Things That Are Overrated

M.I.A.
Peaches
Justice
MGMT
Crystal Castles (their CD is okay but not good enough to merit all that hype)
Santogold
Girl Talk (and I LIKE GT but this is getting absurd)

Can I just talk briefly about MGMT? Because they suck. They suck and I feel like I am in some alternate reality where everyone loves them and think I am just being difficult because I don’t. No, I hate them because they have songs that sound like Flight of the Conchords. But they aren’t joking. I’ll admit, “Time to Pretend” is a really catchy song with some witty lyrics but that’s it. The charm ends there.
“Electric Feel”? Seriously? There is only one good version of that song and it’s (shockingly) remixed by Justice. It’s like what happens when two crappy things unite, they make something that’s a million times better than what any of the groups can do alone. Sad. Someone tell all the above artists to get together. Maybe they can make a decent album.
Maybe I just don’t get “IT” but if “IT” is cool then I sure as hell don’t want to be a part of that. I’d rather be uncool with my fine sense of music in tact rather than jump on some BS.
