Blog this way.

I just got the following email from a publicist regarding a new band. I've edited it slightly to keep the identity of the offending group a secret (and also to spare your ears). My changes are in bold:
Wanted to get in touch with you regarding my new client TERRIBLE BAND NAME. They are this new band on SOUL-SUCKING MAJOR LABEL. 5 guys all from CITY WITH "HOT," "COOL" MUSIC SCENE-- Think Good Charlotte mixed with Maroon 5 but edgier.
Notice how that last line--the Good Charlotte-meets-Maroon 5 line--is completely unaltered.

Okay, seriously, I try not to be too much of a music snob because I realize my tastes do not necessarily align with that of the music-buying public (or even my co-workers and readers), but come on: Does that band not sound like the most awful thing ever? Thank your lucky stars I'm not telling you who this band is, because they're patently horrible. Consider it my gift to you.

(However, the blog title is a clue, if you must be so inclined to search this monstrosity out.)

more clues? i think this might be along the lines of sadomasochism but i'd like to hear this so called travesty.
