Time-Wasters, September 2009 – Everything Is Terrible

Have you ever been forced to sit down at a VCR and TV in the break room of your mindless job and watch an employee training video filmed in 1991? Have you ever been shipped free information about an infomercial product in the form of a video tape? Are you a regular blip on the [...]

Censor This S***: Addeboy vs Cliff – Beep My Beep

Since I stumbled upon this sweeping self-censored single, I can’t get enough of it. And I can’t get enough of the discussion it opens so tactfully. Why is it so important for the censors to stop us from hearing what’s behind those beeps? I can make this song as dirty or as clean as I [...]

You Know You Need Unique YouTube – Garfunkel and Oates

Novelty musicians have been around for a long time. Peter Schaffer’s Amadeus would have us believe that even Mozart himself was something of a comedian. If only Salieri would have partnered with Wolfgang instead of sucking the life out of him, they could have been the first comedic songwriting duo. Since then, the Smother Brothers, [...]

Mainstream pop and hip-hop music opened itself to the tone-deaf population a few years back with the advent of Auto-Tune, and the scene hasn’t been the same since.
