I haven't been this overwhelmed by a feeling of "fuck this shit" in some time.

xp: haha, no this is actually a popular thing

I really shouldn't be spreading this crap.

I JUST HEARD THIS SHIT ON THE RADIO -- I can ride my bike w/out handlebars, I can rule a nation w/ a microphone, I can order pizza thru the Internet HOLY GOD SHUT THE FUCK UP and go back to writing edgy sock-puppet skits for your college TV station.

2 Skinny J's have so much to answer for.

I heard it while grabbing my lunch today -- when I got back to my desk, I Googled some of the lyrics, and about 20 folks QUOTING THIS SHIT ON MYSPACE came up before I got any info on the identity of this fuckstick of a band.

David R., Tuesday, 6 May 2008 18:58 (seventeen years ago)

Somebody feels my pain.

rev, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 19:05 (seventeen years ago)

apparently one of the dudes from this band was my 7 yr old cousin's teacher.

viola player sounds good, though.

kinda lame to link my own shit i know but I tried to warn y'all: http://idolator.com/386045/the-flobots-make-modern-rock-radio-safe-for-rappin-whitey-again

some dude, Wednesday, 18 June 2008 18:12 (seventeen years ago)

Sounds like he might've ripped some lyrics off a 7 yr old.

Noodle Vague, Wednesday, 18 June 2008 18:12 (seventeen years ago)

love the rap-rock (rock-rap?) article

Jordan, Wednesday, 18 June 2008 18:28 (seventeen years ago)

This goddamn sack of a song is going to make kids think it's cool to run "One Mic" through a Soul Coughing filter AND IT IS FUCKING NOT COOL.

David R., Wednesday, 18 June 2008 18:55 (seventeen years ago)

lolololol

some dude, Wednesday, 18 June 2008 18:59 (seventeen years ago)

This is on a major label?

FFS

David R OTM throughout thread. 2 SKINNEE Js conspicuously absent from that list up top too... (disclaimer I totally know those guys and they never intended for this to happen and they're very sorry).

Also I just want to be clear that "One Mic" is still awesome.

rogermexico., Wednesday, 18 June 2008 23:39 (seventeen years ago)

four years pass...

had to hear "handlebars" again (for work!) today, along with a bunch of other bad denver music. still awful!

tylerw, Wednesday, 27 February 2013 21:59 (twelve years ago)

haha I don't remember starting this thread. I do have a theory that no good music has ever come from Denver. The only exceptions I've been able to come up with are a couple EWF members and the Hercules and Love Affair guy.
