Evil Brian's Evil Thoughts...it's a MotherFucker

Top 25 Singles of 2004

2004: the year of the cool-ass single as far as I can tell. Lots of good music this year, most of which cancelled out most of the bullshit on the radio. Here are the creamy 25 that has risen to the top of the crop and...and won't stop....to hop....on pop. And then Drop. In slop.

Here's the fucking songs.

25: Cradle Of Filth – Gilded Cunt

There are no words to describe how fun it is to pull up next to a middle-aged woman in a minivan and chanting “CUNT! CUNT! YOU GILDED CUNT!”

24: The Killers – Somebody Told Me

Androgynistic fun with synthesizers and bouncy pop. Incandescent.

23: Missy Elliot - I'm Really Hot

Okay, so she's not ACTUALLY really hot. Missy is the queen of cool singles, however. This is ass-shakingly delightful. Excuse me, Badonkadonk-shakingly. Also, the video features creepy children.

22: 36 Crazyfists – At the End of August

Woefully underrated and often written off as emocore bullshit nonsense. 36CF can still carry a tune with their melodic hard rockin’ ways.

21: Dropkick Murphys – Tessie

The official anthem of the World Champion Boston Red Sox! SCORE! Enthrall yourselves in the old-timey Irish overtones of the greatest song to come out of Olde Boston Towne in a long, long time.

20: Beastie Boys – Ch-check It Out

Beastie Boys are procrastinators. They rock out. This song makes me wanna dance like a monkey. Rejoyce, fellow monkey-dancers!

19: Incubus – Megalomaniac

Incubus takes a couple steps back to sounding like an actual cool rock band again. Plus they hate George W. Bush. Listen and learn.

18: The Rasmus – In The Shadows

Finnish goth-y alternative rock perfection. The Cure wishes they still sounded this cool.

17: Interpol – Slow Hands

Depressing indie droning akin to Joy Division, except nobody’s committed suicide yet.

16: Silvertide – Ain’t Comin’ Home

Just plain, old-fashioned straight-ahead rock and roll. Bar brawling music.

15: The Bled – Dale Earnhardt’s Seatbelt

Offensive title AND obnoxiously loud. It’s just the new brand of so-called “metalcore”, but I like it. They sing "Let's set our hearts at self-destruct", and it only sounds half-cheesy.

14: Eminem – Mosh

Extremist politics in ultra-mainstream hip hop form. The best song from the worst album I've heard this year. “Fuck Bush” indeed.

13: Green Day – American Idiot

Typical Green Day fanfare lead-off single nonsense. Catchy, loud and snotty, a.k.a. Green Day’s single. Fun to shout along to, when you’re feeling particularly nihilistic.

12: Killswitch Engage – The End Of Heartache

Sweeping, emotional, Killswitch. It would be cheesy if they didn’t rock so hard. What am I saying? It’s still cheesy.

11: They Might Be Giants – Experimental Film

A video made by The Brothers Chaps? For a song by the Two Johns? About independent filmmaking? Delicious.

10: Snoop Dogg – Drop It Like It’s Hot

Clicks, whistles, cheesy 80’s keyboards and extremely typical Snoop Dogg lyrics, and it’s probably the most improbable number one single in years. Cool in the extreme.

09: Jet – Look What You’ve Done

I know, I had them on my worst singles list last year, but this song shocked the shit out of me. A slow burning ballad with legs and chops and other clichés.

08: Avenged Sevenfold – Unholy Confessions

I am such an Avenged Sevenfold fanboy. You should listen to them too. That way I won’t feel quite as lonely. Fun loud riffs and other musings on metal musicks.

07: Kanye West – The New Workout Plan

Retarded lyrics, but it’s just really fun. The strangest hip hop single to get on the charts in a long time, you can't deny that.

06: Franz Ferdinand – Take Me Out

Funkalicious and angular. An exercise in rocking out by a couple of weird Kinks fans. Sorta.

05: Megadeth – Die Dead Enough

Classic Megadeth. One of their best singles of all time. Rock it properly loud.

04: Outkast – Roses

Roses DO really smell like poo-poo-poo. How much more stank do you need? This makes my ass shake more than it usually does. And it usually does a lot.

03: Clutch – The Mob Goes Wild

Unexpectedly awesome. Like, moreso than you could possibly imagine. Vaguely political, half-stoner vibe, all rockin’. Everybody move to Canada & smoke lots of pot.

02: Modest Mouse – Float On

Another shocking single with a bizarre kinda vibe to it. Such a weird vocal delivery, yet you can’t help but like it. Hypnotizing.

