For some reason, I rarely see lists of shit that made our blood boil at the end of the year. Fuck that.

Be a hater.

1. Witch House, especially Salem...a simply boring as fuck style of music that no one will remember in a year.
2. People saying that Dubstep is a revolutionary change in music...y'know, like trip hop was...
3. 3-D Films
4. people who only text
5. the latest season of 30 rock.

you whining on facebook.

I agree with that about 3D films. and I don't even listen when someone says that something marks a revolutionary change in music these days. imagine that, a random death metal band decides to release a dubstep metal album. btw, I really didn't know that dubstep is supposed to be something new. I think I heard club music in london 10 years ago which was described as that. but maybe this was only twostep revolutionarily blended with traditional underground dub stuff or something.

I think 30 Rock has been perfectly fine this year.

seriously. how can anyone hate on tracy in the cash cab? now, last season? that's acceptable for dislike.

Hmmm. I normally can't work up enough annoyance to hate anything musically usually. I mean, another Creed reunion and album? I usually just laugh or feel pity.

Some things I hated in 2010:

Jersey-fication of America - it was fun while it lasted. Can we please move on? See also: Ed Hardy t-shirts
Brett Favre - yo-yo decision making. Season bed shitting. NFL fine for mongering. Worst farewell tour of all time.
Sarah Palin - every time someone gives her credibility I weep for public discourse in America
Politics as usual- in a time where we need leadership from all sides. We got more partisan bullshit.
Shia Labeouf (?)- is this dude blowing studio execs or what?
Eat, Pray, Love - even FemDerris said she owed me one. Fuck you Julia Roberts.
BP Oil spill - remember the faux rage media shitstorm?? Yeah, neither do they.
The BCS - guess we're just going to have to wait on the "biological solution" for the old guard
Geno Auriemma - get over it dude. You are no John Wooden.
UGA football sucking - get your head out of your ass Mark Richt
Cam Newton - Steel toed boot to the face every time he smiles
Jimmy Johnson - way to ruin a sport I used to like

I'll co-opt these.

Edited to reflect shit that frustrated me.

people fucking whining about Mike Vick.

people whining in general.
MMA
the douche hammer downstairs who's been playing "Come as you are" -badly- on guitar for the past 3 months
politics pretty much as a whole.
that dumb Spoon album
lists

I can get behind all this hate.

RE: Vick...yes, that's been bugging me.
RE: Spoon...are you just tryin' to get a rise outta me

same as every year - politics, reality television, other people, and myself.

I'm hoping he means the demo outtakes one, yes?

i agree

God bless Whiney G for answering this question for me: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/201 ... 9.php#more

"Hey, Soul Sister" was the only rock song to land in the Billboard Hot 100's top 10 this year. This is pretty much proof that rock music is dead, right? We're not gonna tell Nickelback to come back because all is forgiven, but this warm washcloth of facepalmy puns and cutey-poo pukulele might be why Captain Beefheart died.

Though I did think some of the others in that list were strong contenders too.

"Tom Petty doing a reggae song broke my brain. Usually when a misguided, quasi-hippie dudebro takes an earnest, po-faced trip to Bonaroo island, I have a stockpile of easy gags to go too--Bob Marley posters in the ol' dorm room, telling mom you've converted to Rastafarianism freshman year. But Tom Petty is no Ras Trent. He's a 60-year-old man. He's old enough to be on posters with Bob Marley, if he were cool and dead like Jim Morrison. This is more like your dad using his golden years to follow around 311."

"Anyway, the hands-down, no-question, basement-level, bubonic plague worst example of this was in Ludacris's loathsome "My Chick Bad." The song is bad enough with one of the decade's best MCs already reducing himself to a say-nothing slow-flow mush. But Luda flails desperately to fit a hashtag in his 140 characters. It comes after a long, slow trudge through many of traditionally bad Ludacris jokes, non-jokes, non-truths, outright dopiness and a weird part that has a sound-effect made to sound like he's hitting a woman. Like he's having an angry fight with himself he vomits out the worst hashtag in history: "I blow her up... BALLOOOOONS!""

I also hated Sufjan but I've been at that for years.

Shiv should read this one: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/201 ... _so_14.php. Whiney's take on Salem's "Trapdoor"

He should start a new twitter. 1000timesihatesalem

I like it but it's like that Sleigh Bells album. Mindless fun.

i thought that Train song was just a cellphone jingle. Holy crap that is a hollacaust inside your ear like one of those Khan earthworms.

X-Factor.
Arsene Wenger.
Tories.
Employment agencies.
Peterborough United.

Minute To Win It (Is this really what passes as a game show now?)

I swear I don't think I've gone a day without hearing that Train song.

It appears that I hated almost all the obner-approved indie "rock" releases this year. Harlem, Wavves, etc.

I definitely hated politics, but I gotta throw out some love for The Man From Searchlight, who won a textbook slog campaign for an unpopular incumbent. I really hate our new Congress, and what the 2010 election means for civil discourse, or any discourse in our country. Look back on my "biblical" comments - it was worse.

I really hate football - Georgia, Dallas, and the abomination that is fantasy. And with Muschamp and Big Fat Charlie Weis headed to Gainesville, my hatred for the Gators will keep burning enough to bring me back next year.

And, I hate myself for constantly wasting time online instead of reading or listening to music like i used to.

Oh . . . and every time Fox Talk Heads consider the Media as separate from themselves, I seriously hate journalism at present

Pomplamoose and those stupid fucking Hyundai ads

DIE

I kept thinking they were Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros.
