these are all awful but i've never heard or read a quote of anything from their 'good' albums that didn't make me cringe too.

It seems to me more and more like James Murphy is going to morph into Mark E. Smith as he gets older.

it's not "most unlikable lyrics" it's "worst/dumbest/most painfully embarrassing." and the reason some people find them to be that is because they'd sound ridiculous coming out of someone's mouth without (and occasionally) great eno-rock under it, and they look ridiculous listed together in a poll. it's not really that fascinating (though i regret not seeing this poll before it was closed, it's pretty lol).

that sound be (and occasionally with)

― da croupier, Monday, 17 May 2010 12:57 (fifteen years ago)

"i'm losing my edge"... how ridiculous! "to kids from paris... and cologne"... how embarrassing!

yes that is what i'm saying
