#289: Of Blog Battles and Musical Warfare

While Isaac and the Ng sisters battle it out for blogging supremacy, I've decided to wait on the sidelines until the battle subsides, and then launch an unexpected attack on the unsuspecting victor. (No Adriel, no 'underarm blow' talk) So in the meantime, I'd best be getting myself in the best blogging shape possible, shouldn't I?

News just came in recently that Daughtry is slated for a July 26th concert. While swooning fans (both male and female alike) of the band led by 'that baldie' scream, yelp, and giggle in excitement, I can only add 'Daughtry' to my 'Bands that shouldn't have come to Malaysia this year' list, along with the likes of Sean Kingston and The Click Five.

It's a fact: Malaysia is in dire need of good music. With The Jonas Brothers and Chris Brown topping the local airwaves, anyone blessed with the gift of common sense would know something is terribly, TERRIBLY wrong.

So, as my responsibility as a superhero, a crusader of good music, and an exterminator of injustice, it say it's time we replaced particular bands of my extreme disliking with music worthy of 'thirty-plays-a-day-on-local-radio' fame. Like...

Fall Out Boy

C'mon. Their latest album sales were boosted because their poser of a bassist Pete Wentz posted nudes of himself on the internet. And I could never get their lyrics.

and replace them with...

Paramore

Infectious enthusiasm, power performances, and Haylie Williams. Need I say more? After getting treated to a dose of Paramore, you can only go "Avril who?"

...and...

The Click Five

Skinny jeans, emo hair, legion of female fans, and a pop influence to their music- POSERRRRR.

...replace them with...

Copeland

The piano, 'calm rock' sound we all love. Emo, but the good kind.

and finally...
(enough bands have been persecuted today. But hey, they deserved it)

The Jonas Brothers

I'm not exactly fond of blogging about wussies. Point made.

...and replace them with...

AH WHO NEEDS POP ANYWAY?!

I've probably broken the hearts of many Friendster-active, cellphone-wielding teenage girls already, so I shall end my persecution of particular bands. For now. Persecution of bad bands and the salvation of good music shall continue in the near future.

Yes, I do realize this is an extremely prejudiced post. I meant for it to be that way. Anyone who takes up offense for his/her favorite band(s) may engage in 'musical warfare' with me on their blog(s). Forewarning, though- I have the brilliant minds of Adriel, Joshua Chang, and Isaac Ravi ALL on my side. On the other hand, it never hurt to try.

Have a good day. Cheerio.