01: Green Day – Boulevard of Broken Dreams

This song was stuck in my head the second I started listening to the album. And then they chose it as the new single. I rock so fucking hard. A delightfully depressing song about how everything sucks. Yes, I DID put two Green Day singles on this list. Sweeeeeeeet deal.

Worst 20 Singles of 2004

Overall, I believe that 2004 was a reasonably good year for music. However, before we laud the excellence we must jeer the bullshit. There were an innumerable amount of shitty songs on the radio and TV this year, but these 20 are the worst offenders; unlistenable, annoying, just plain bad music.

20: Gretchen Wilson – Redneck Woman

Nashville is the bastardization of all that is listenable in country music. Gretchen Wilson is a bastardization of Nashville. Go back to the trailers, hack.

19: Korn – Another Brick in the Wall

How in the holy fuck did this sound good, even on paper? To their credit, the guitarist does do a decent enough job with the solo at the end of Part 2, and this is a collection of the whiniest songs on The Wall which works in Korn's favor; but even still, Jesus fucking Christ. Another Brick in the Wall was NOT meant to be transformed into some shitty industrial knockoff bullshit.

18: Metallica – Some Kind Of Monster

They released another fucking single off of this godawful piece of shit, in order to hype their documentary by the same name. Guess what? The song is still unlistenably bad.

17: Tim McGraw – Back When

Worst lyrics ever. Tim McGraw and everyone like him are the reason country music is a disgusting joke instead of a hard-boozin’ piece of Americana. This song is a tumor on the ass of music. Do you hear me?? ASS TUMOR!!!!

16: Gwen Stefani – What You Waiting For?

Tee-hee! Let’s put out a totally bubblegum pop single much in the same vein as my band’s last god-awful album, except with less experimentation and more fuckheadedness! In other news, fuckheadedness is a word.

15: Gaggle of Fuckheads – Lean Back

I don’t need songs to tell me what to do. “Lean Back”? Eat shit. “Do the Rockaway”? Suck a dick! Fat Joe? Fat Fuck! The possibilities are endless when you use profanity.

14: Nickelback – Figured You Out

Nickelback’s totally edgy song about a coke whore comes off as neither edgy nor a song, but rather as a dying vagrant in the streets using the last of their energy warbling for quarters to go score some crack. This is the reason people hate Canada.

13: Chevelle – Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)

The whiniest band of fucks in rock today, and that INCLUDES Yellowfuckingcard. Referring to Ritalin as Vitamin R is officially a 15 yard penalty, first down. When has going from being a contemporary Christian band to a mainstream band ever worked?

12: The Worst Rapper Ever feat. Talentless Fat Fuck and Jadakiss – New York

How the hell did Jadakiss get stuck as the meat in a gigantic suck sandwich? Ja Rule continues to prove why nobody likes him by attempting to pander to the biggest hip hop audience in the world: suburban white kids who wish they lived in New York City. Supposed to be a love letter to NYC, comes off as pleading and hackneyed, should have listened to the Beastie Boys’ new album. Not quite a haiku, but you get the general idea.

11: Britney Spears – Toxic

Yeah, yeah, she’s in here. Long after the semi-retirement of the more obnoxious boy bands, Britney Spears is still releasing music. Who the fuck saw THAT coming? Song is particularly bad, as it contains overly-high pitched, over-processed vocals and ear-wrenchingly awful music. When you go to hell, this is the music reserved for the 9^th circle of traitors and murderers.

10: Three Days Grace – Just Like You

They were on my list last year, they’re on here this year and, with any luck, they’ll all die in a horrible plane crash. Repetitive and unrelentingly bad.

09: Future Leaders of the World – Let Me Out

When your greatest musical accomplishment is managing to confuse me into thinking you are actually Puddle of Mudd, that’s a sign that this whole “rock” thing isn’t working out. Shit, even after the DJ said their name, I thought it was Puddle of Mudd in disguise. A cool enough band name wasted on the shittiest new band on the scene.

08: Yellowcard – Ocean Avenue

We use violins. We’re all artsy and shit. Listen to us whine. “Boo-hoo-hoo…Ocean Avenue.” I could swear those are the actual lyrics. Anyways, this emo/not emo/punk/not punk/bullshit band is so retardedly bad it makes baby Cthulu cry. This song is the biggest offender. MAY THEY DROWN IN THE TEARS OF CTHULU!!!

07: Good Charlotte – Predictable

Good Charlotte sucks. They always have sucked, and they always will suck. And nothing will ever remove the fact that if you listen to them, you suck too. This band has the most consistently bad lyrics since Limp Bizkit, the least innovative skills since Blink 182, and the most boring and untalented lead singer since Good Charlotte.

