Crap to the Nth degree.

if this is a true democracy, paying regard even to the minority needs of its constituency, this band would currently be considered almost 25% not crap.

all of the sudden i'm in favor of partisan deference to the majority.

today must truly be the day of satan.

Truly the evilest bump of them all.



Damn you, Beelzekerble. Damn you.

just brutal.. down there with Hootie


homogenized CRAP

Oh dude.
DUDE!

Long December is the musical equivalent of bargain ketchup. It co-opts the idea of "familiar" but misses the mark entirely, even though it just isn't that hard to copy ketchup. It's just fucking KETCHUP man.

As if that song didn't just PLOD along like a drunk bum that's been stabbed repeatedly but won't die, the outro goes into "nah nah nah's."

As if "nah nah nah's" aren't bad enough, the Dreaded Man's response to his own call is a weak ass "yee-ahhhhh," delivered with the intent of sounding like it's "from the soul," yet the end result comes off as the most inspid CRAP ever recorded.

Oh GOD this is CRAP. I loathe this CRAP.

Even "'Round Here?" When he sings ""round here" in that really fucking nasally annoying voice? You know what I mean..."'round here..."

Counting Crows at Bridge School 2003 were great. Easily the best band on the bill, i kid you not. They were slamming. Not boring like Incubus or Pearl Jam or wheezy like CSNY. NOT CRAP, people. Such a surprise.

That funk part at the end of "Round Here" is stupid.

That last post doesn't compute. It seems to be a not crap vote for Counting Crows, but because such a thing isn't possible, it must be some glitch in the Matrix.

Report to the center for deprogramming, elmo.

It appears so, but if you examine the response holistically, things make sense.

Observe:

Not boring like Incubus or Pearl Jam or wheezy like CSNY.

This statement is tantamount to saying "That root canal was not painful. Not nearly as painful as getting one's testicles crushed in a vise, or getting shot in the kneecap."
Sort of an "ergo sum" thing going on, you know?

This is true. CC had something like seven guys onstage and they like to change the song arrangments all around so you don't know what they're playing.
Also on the bill that year was Indigo Girls, Dashboard Confessional, Wilco, and Willie Nelson. I still think Crows were the best. And I'm still voting NOT CRAP.

no elmo, noooooooo!!!!
