What's the deal with.....

Some record company thought it was a good idea to have shitty emo bands cover shitty songs and then put them out as Punk Goes Metal and Punk Goes Pop and Punk Goes '80s and Punk Gets Even Shittier and Punk Gets Less Revelant. Then those same shitty ass bands thought it was a good idea to follow through with it. You'd think that somewhere down the endless line of managers, distributors, record label owners, band members, sound guys, engineers, studio owners that someone would have thought "Maybe this isn't such a good idea. You know we could spend this money on bands that are actually good or trying to cut a good record or just give it to Daniel Moore" but no. That did not seem to happen; well I haven't gotten the check yet but it might be on the way.

But if you're a real music fan you should be on the way to the store right now. Because otherwise you're gonna miss out on Stretch Arm Strong's classic take on "Get This Party Started." I'm going out on a limb and claiming this is a bad idea all around. Bad bands (who all sound the same so why anyone would think they could add life to other people's songs is beyond me) + (usually) shitty songs = one terrible idea. It's simple mathematics, you can't argue with it. Plus none of these bands are "punk," Goddamnitt. And if the song covered isn't shitty already why would I want to listen to some band I've never even heard of cover it? I'll just stick to Priest's version of "Breakin' the Law."
