The Useless Critic 2.0

I just drank a lot of coffee, so we can keep going for a while.  when in Denmark, people ride bikes a-lot pickings are getting SLIM as we circle Scandinavia. it's all good, though. Mother Denmark birthed us Oh Land. who can hate on that? And I love Oh Land. To get further into detail would be redundant. just click on the tag please. Next up! ALPHABEAT!  do you not listen to that and feel ecstatic? damn right.  The Raveonettes!  garage rock, jangly Jesus and Mary Chain lite, really. and don't forget what traditionally is the realm of Denmark itself...Danish rock! i.e. GO BACK TO THE ZOO and that's it for Denmark. see also: - happiness - LEGOS - Oh Land, again. what did you expect? SHE HAS A NEW VIDEO COMING OUT SOON. 

here are my favorites, before we get into that nitty-gritty: ANYTHING BY MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER TSO CAN SUCK IT that will make me the biggest dork ever, but I have a lack of care in that regard. those are just a few. that's not the focus of my post, however. what it is is those songs you seriously dread hearing. like the ones that make your ears drip blood. here's my list for that: THAT DAN FOGELBERG GROCERY STORE SONG okay if I met my old lover on the grocery store I would throw a loaf of bread at her head. some bitch was on Delilah the other night and was like WELL I THINK I THINK MICHAEL BOO-BLEY SINGS IT. ummmmmmmmmmmmm CHRISTMAS SHOES DEAR GOD MAKE IT END. feel free to add yours!

I've always been kind of ambivalent about the Raveonettes- they're not bad, but I've never been like, OMFG THEY'RE SOOOOOO GOOD. well this song may have swayed my opinion on them, definitely. have a look yourself: The Raveonettes - New Music - More Music Videos so sweet, so other-worldly, one of the best things to come out of 2009 for sure. think of a Jesus and Mary Chain for our time, or some forgotten alternative classinc from 1989. here you go. love their cameo at the end. FACT: they take their name from the Buddy Holly song, "Rave On." woo!
