Odd Taste In Art Translates to Odd Taste In Music

I don’t even know where to begin with this site.  It reminds me of paper­rad, but less inspired.  The worst thing about this whole thing is the move­ment.  There are tons of it, and it doesn’t stop on the home page.  This is the kind of awful you’d expect to see in a zom­bie movie or some postapoc­a­lyp­tic thriller involv­ing giant flesh eat­ing mag­gots which found an escape route from hell and are now eat­ing lower Man­hat­tan (Clover­field, any­one?).  Is it weird that my brain goes there first?  Take a look and then tell me.

It’s a color mon­ster vomit fest, and every­thing is moving

There is a prob­lem with musi­cians, and yes, this is a site pre­sum­ably by a musi­cian.  That prob­lem is that they seem to think the folks who would lis­ten to them want to see what’s going on in their heads.  Wrong…  Espe­cially when it’s this.  No rhyme, no rea­son, just an exer­cise in hor­ri­ble.  The musi­cian in ques­tion is M.I.A. and I assume she resides in the UK.

There should be a dis­claimer on all sites like this that says some­thing like, “Warn­ing: Merely view­ing this site could cause epilep­tic seizures, headaches, spon­ta­neous peri­staltic con­vul­sions and death.”  In the absence of that dis­claimer, can we sue?  A cou­ple well placed, expertly argued “your site made me blind / unable to appre­ci­ate eye­sight ever again” law­suits might get peo­ple to think twice about pub­lish­ing this krap.

I don’t really care if a musi­cian is writ­ten up in the bow­els of Rolling Stone, or had a snip­pet in a mag­a­zine about toe­nails.  They have no right to do this to the chil­dren of the world.  Some poor kid will see this and think it’s OK to be this bad.  It’s like the movie “Idioc­racy” where Luke Wil­son is the smartest man in the world because he’s been frozen for 500 years.  This is the future folks, and what a bleak out­look it is.

Allow­ing this kind of stuff to con­tinue is not OK…

What about the music?  Well, I’m glad you asked.  It sucks too, but hey, art is sub­jec­tive, right?
