Glen Campbell Covers Green Day

Glen Campbell covers "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" on his upcoming album Meet Glen Campbell. This is an exercise in comedy.

"Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)"

"You Like Bar B Cue, Let Me Put My Meat Up On Yo Grill"

Not to go all football news and commentary on you (like the guys over at EDSBS) but because we reside in Tulsa, OK this bit of music news seemed too important to pass up. University of Oklahoma (boo!!!) incoming freshman football standout Josh Jarboe decided to show off his MC skills in what appears to be the OU student union, which was subsequently uploaded to YouTube (imagine that). Because of his violent and profanity laced "flow" he was kicked off the football team and had his scholarship offer withdrawn by the university.

The rap isn't anything worse than what we hear everyday in hip hop, but its violent nature in combination with Josh Jarboe's arrest for handgun possession in the spring forced the university's hand. We disagree with this action, because we really were looking forward to more great rhymes by the greatest MC to never play a football game in Norman.

The rap is absolutely awful. It's terrible. I would be more embarrased it being in public more so than getting kicked off the football team. With all the misogynism and violence, the worst part is his desire to provide his own echoes and backing vocals. Ch-check it!

Underappreciated

No matter what activity you're engaged in, everything goes to slow motion when this is playing. Originally appeared in the 1996 envision of Romeo & Juliet and its official soundtrack, the Romeo & Juliet OTS and the 2008 greatest hits album are the only official North American releases.

08/13/2008: Terrible Song of the Day

"Dont drive no big black car
Dont like no hollywood movie star
You want me to be true to you
You dont give a damn what I do to you

Im just a dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, dirty white boy
Dirty white boy..."

If anyone even has to attempt to explain this one to you, you need counseling.

Terrible Song of the Day: 08/05/2008

Yes. This song in terrible. No. I'm not a communist.

I can only assume Carry On My Wayward Son is a tune about a young man who thinks he knows everything, goes out into the world, realizes he knows absolutely nothing, grows a disgusting haircut, then proceeds to create crappy, predictable, and frustratingly persistent 70's classic* rock--at least that's what I get it from it, but the true meaning may never have escaped Robbie Steinhardt's facial hair.

My belief is nobody really likes this song. This is a song people put on mix discs as a humorous trek into 70's progressive rock. Devil horns will be thrown, and high fives will abound, but nobody truly loves this song the way people really love music.




*Classic is not synonymous with good

Id Engager

The new Of Montreal song "Id Engager" has been streamed via Pitchfork, but you are more than welcome to listen to it here. The song, as you will tell, is very typical of the latest Of Montreal work, which is welcome--although I would like to hear more moving and sobering material. But I'll refrain from completely complaining until after the new album's release date of October 7.

Interestingly enough, as of 7:15 PM any search for Of Montreal on Pitchfork's website returns no results...
