MY FIRST KISS - 3OH!3 feat. Ke$ha

Yeah, anything Ke$ha touches automatically turns to brown.....

The other day on TV - Jay Leno, I think - I seen this crap referred to as "Alternative". Okay, I grew up in the 90's with bands like Soundgarden, Meat Puppets, RATM, Pearl Jam, etc. and even then there was a big discussion of what was considered alternative. Honestly I don't know what actually could be considered alternative; its a discussion that can turn into a confusing mess, much like today's "Indie" scene. In my opinion, alternative refers to music that transcends genres; stuff like Primus, MC 900 Ft. Jesus and Tom Waits. You know, artists that could be categorized in multi-styled or a fusion of some type.

As for this, the only thing that's alternative about this is it's alternative to GOOD. I wouldn't even use this CD as a coaster in fear it would make my soda taste sour.

Broken Wings - Mr. Mister

In the 80's there were many sub-genres of rock people like myself gave various styles of popular music/artists. For example, Skid Row was Glam Rock, Air Supply was wuss rock and in the early 90's college rock like Toad the Wet Sprocket and Hootie and the Blow Fish.

Well, this is Douche Rock; it's the kind of song that gives you an almost creepy feeling when you hear it played in public. On top of that, this song gives me uncontrollable spasms and I can only imagine how many suicides resulted from this song.