06: Switchfoot – Dare You To Move

Do you suppose these guys got together and said “You know what guys, I have an idea. Let’s write a power ballad that sucks.”? More boring than a thousand live Phish albums (sans weed), more soul-shattering than a thousand Sarah McLaughlin records. The most bland and uninteresting song of the year.

05: Usher – Confessions II/Yeah!/My Boo

Usher should probably have a category all his own. Definitely the most overhyped musician in the world today (and that includes the latest incarnation of "KISS"), Usher has proved that anybody that makes prepubescent girls cream their Underoos can get a record deal. Stealing all his moves from Michael Jackson (circa 1986), he’s hailed as a “total package” which is a load of garbage the likes of which landfills have yet to see. Yeah! Was good the first ten times I heard it, but after that hour was over the radio continued to play it at the same frequency for over SIX FUCKING MONTHS. Thriller barely kept its appeal for that long and it didn’t have Lil fucking Jon in it. Usher deserves to be eviscerated with rusty tuning forks and bled to death.

04: Eamon – Fuck You (Don’t Want You Back)

Some whiny fuck got cheated on or something and put out the most profanity-laced single (I think) in the history of music (and that includes “Louie Louie”.) Thank god he’s a one hit wonder, because the man just can’t sing. Or write a song. Or have any kind of subtlety or tact whatsoever. Whatever chick he wrote this about actually recorded a response to it, “FU Right Back”, and I don’t blame her for one solitary fucking second; because if someone I was dating had written a song THIS GODAWFUL about me, I’d certainly have to respond to it as well. Fuck Eamon and his shitty fucking one hit wonder bullshit.

03: Maroon 5 – This Love

Maroon 5 is the worst band on the face of the Earth. Boring, lifeless, unoriginal, bad. Yes, Maroon 5 is the poster child of B.L.U.B. bands. This song in particular is just plain awful; built on a shabby premise with nothing to distinguish it as new, different or even good. This is the epitome of suck. They produce fucking elevator music.

02: Eminem – Just Lose It

The most embarrassing, annoying and unlistenable single of his entire career, and he recorded “My Name Is”. He’s finally stopped even trying, it seems. Making fun of Michael Jackson and Pee-Wee Herman? A fart joke in the fucking song? (and not just a fart joke, mind you. He takes TWO BARS to set the fucking thing up, and two more bars to explain it to his retard fans.) Eminem has turned into a Weekday Morning Radio DJ. I still don’t understand how a song with a chorus that annoying and awful could ever be popular. Then again, check out what song’s at Number One…

01: Kelis – Milkshake

This song is a bloody, failed abortion crawling for life. Not just repetitive, but REPETITIVELY repetitive. Not just annoying, but ANNOYINGLY annoying. Overflowing with bad innuendo, awful vocals, a horribly grating bassline and the worst lyrics this sided of Good Charlotte, Kelis has recorded the worst single of 2004. This song is enough to effectively end Kelis’ music career, attaining the same level of listenability as Lou Reed’s “Metal Machine Music.”. Congratufuckinglations, you talentless, worthless gutter-trash piece of shit, you’ve hit the grand-fucking-slam of bad music.

Holiday Night Lyrics

Frustrated? Answers Await!

In the words of Other Brian, "If you didn't get them by now, you won't." Since Other Brian waited 6 days until he relented, I figured I should too. So, here are the songs that you guys couldn't identify. Some bizarrely obscure, and some intensely obvious.

1. “Be Happy/Be safe/Communicate/This is the end, this is the end...”
To My Surprise - Sunday
(I wasn't expecting anybody to guess the 60's-style psychedelic pop/rock side-project of the Clown guy from Slipknot. The entire album is pretty bland, anyways; not recommended. This was the most obscure selection, methinks.)

2. “It’s just murder/at least you know I care...”
Helmet - See You Dead
(The first single off of Helmet's comeback album that was released earlier this year. It's refreshing to hear from Helmet again, though the album is slightly lackluster.)

3. “And it's me they're looking for,/And it's me I will never survive,/But will be around so long...”
Coldplay - Brothers & Sisters
(A random Coldplay B-Side. There's a reason it's a B-side.)

4. “She put the seeds in me/Plant this dying tree/she’s a burning string...”
Marilyn Manson - In The Valley of the Shadow of Death
(A track off of Holy Wood, which is Manson's second least-shitty album.)

6. “All these creatures were climbing the walls/While the synergy flows through my brains/That is hard...”
Supergrass - Funniest Thing
(Crazy Brit-pop-rock at its finest. A decent song off of a very cool album.)

