Shiny Toy Guns, etc.

If this is the music of today, then I will just have to give up and sing. I have no problem singing along. I just have to have an affectation that drips of humility and fulfillment. When listening to these new “snyth pop/ indie bands”, my ears want to fly away and join a gaggle of wax. It’s like these guys truly feel that they are the best thing that have happened to music. I wish you could hear me sing along. I make up my own lyrics of course. Mine are four times better and more effective (they’re also completely real). They go like this; “I have perfect pitch and I like to sing really loud, but not so loud my audience feels out of touch with my lyrics, but I still like to sing loud, unless there’s a sweet keyboard solo.” and so on.

And I love all the American music in the background at the olympics. All hail the U.S.A. Did you see Kobe Bryant walking into the match against China? Give the guy a break…
