Kurt Cobain vs Guitar Hero - Dave and Krist speak

Just read this over at Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Great trainwrecks of our time - 7: Kurt Cobain vs Guitar Hero pt 2

Wait a second. Now I'm reading news stories on the web about this? I'll say this once, and once only, people. I'm not that interesting.

Great trainwrecks of our time - 6: Kurt Cobain covers Bon Jovi

Um. Grohl and Love sanctioned this one for the new Guitar Hero. So respect due to Grohl and Love then. Fucking corporate cock-sucking memory-destroying fret-wanking MTV-supporting fame-chasing money-grabbing grave-turning publicity-loving vacuous spoiled jaded cunting rock whores.

Great trainwrecks of our time – 5: Amy Winehouse and Paul Weller

Now, listen up. I'm a massive fan of Amy Winehouse. I'm an (ahem) slightly less massive fan of Weller. I'm an even slightly less massive fan of Jools Holland and his bleedin' boogie-woogie orchestra. But really, whatever anyone's merits, this is plain embarrassing - the sort of bluesy rock jam that even The Racounteurs might think twice before launching into. I said 'might'.

Great trainwrecks of our time - 4: Matthew Sweet meets Susanna Hoffs

On the way into college I was listening to the new Susanna Hoffs/Matthew Sweet album of cover versions, Under The Covers Vol. 2. Oh, those bastards.

Great trainwrecks of our time – 3: Paris Hilton meets Lady GaGa

Not musical this time, but...

Great trainwrecks of our time – 2: Radiohead cover Blondie

Some cover versions should just be forbidden under punishment of death by fire ants. And is it just me, or does this sound like waaaaaay bad Manic Street Preachers, no disrespect intended (to the Manics)?

Great trainwrecks of our time - 1: Franz Ferdinand meet La Roux

Fuck me, not that I want to pre-empt your own tastes here, but this really is bad. Gotta say it's more on Alex's part than La Roux's, as well.

Nirvana vs Rick Astley mash-up

I'm not sure what I think of this.

Little Boots vs Blur

My bullshit detector has gone walkabout momentarily.
