I guess I can believe it though because the world abounds in bad music.
Tonight's rant:
I had my reservations about the cover songs but held judgment until I heard them myself.
Well, I just heard snippets and needless to say, my moment of silence is now over.
WDA.
Honestly, WDA & WTF. Remember one blog ago when I was bitchin' that Z100 plays music that's "popular" i.e. for some god awful reason, people out there think emo is worth listening to?
In all fairness, I understand that if a song's catchy, then it's catchy. Sometimes whatever situation you're in whether it be a club or whatever else, there's a type of music that matches that mode and it works for you. Great. Goodness knows I listen to my fair share of crap as well but sometimes it's all about what you attach it to, the memories generated from it or how it affects your mood and vice versa.
Seriously, I know my logic is at a mere B-, but the solution I worked out in this equation seems true to me:
"In" bands + Disney = Shit.
I've always hated associating or acknowledging Disney's involvement with
The Nightmare Before Christmas. Disney (which by the way is not the happiest place on earth because eBay is) was just the parent company/money machine that could help fund Touchstone Pictures and Tim Burton's amazing project.
But you know when some of these 'bands' were asked to cover Nightmare tracks, it was done by some asshat of an executive at Disney based on the sole fact that the bands are currently the "edgy" big money makers in music's popular culture. And if that's not the case, then they were asked in the hopes that they would actually pull something good based on their building their careers as 'creepy, dark' artists.
Panic! At the Disco, Fall Out Boy, She Wants Revenge and Fiona Apple have all created soulless versions of some of my favourite songs of all time.
It's a sad day when even Marilyn Manson's cover is pathetic.
::sigh::
Currently listening to: "All Alone" by Gorillaz.
