Guilty pleasure of the day: Jet, “She's A Genius”


Jet are the kind of big dumb shaggy-haired rock band where you're embarrassed to say you like them, but when you listen to their songs you can't figure out why exactly, because you're too busy rocking out hard. Even when they get all misguidedly artistically ambitious and channel the Beatles via the Vines, they're solid. They're repetitive, derivative, and boring, but at least they're trying.

Still not gonna even look at this album in the record store though.

Worst song of the day: Our Lady Peace, “All You Did Was Save My Life”


But seriously, if you whole-heartedly, unironically love anything Our Lady Peace has done since 2002, or for that matter any lyric Raine Maida has written since 2001, you should go. Now.

Worst song of the day: Chickenfoot, “Oh Yeah”


I don't get it. Van Halen in the Sammy Hagar era was decent, Joe Satriani is a legend, Chad Smith is the drummer for the goddamn Red Hot Chili Peppers - so how the fuck did that collaboration result in a song called fucking "Oh Yeah!"? Taking "lowest common denominator" literally, it seems.
