Cranes and cranes and cranes and blogs.
First, I must apologize to the fantastic new band Johnny Foreigner, as I mistyped their debut album's title in my last blog -- it's actually called Waited Up 'Til It Was Light, and I wholeheartedly support purchasing it when it's released October 14 on Nettwek. In the meantime, I highly recommend checking this band out on their MySpace, or listen to some of these jams below:
Secondly: Who in the holy fuck are the Jonas Brothers and how have I not heard a single song by this band in my life? They're on the cover of Rolling Stone and have two albums in the Billboard Top 10 this week (their new one debuted at No. 1 with their prior album re-entering the charts at No. 10). My only recollection of this band is a mediocre review we gave one of their older albums a few years back. What the fuck happened? I fully blame the Disney Channel, which might as well just be a death cult by this point. Not to sound like a cranky old man (I'm only 26!), but fuck, man, music used to be so good.
Oh, Johnny Foreigner, rid us of the Jonas Brothers, won't you?

The Onion said that they're what The Strokes would be like if they preached abstinence....
I totally get what you mean about the cranky old thing, Scott, haha. I'm 27 and completely out of the loop as to what's wildly popular. Never heard the Jonas Brothers either. Since I bought my iPod, I haven't listened to the radio at all except for the shitty soft rock station I'm forced to at work. They're a bit slow on the uptake, so songs are usually out for a while before they start playing them. So many times, my coworkers are incredulous that I've never heard them before. But you know what? I'm never missing anything. And my coworkers have bad taste in music!
I remember seeing that review. I don't know what's popular. The people at work are all about the rap. Me? I've been rocking the miniature tigers, gentleman auction house and mock orange. Are they popular?
I WISH!
funny you should mention disney robots, i mean kids. i too was curious about the jonas bros, miley and whoever else the industry greaseballs have on the roster. (i remember the jonas bros playing on mtv and one of them tripped- im laughing a little right now). so i actually watched a few parts of the teen choice awards this year while i picked my toenails. picking my toenails prooved to be much more entertaining because i ended up turning it off and doing a pedicure. it could also have been because im a 25 year old fart.
This is almost as bad as the time you still thought an "Umbrella" was something that shielded you from the rain.
I loved the new AP show, and I always make up words to Polytics (SP?) and I am now going to search for sushi peck
No seriously, the Jonas Brothers are really trying to take over the world. One stupid, opinionless 13 year old girl at a time. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid.