8. “Across the crucified/So few are chosen/I do not die...”
Rob Zombie feat. Iggy Pop - Hands of Death (Burn Baby Burn)
(Off of Zombie's Greatest Hits album. I like the song, but perhaps I'm in the minority. Sounds like everything else Rob Zombie does, because Rob Zombie is the new AC/DC.)

10. “I'm always feeling steered away/By someone trying to tell me/What to say and do...”
The Offspring - Meaning Of Life
(The song that drove OFB mad as a hatter. Back when The Offspring rocked. Yes, they used to. Shut up.)

13. “And I'll bust my brains out for you/And I'll tear my hair out/I'm gonna tear my hair out just for you...”
The Rolling Stones - I Got The Blues
(With so many awesome music junkies on the Internets, I figured a Stones tune would be a shoo-in to be guessed. One of the few Stones songs that I enjoy.)

15. "Cartier, Sidney Poitier, hooray shit/What with all my niggas from around the way shit..."
Busta Rhymes - Gimmie Some More
(My favorite goddamn rap song EVER. I can still sing every word of this and keep up with Busta. This is what you should be listening to.)

16. “There's a darkness deep in my soul /I still got a purpose to serve...”
Santana feat. Everlast - Put Your Lights On
(Come on, this was DISTURBINGLY popular in 1999! Despite not rocking hard.)

18. “Everybody stutters one way or the other/So check out my message to you...”
Scatman John - Scatman
(WHEEEEE BOP BOP BA-DOP BO! BOP BA-DOP BOP BO! The pinnacle of mindlessly retarded 90's dance/pop music.)

19. “Complicate me and forsake me/you push me out so far/there’s no other feeling..."
Trust Company - Falling Apart
(Shitty, shitty nu-metal excrement. I commend you all for not knowing this. Avoid.)

20. “Its about that, what time would that be?/Wind yah waist line to the base line/Slow it down now get the beat right..."
Missy Elliott feat. Elephant Man - Keep It Movin'
(As with most Missy Elliott songs, awesome instrumentation, weird-but-passable rapping from Missy, and some retard stuttering nonsense in the middle of the song somewhere.)

22. “He's loved in seven languages/Diamond nights and ruby lights/High in the sky..."
Sade - Smooth Operator
(I was shocked that nobody got this. Seriously, go download it now. A classic.)

24. “Hang up your Christmas stockin'/And let me put my cock in..."
Nerf Herder - I Got A Boner For Christmas
(Another one I wasn't expecting anyone to get. Very obscure, incredibly juvenile, but it still makes me laugh. I love my strange Christmas rock songs.)

25. “Oh, yes I am/And you know what?/It's not a schoolgirl crush..."
Joss Stone - I've Fallen In Love With You
(Joss Stone is really really REALLY good. This song is awesome, times 3.)

Final Scores:

Space Lord - 4
OFB - 2
Chuckie- 1
Meg - 1
Other Brian (bpd) - 1

9 out of 25. I need to start listening to more mainstream stuff.

Friday Night Lyrics: Time Edition


So, Time Magazine has chosen it's Man of the Year and, somehow and someway, it must've been one motherfuck of an uneventful year; because they chose World President George W. Bush for, and I'm paraphrasing here, being an asshole.

No, seriously.

Here's a quote directly from Time, with the asshole portions in bold:

"U.S. President George W. Bush's bold, uncompromising leadership and his clear-cut election victory made him Time magazine's Person of the Year for 2004, its managing editor said Sunday.

Time chose Bush "for sticking to his guns (literally and figuratively), for reshaping the rules of politics to fit his 10-gallon-hat leadership style and for persuading a majority of voters this time around that he deserved to be in the White House for another four years," Jim Kelly wrote in the magazine."

I WAS going to post a nice little Christmas carol or something festive, but I suppose that can wait until next Friday. I've been saving this one up for just the right occasion, and this is as good a time as any. I give to you, fellow ne'er-do-wells, the National Anthem of Bush Administration Inc.

State of the Union

This is the opening track to Xzibit's new album, splicing together various State of the Union Addresses from World President Bush to make a fun message for all God-fearing Americans.

And now, a message from the President of the United States:

“Tonight I wanna take a few minutes to discuss a great threat to peace.

The dictator who is assembling the world’s most dangerous weapons, is here in our own country.

He is the homicidal dictator who is addicted to weapons of mass destruction.

He has proven he is capable of any crime.

The tyrant is me.

I have directed this administration to support the use of violence against all of you.

I will kill thousands, or hundreds of thousands of innocent people in our country and across the world.

I, um, resolve to bring sudden terror and suffering with horrible poisons, and diseases, and gasses.

