reaches 24 pages, I expect I'll have my list of three. (EDIT: To clarify: Plenty of bands mentioned that I would gladly smite could I smite, say, 50 bands. But for three, I need to be selective.)

1. Smashmouth.
2.
3.

pavement
throbbing gristle
peaches
