Welcome to the Moyesidential Debates of 2009, where I need your help to prove that I’m really not all that lame.
So here’s the first question. What’s more embarrassing? The fact that this song used to be MY JAM in the summer of 2000 (and still is, deep down inside my heart) or that B knows pretty much all of the lyrics to 311′s songs by heart?
I say 311.
Since you guys pretty much sided with B over the pumpkin pie argument, you’ll probably agree with him again.
Leave me alone.

What’s more awesome than seeing an entire line-up of some of your favorite bands like the Gaslight Anthem and Alkaline Trio for charity?
Watching another favorite band show up on stage and play an impromptu set.
I don’t think I’ve ever been that excited at a show before. We managed to find some really awesome seats at the Key Club (where there really are no seats) so a four hour show wasn’t as uncomfortable as it could have been!
Photos after the jump.

But this song, Thought I Knew, on Weezer’s Red Album is fucking horrible.
There’s a reason why Rivers is the lead vocal in the band. There’s also a weird reason why he has a Japanese fetish but I don’t want to get into that. There’s no reason why this song should have been included on the album.
And yes, I have listened to this song more than once. I actually liked it in the beginning, but when the song comes back inside your brain with an annoying voice singing lines (SORRREEEEE) that you feel like he came up while taking a dump, then no. This is not a good song. I will say that the song starts of catchy with the guitars…until it completely degenerates into a craptastic pile of poop.
I know I’m not alone, cause check out the tag added on last.fm.

Please listen to my favoritestest song right now. One by One by Robert Francis from his album aptly titled “One by One.”
Listen to all those banjos and violins and PIANOS! Every song needs to contain at least two of those instruments. And trumpets. I heart trumpets.
I want trumpets, banjos, violins and pianos playing at every memorable moment in my life: wedding, funerals (especially mine), births, watching beautiful sunsets, taking a nice poop, whenever I come up with a really amazing idea or even after a good sneeze.

You just have to wait for someone else to commit suicide first.
This news story made me laugh: Tommy DeCarlo, a Home Depot worker, achieved his life-long goal of becoming a rock band singer after his daughter posted him singing along to Boston songs. The band noticed and hired him as their new singer, cause the original guy, Brad Delp, killed himself in 2007.
DeCarlo made his debut onstage at a tribute concert to Brad Delp last August. It was the first time he sang with a band in his entire life. (link)
Pretty crazy…or pretty desperate.
Now I just have to wait until Tommy kicks the bucket so they can bring me on.

Is there anything more exciting than learning that Epitaph Records will be re-releasing the Offspring‘s first two albums, Ignition and Smash, completely remastered and even more hardcore?
Let’s see…nope.
Is there anything more embarrassing than realizing that you have not one, but THREE Offspring CDs (unless I sold one) and that they kinda sorta really do suck, especially after you hear NOFX’s “We Hate Whoas” song?
Let’s see…nope.
Whatever, at least I’m not obsessed with AFI.
Please? I mean, I already know all the words cause I used to lip-sync this by myself in elementary school.

So I am keenly aware (and reminded daily) that I have some pretty bad taste in music. Sometimes I care, sometimes I don’t, sometimes I just listen to the songs that come on my iPod and have to laugh at myself because it’s just so ridiculous. But it’s all so good.
I listened to Jack’s Mannequin the other day, and was so embarrassed again. I mean, who does this guy think he is, being all rebellious while his songs are so incredibly cheesy and emo with pianos and breathless singing and yeah, it’s pretty catchy. I love it.
I mean, I know that the lead singer had cancer so I can’t really laugh at him, but some of his lines are make me want to slap him. On the balls.
For example, here’s his song, “I’m Ready.”
There’s a part in between lines where he says the following:
I put on the same clothes I wore yesterday.
When did society decide that we had to change
And wash a tee shirt after every individual use:
If it’s not dirty, I’m gonna wear it.
YEAH, ANDREW!! TELL IT TO THE MAN!! I hate how society tells us to wear clothes only once! ARRGHHH! I hate society!
Seriously, though. It’s not society telling you to do this. It’s called “common courtesy.” There’s a reason why white boys like you wear clothes only once–because you guys STINK. And if you want to go ahead and wear the same clothes over and over again, then don’t start whining if your fans stop hanging around you.
Your t-shirt is dirty. It probably gave you cancer, too. So don’t wear it.
And try to find something else to be rebellious about. I don’t know, but maybe like using your right to vote? Taxing the rich more? Not watching television? Something else about society. Please? Thank you.

If you’re going to name your new album, “Welcome to the Dollhouse,” at least pay tribute to Todd Solondz’ awesome movie.
You had a wonderful opportunity to show a quirky, creative and indie side to your group but instead you just pose in the typical slutty lingerie outfits. BORRRING.
How awesome would it have been if you all dressed up like Dawn Weiner? I probably would have bought your album in support. But noooo, you had to go all stupid on us. How unoriginal can the music industry get?
Whatever.

PS. Which one of you slept with Diddy again?

One of my favorites things on the AV Club (which, I have to admit, don’t really read that much b/c the overwhelming amount of funny material to read kind of just…well…overwhelms me) is their Random Rules feature, where they interview a celebrity by shuffling through their ipod. GENIUS! Why didn’t I think of this?
I mean, how hilarious is this? Everyone has something embarrassing on their ipod that they’re lying about or hiding from their friends/family/fans/hipster reputation. And this interview process isn’t about exploring your super cool music knowledge and taste. This is about finding those potentially humiliating songs and calling you out on it. (At least, that’s how I see it.) Some of them are hilarious. Some of them are super boring.
Since I’m on the verge of celebrity stardom, this morning I compiled my own list of albums that I should delete asap off my ipod when the AV Club call to set up an interview:
Albums that I know I should delete but somehow can’t, because they’re still so good:
