guest post: 11 worst live televised performances of the past 15 years

[This post was compiled and written completely by my friend Connor, I am simply posting it here for your enjoyment! <3 The list goes from least-worst (11) to most-worst (1) with 1 honorable mention. Yay bad music]

11. Britney Spears VMA's 07.
Starting with an easy one. Really no explanation necessary.


10. Robin Thicke ft. Nicki Minaj. David Letterman.
Before Nicki was big, before Blurred Lines. There was this.


9. will.i.am - Bang Bang.
What needs to be said. A song from Great Gatsby and it was in black & white


8. Carrie Underwood - The Sound of Music.
Here for the non-singing parts, but it counts because it is that bad


7. Black Eyed Peas - Super Bowl Halftime show.
I blame Taboo.


6. Lana Del Rey. SNL.
So bad that she has tried to erase it from YouTube.
Lana Del Rey - Video Games (On SNL) (Live) (2012)



5. Mariah Carey, GMA
The dangers of live TV; the usefulness of tape delay for west coast


4. Kanye West, SNL, Love Lockdown
Woof


3. Kat Deluna, National Anthem
And met with a chorus of boos. Kat is still mounting her comeback.


2. Cassie, 106 & Park, Me & U
So bad that Diddy tried to wipe it from the Internet. Thankfully, he did not succeed.

AND THE NUMBER ONE WORST LIVE PERFORMANCE OF THE LAST 15 YEARS....
1. Ashlee Simpson - SNL/Orange Bowl 1-2 punch
How could Ashlee not be here?





(Honorable mention: Ciara - Away in a Manger)

to stare, to hear: cool shit of today

Click around the internet for five minutes, and I'll FOR SURE come across several things that I need to buy/love to listen to. I guess that's how it is being an angsty former-teenager living in a cynical bubble of her own discontent. Wait, did my goth-mentally just lose you? Don't worry I lost myself too.

Anyways, I've got 2 goodies to report on at 9am on this lovely cold morning 2 days before I return to the iced-over 9th circle that is Cambridge, MA. One to stare at, one to hear. I'm basically a poet.

To stare:

I'm obsessed with cocktails, you know, and I'm a tight-wearing fiend. They keep my legs warm when I wear over-the-top too-short dresses. And I was just clicking around when I got to House of Holland, went to the sale section AND FOUND THIS:

this is the one time i can tolerate martini glasses

You can find these beauties here, but unfortunately, they are SOLD OUT. Which is bullshit.They have a suit set in the same print, but it looks as if those are sold out as well. So I went hunting, but literally I could not find 1 thing printed with cocktails that wasn't sucky. Everything is so lame with cocktails printed on it, besides House of Holland pants/jeans/tights, but I'm not going to advertise the jeans or pants here because they come in very limited sizes, and I doubt I could get a pair of them that fit right. So for now, we'll simply have to stare at the site until these beauties are brought back. For the record, the site's kind of broken on my computer, so I'm iffy on the sizes of these tights too. The print is the focus here.

Cocktail-Printed Tights: £12.00 = $19.86
Which means you'd lay down probably $25 - $30 for those babes. Expensive, HoH, expensive but desirable.


To hear:

I'm a poser that's been trying to get into the "punk" scene I guess, led by TacocaT into Fat Creeps into reading Le Sigh and such. I don't know, a catchy-noisey sounding song with an apathetic or interesting-sounding woman's voice just gets me. I didn't even know I was listening to punk stuff until finding KLYAM. I'm so hardxcore I didn't even know it!




 I love the picture, love the lyrics, love the voice, and I love mollusks. So a win overall right here. Check out more of Baby Mollusk here.

i'm insane, here's my other "project"

My friend Andrew just left for 4 months in Australia, with no return flight to the US booked. I guess he's leaving forever because AU >> snow here, so a video was made for him as a general goodbye (sad feels all around). My other friend Kevin made the video (I have so many friends sorry if it gets confusing), and in it he put this little gem-and-a-half:



hot.

And this made me laugh very, very, very hard, so I ended up making this:

Which is now my side-project and will be added to my links sidebar. Get ready for a semester of MS Paint and not studying, MIT.


weeee,