Men and women, boys and girls, thousands of civilians will be killed in a single day.

Murdered at random, and without remorse.

My ultimate ambitions are to control the peoples of the United States, and to blackmail the rest of the world with weapons of mass terror. 

Weapons of mass destruction.”

Blatantly Stealing Stolen Ideas To Blatantly Fill Space

From the awesome OFB and the equally awesome Other Brian comes this fun little game to do with your mp3 list.

Answers should only be submitted via the comments below this post. I'll post the answers along with the names of the people who correctly guessed the song titles and artists within this post as people answer. In maybe a week or so, if there are any left, I'll make a new post with all the correct answers, and chastise all who failed to guess them (though, admittedly, some of these are kinda hard). CHASTISEMENTS FOR ALL!

Good luck you princes of music geekdom, you kings of the Internets!

Something To Do With Values

Strength Beyond Strength

You know, I wasn't listening to metal in 1986. In fact, I doubt I had much musical preferences at all when I was 5 years old. So, when Cliff Burton tragically lost his life in a horrific bus accident, it didn't affect me. Even looking back, having enjoyed Ride the Lightning an innumerable amount of times, I could never quite grasp just how important he was, or the reverberation that surged through the metal community when he lost his life on that chilly winter's night.

John Lennon had died almost a year before I was born. The impetus behind most of The Beatles' successes, and an accomplished solo artist in his own right. Even so, after getting my full Beatles knowledge and being able to sing along with "Imagine" before A Perfect Circle had ever dreamed of covering it, I always had a hard time understanding the pain and anguish felt by millions of people that cold December of 1980.

Finally, unfortunately, I think I understand where everyone was coming from.

I got home from work at about 8:30 AM Thursday morning and, as per usual, I checked all my usual websites. Real Life had a pretty funny webcomic up and, apparently, was raising money for a new server. Fark had the usual mix of important news and insanity, but nothing earth-shattering. Then I checked up on Your Favorite Band Sucks, to see who responded to the listing of Grammy nominations I had posted earlier, and there I saw a posting from the one and only Space Lord, and it broke some terrible news. A shooting at a Damageplan show. 4 people killed Others wounded. Dime...

"Dimebag" Darrell Abbott slain.

I quickly went over to Blabbermouth.net and it was plastered with breaking news of the tragic events that had unfolded while I was hauling boxes all night. Musicians pouring with regretful reminiscences and heartfelt goodbyes. Grief and misery the world over. The very foundations of the metal community, it seems, had been shaken. Hows and whys thrown left and right and everywhere people searching for answers. A groundbreaking guitarist had been stolen from us before his time. Shot in the fucking face by a madman whose name doesn't deserve to be repeated. For the first time in a long while, I felt the pit of my stomach drop and crack. I felt sick; my mouth agape and my eyes glued to the words on the screen. I understood, finally, what it feels like when a musician you grew up with is taken away from you unexpectedly.

I had never really gotten into Pantera much until listening to thier live album "Official 101 Proof". That's where it all hit me. The unrelenting Becoming. The shout-along Walk. The indescribable Cemetery Gates. They all hooked me in, and I believed the hype. I understood why all the badass looking bikers wore Pantera shirts, and why the metal community worshipped the ground these guys drank on.

Nobody could've seen this coming, and nothing, I believe, could have stopped it. I always figured Dimebag Darrell would die from alcohol poisoning; overdose; liver failure, something along those lines. The hard-drinkingest guitar player in the business had no right to go out the way he did, and it pisses me off. Like Owen Hart before him, Dimebag Darrell left us on the stage he used to entertain us so many times before.

This Friday Night Lyrics is dedicated to his memory.

Part Of The System Lyrics Blogging

This week I finally broke down and purchased a cellular telephone, making me a certified cellular telephony. And, of course, I celebrated the fact by waking my brother up real early, jumping up and down with the phone to my ear screaming "I'M PART OF THE SYSTEM! I'M PART OF THE SYSTEM!!" Life is good.

Been tired as hell all week long. Who knew everyone shipped shit FedEx after Thanksgiving? Yes, that IS my excuse for the lack of blogtacular entries here at Evil Brian's Evil Thoughts.

Also, I just recently started getting into Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events and, I must say, the books are quite interesting and well-written. I finished the first book in less than a day, and have started on the second (I still have to find and purchase the third). I'm hoping to get all three read before the movie comes out on the 17th. I highly recommend reading at least the first book. Delightful, and more than just slightly depressing and disturbing. A good read.

This week's Friday Night Lyrics needs no explanation, it's just a fucking kickass song. Enjoy.
