Date: November 19, 2007 11:06:39 PM ESTme, conall, and goda are going to do top ten songs that only one of us likes
a.k.a. we each pick three songs that the other two don't like
and then we pick one we all like
I CAN'T FIND SAM'S PART:
it has got to be around here somewhere...
CONALL'S PART:
The-Dream, "Shawty is a 10"
Sam likes this song now, but only after months of me proclaiming it as the greatest song of the millennium. I'm writing my thesis about it.
Britney Spears, "Gimme More"
All the bullshit reasons people have for not liking this song are based in the most ludicrous, outmoded notions of "authenticity," notions that this song does a superb job of destabilizing. It opens with the fantasy of a known, stable identity ("It's Britney, bitch") and spends its four minutes gloriously annihilating that identity, exposing it for the modernist fantasy that it is.
Radiohead, "All I Need"
Goda doesn't care about Radiohead, and Sam hates the new album for semi-legitimate reasons. This song is good though.
GODA'S PART:
"Declare Independence" Bjork
Sam and Conall hate strong women.
"Smells like Teen Spirit" Patti Smith
They don't hate this song though. In fact, Sam said, "Oh, this is great! I
can finally understand the words!" The things I like are just too
likable... But I feel like I like it more than they do.
"No Pussy Blues" Grinderman
Conall's mom recently saw Nick Cave at the dry cleaners and he still
doesn't like this song!
THE SONG THEY ALL LIKE:
Thieves Like Us - "Drugs In My Body"
