Caltrops - No Stairway to Heaven





	[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"]Seriously, this has to be an intentional effort to kill pop music out of spite. I don't know what else the fuck is going on. I caught the last thirty seconds of it on the way home from work yesterday. It was just that idiot singing "WHEN I SEE YOU... WHEN I <b>SEE</b> YOU" for the entire time. The song ended, and the DJ made fun of it. 30 seconds isn't that long, so I thought nothing of how repetitive it was. However, I just went to the mall for lunch. It takes me two minutes to get out of my parking lot and to where I turn to get to the mall. This song was playing and for the entire two minutes it was nothing but that guy chanting "WHEN I SEE YOU." I didn't have any real opinion of these assholes before this song -- the uncut version of 'Semi-Charmed Life I thought was OK, but everything else they've done (and I'm reluctantly admitting that I do otherwise pretty much dig what is called "pop punk" or emo) was unremarkable. I know their second CD sold worse than their first one, but the tactic they have employed to get back to where they were selling is apparently sko Scorched Earth "annoy the entire fucking country" plan. [/quote] I don't know what could have possessed me to write this. I found this thread trying to find the quote where Erik Wolpaw mentions Charles Manson. But I really like the song referenced above. Maybe my musical tastes have gotten worse. Maybe it just doesn't matter any more. There is a nice post by FoK later in the thread where he talks about a lot of acts I always felt I should like (Sonic Youth, Tom Watts) but never listened to. [/quote]
