This makes me laugh. I wasn't trying to troll the board. I think many of these songs are actually catchy. There's shit on it, like Sweaty.
But songs like Ice Cream, Chocolate, Raspberry, Lemon and Lime, and One Inch Badge Pin have some great melodies.
Most of the crap that we listen to nowadays won't be on our radar in a few years. Much of music nowadays, especially because of actions that take place on threads like 2007 Trout, has a shorter shelf life than it enjoyed before. There's more of it, and you have more access to it.
I'm sure in a few years I'll still play some of these tracks, because they're amazing "get ready to go out" music. But will I be rolling through the entire album on any given day like I do with Dylan? Not at all.
Doesn't mean the music is crap, though.
Besides, who doesn't like the message of ice cream saving the day?

I've seen him play live. He stands there wailing in to the microphone not even touching the equipment, choosing instead to take photos of himself for his myspace. There is certainly a tongue-in-cheek element, but I can't help but see the hordes of fluoro-clad fuckwits lapping this up as serious music.
I like party music, I like pop music, I like silly music. But Muscles is a negative presence in Australian music and seems to be spreading his fabricated "lol pink rave sugar" vibes across the planet.
An alarming trend.
yes, indeed.
debuted inside the top 15 of the aria charts (which admittedly requires about 2000 or so sales), but still.
like an insidious creeping thing, muscles is - in the brightest of loud hot pink - 'happening'.
