I think it's been a sh*te year for music, most of the stuff I've got has been best of collections (Prodigy, Offspring etc). A couple of good ones were Gorillaz (Demon Days) and Kanye West (Late Registration). I'd find it a lot easier to list the top 100 piece of sh*t albums of the year. James Blunt would be right up there at the top, he makes me want to shave my own ears off.
Look at the heap of arse competing to be number one this Christmas. Sheep singing jingle bells and the **** ****ing ****** crazy frog? Nutsacks to that! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4492176.stm Sorry, rant over.

1. That James Blunt one (in the words of the late great Bill Hicks, he must have sucked Satan's c*ck to get famous) 2. Bloody G4 (thanks a f***ing bunch, X Factor or Pop Idol or whatever show spawned these f***wits) 3. Robbie Williams (please just go away now before your ego expands any more and causes your stupid ugly head to explode. Actually, on second thought...) 4. Will Effing Young (see 2) 5. Westlife (bunch of dribbly talentless 14-year-old-girl-loving tossy Irish arse) 6. Gwen Stefani (just cos no doubt did one or two OK songs it doesn't mean you can break off and release a huge turd like this on the world. Holla back? You won't be able to holla anything with a sword rammed down your ****ing throat) 7. Pussycat Slags (Dont cha? Stickwitu? What are you all, like 12 years old? And why does it take 6 of you slappers to form this sh**ty band when only one of you seems to sing and none of you have any talent whatsoever? F*** right off!!!) 8. Coldplay (I just don't plain like them. And what kind of name is Apple?) 9. Madonna (I like her cheesy old stuff being a child of the 80s. Her new stuff is toss) 10. Girls Aloud (see 2 yet again, these shows should be ****ing banned) *Exhales deeply* Okay, I think I've got it out my system now. Thanks for letting me vent!

He's got a name right out of a Viz comic. James Blunt, he's such a....runt? And yeah, we have a lot of those types of shows, at least a couple a year, which means plenty more dross being released every year.

Uh-oh. I've got the gut feeling that if these shows are any popular, they're going to be adapted for German TV. Soon. (Can't wait..)
What I really hated this year were these "super stylish gentlemen with British accents badly trying to play daddy's rock'n'roll" kind of bands (Maximo Park, Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party). Bah.

It's worse than the sound of a thousand screaming children, a million squealing alarms, the very sound of Satan and his demons tearing apart the souls of millions with hideous piercing laughter. It sucks ass.

LOL! Oh how I wish I were allowed to post a rant in my mother tongue.. at least once. (And I still don't think it's that bad. But.. I even like Coldplay, though normally I've got that habit to tell all Coldplay geeks to listen to Pedro The Lion instead.)
