2011: The Year In Review
It’s been a year of change for me. In many ways, it’s actually been the very best year of my life so far.
The clearest and best change, of course, is that I’ve met the love of my life, and it boggles my mind to think that we’ve been together for nearly a year. We’ve changed so much from February 11th, but always, always, always for the better. And we’re still...

yes—virginia—plain replied to your post: Ahahahaha. I had to go and find your Reece post…
Woah woah woah wait. I was runner up in a statewide essay contest and I think I’m doing well for myself. Hater.
And just who’s heard of this essay since then?? Pft, it didn’t even hit number one on the pop charts!
junkyard-angel-deactivated20120 asked: Ahahahaha. I had to go and find your Reece post after that last question. Generally I hate all talent shows and winners because they live in an illusion, that world isn't real, that instant fame and bullshit, whatever. Anyway, your last question asker made me laugh, that is all. /this had no point whatsoever.
vibe-s asked: About your Reece post. Buddy, get off your pedestal and stop putting people you don't know down. Also, who cares if he doesn't go that far in the music industry (which he will anyway) he has already achieved more than you. Stop judging, you make yourself look like an idiot.

#1 - Reece Mastin – Good Night
Number 1 this week is, to put it bluntly, a Katy Perry reject. It sounds like “Teenage Dream” and hell, the recent young winner of the Australian X Factor even sounds like Katy, but without the tracts of land that appeal to us men folk and instead with the ratty hair that begs the question WHEN THE HELL THAT LOOK WAS EVER IN VOGUE.
But okay, what about...

#2 - LMFAO – Sexy and I Know It
This charming and highly entertaining song has a beat and you can most definitely dance to it. And apart from that, hearing the singer’s brags about his sex appeal are just a delight to hear! Gosh, can you imagine, not wearing a shirt or shoes and he STILL gets service! Haha, oh what a highly amusing image you’ve put in my head! The singer is obviously a very...

#3 - Lloyd (feat. Lil Wayne & Andre 3000) – Dedication to My Ex
When I usually do these reviews, I look up the lyrics to see what pearls of wisdom today’s musical artists are giving us. And upon seeing that this song was about the singer missing a woman’s “lovin’”, I shrugged and thought it’d be another run of the mill love song. But how wrong I was.
Substituting the word “lovin’” with “pussy”...

#4 - Taio Cruz (feat. Flo Rida) – Hangover
I’m sensing a definite theme in this top 10 – the singer is absolutely incomprehensible, not to mention the featured yahoo they roped in. And I suppose another theme is the rampant consumption of drugs without thought for personal wellbeing. Which is all well and good, but come on, it’s too easy! Come on Taio, can’t you have a bit more wit, like our old...

#5 - Wiz Khalfia (feat. Snoop Dogg) – Young, Wild & Free
Ignoring the fact that this is another song promoting drugs like marijuana and fried chicken, it’s hard to take it seriously when they so blatantly say “so what we get drunk” and “so what we smoke weed” like they’re 12 year olds bragging about experiencing these things for the first time before they’ve learned the slick lingo substitutes...

#6 - Guy Sebastian – Don’t Worry Be Happy
Either thankfully or unfortunately, this song is not in fact a cover of the Bobby McFerrin whistling classic, but instead a song dripping in even more repulsively laid-back lightweight sweetness. The difference in this song is that the underlying current of substance abuse taints this carefree image and presents it as an ideal or desired state of mind,...

#7 - Ed Sheeran – The A Team
Those expecting a tribute song to the ragtag bunch of mercenaries featuring Mr. T and company will be sorely disappointed to instead bear witness to a song most likely to be played over a “deep” montage of the pitfalls befalling a middle-aged sex-deprived single woman in a watered-down TV drama. Although to be fair, Ed’s intentions are good. He’s tackling meaty issues...

#8 - Coldplay – Paradise
My immediate qualm with this song is how much Chris Martin sounds like he’s singing “parrot” over and over again, or at the very least stuttering ala Roger Daltrey in the counterculture 1960s classic “My Generation”, which obviously draws comparisons that Coldplay is the new generation defining group of the 21st century. If so, may God have mercy on us all.
The earnest...

#10 - One Direction – What Makes You Beautiful
Up to the point where this song sounds like any other pop song, the singer suddenly morphs into what sounds like the generic boy band stereotype with nameless members like any other from the 90s, with one important difference – this group is trying to sing like Bruno Mars! And an entire group of Bruno Marses’s is too much flashy douchiness for me to...

#9 - Flo Rida – Good Feeling
Even the opening acoustic guitar sounds like it’s ready to burst my eardrums. And the buildup isn’t very encouraging either. From what sounds like a much more acclaimed sampled opening vocal (possibly from the 50s or 60s), it builds to WAIT, SLOW DOWN! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? Something about being president, finding a needle in a haystack? Well, that does sound ambitious....
