From the depths of pop culture mess
Folks, I am happy to announce that there is a pop band out there that is worse than McFly. WAY WORSE. As you probably all know, I like the band. Nyahaha. I KNOW. I like an assortment of brit pop artists as well. It's something rather unusual that I picked up from watching too much Top Of The Pops. But I haven't watched it in months.
I tune into MTV and find Hilary(sp?) Duff's new video on TRL. Yes, Hilary seem to have lost most of her baby fat already. Perhaps it comes with being girlfriend to a much older dude. At least it's not a very drastic change like all the fat out of her got sucked in by a vacuum all at once. Anyway... After shifting channels, I came back later to TRL to find a bunch of guys wearing ugly matching black suits (black ties, and blue polos.) They're like McFly made 50x worse. (Some of the reasons supplied below.)
Behold, The Click Five. Only one, or five, of the many things that make you give the TV a death stare.
1) There are 5 of them instead of 4.
2) They have 3 part harmonies.
3) Both the lyrics of TCF (because their name's too long) and McFly are cheesy, but the music TCF makes to go along with it is even cheesier. Not as bouncy and 60s rock inspired as McFly, but of course that's just me.
4) They have ugly matching suits. Ugly. They can't pull off the suit thing as good as, let's say, The Killers.
5) Some of their members look like jocks.
6) They try to make up for face value with almost uniform Beatle's-inspired hair cuts.
7) They overdid their name with the The and the number. The to make them sound slightly rock to the unsuspecting idiot, perhaps, and the Five to, I don't know... make them sound like a bunch of sensitive guys or something (this may be related to popularity of numbered group names among boy bands or Maroon 5 - not that I don't like them, in fact, I do appreciate their music).
Forgive me, my brain is half-soup at the moment.
But whatever, you don't really care about them.
Instead, let me share with you 3 books that I want so much I'd buy them when I am no longer broke.
1) Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
2) Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
3) Non-Fiction by Chuch Pahlahniuk

I was able to catch The Click Five on TRL, too. I think I saw them on a US magazine earlier as some "rising acts" thing, and yes Maroon 5 really comes to mind. But then, I don't know, I really don't get it these days when all these "famous" bands sound like New Order or look like The Beatles hehe. But we could all give them a chance. Hehe.
Sorry if that sounded frank. Look at the time I wrote this. hehe.
Hey no prob, all's good anyway.
Maybe we should give them a chance, I don't really have a problem with them because a lot of other groups have gotten away with it in the past.
But I'm not listening to them. Heh. (Maybe to torture myself or something.)
