#294: Dear Disillusioned Listener

Dear Disillusioned Listener,

I got to hearing of your little obsession with some particular bands. To tell you the truth, I've got to admire your fanaticism for them, except for one little problem. Them.

Before you get all huffy with my remarks, how 'bout grabbing yourself a cup of warm milk (I heard it helps) before coming back, and reading on.

Now that you're all calmed down, (wipe that 'milk moustache' off your face) in a purely friendly manner, allow me to cure the disease I call 'bad music taste'.

(And get another cup of milk. You're starting to get angry again.)


Are You... a Click 5 fan?

And You like them because... "My sensitive ears can't take all those hard rock! And they're soooo cute!"

You need... The Strokes. Catchy, fun rock (with a pinch of pop) beats. And not too hard on the ears either. (For the 'cute part', refer to Jonas Brothers below)


Are You... a Daughtry fan?

And You like them because... "I just loooove his husky, low voice. And Chris is such a hunk of a rocker!"

You need... SWITCHFOOT. The greatest band on the planet. 'Nuff said (plus I've got a thousand and one other posts in archives about them). And if Jon Foreman ain't a rocker, who is?


Are You... a My Chemical Romance fan?

And You like them because... "When I feel like killing myself, they make me feel worse. Plus their eyeshadow thing is wayyyy cooool. (*cough* Ben *cough*)"

You need... Lost Prophets. The hair, the outfit, and even eyeshadow- They've got the whole 'emo thing' put together. Did I mention they're good? Realllly good. Besides, Gerard 'Whiny' Way's voice- Ugh.


Are You... a Jonas Brother fan?

And You like them because... "They so ohmygawshing cuuuute!" (Yep, no musical talent required here)

You need... Me. There's always my Friendster and Facebook photos. Or try googling 'David Hasselhoff'.


I'd continue, but I am saving the rest should any debate on this matter arise. A reply will be anticipated. Until then... (you're not done with your glass of milk yet- finish it up)

Sincerely,
Cedric the Magic Gnome


I was joking 'bout the 'Hasslehoff part'.


The ABC's of good music. On Abang-gitar.
In desperate need of good music. On Josh Yee...
Click 5... is not Music. On Conspiracies of the Conspired Child.
I couldn't resist. On Life after death and taxes.

You heard about it all on it's a CEDRIC world FIRST.
