The Useless Critic 2.0

So a long time ago, I wrote a post on musical phases. “Take me back to the year of the Bass.” Everyone goes through musical phases, and for my music fads change almost every year. Recap on Nader Bouberhan’s Musical Endeavors/Youtube Diary: 2007: Nothing but Bass Guitarists 2008: World Music and Listening to Chocolate Rain by Tay Zonday and Snow’s Informer on repeat. 2009: Broadway Musicals with numerous tracks from Davis Gaines. The only constant in all of these years has been my obsession with Irish melodies via Luke Kelly, The Dubliners, and various artists and guitarists on the internet. But as for the year 2010, it is hard for me to place an exact genre. One of the main reasons is now in Algeria, I have no connection with my youtube favs thanks for faulty internet. However, in addition to my beloved Emerald Isle reels and jigs (hearts to you Michael King), This year has been a combination of….. Comedy Rock This includes Cars Can Be Blue, the Arrogant Worms, and of course Steven Lyn...

So every time I'm in a bookstore, I've been hovering in the humor section. Some scientists say that laughter is as addictive as cocaine, they are fucking right!! ;) Also, I've been learning about new bands in the genres of humor music. Such as great stuff from. A prideful Canadian band, known as The Arrogant Worms Their music is kind of alternative. The vocals are mostly clear, and their songs frequently almost touch on the "spoken word" genre of music. But they are really enjoyable. Check out the rest of their youtube vids. QATFYG: What is your favorite humor band/ or musician?
