A New Low

Bruno Mars.

Need I say more? Seriously. Who signed this guy? Does he have an uncle in the music industry? He's a no talent hack. His songs are mediocre at best. I thought we got past that with Jewel. Even Jewel had one good song. Even if she didn't write it as it's credited.

Come on. You know that Jewel didn't write that song don't you? You've probably seen this before but here it is again:

Okay. So we know that Jewel didn't write that song from her own experience. We can tell that just from listening to her other songs. Prime example:

Alright. Sorry to put you through that. "You stood in the doorway besides some comment on the weather". Yeah. Classic. No. Not at all. Sappy. Not even poetic. Whiny. It just lends itself to butchered mockery.

Getting back to Bruno Mars and idiotic Lyrics: The Lazy Song? Marry You? It's high school drama? Even then, there are better writers in most high schools. Better song writers. Better musicians. Seriously. You don't have to go further than youtube.

Not a one of them over 20. The singer couldn't be 18.  These kids are not only good musicians, they write intelligent lyrics.

The Pop world needs to get a clue. Stop dumbing down the music. Stop force feeding feces to the masses. They don't enjoy it because they like it. They simply have no choice. There are no other options. Musicianship is trivial to these music execs. It's all about the numbers.

Now don't get me wrong. I'm not all shred head. I firmly believe there is crap in all genres. Here's another high school band but something about them screams POSER! This should make you laugh out loud and maybe puke in you throat just a bit.

Truth be told, they're a pretty decent band but that video. UGH! It's a stinky ball of cheese.


Let that stew for a while.
