an open letter to raine maida
dear raine maida,
that’s enough.
seriously. you can’t sing and your songwriting is mediocre at best… why on earth would you release a solo album?
that “yellow brick road” song is just fucking terrible. terrible. every time it comes on the radio i cringe, and then immediately change the station or turn it off. the lyrics are so painful. i think a 6 year old could have written those.
actually, last night i farted out better lyrics than those in my sleep.
oh, and saying “shhh” in a song instead of shit is not clever or new. just say shit. it’s not fucking hard.
damn it you suck. you suck it long and hard.
also, you look like a male version of ellen degeneres (not that it’s a bad thing… i’m just saying.)
and while i’m at it, why are you dressing like kevin federline in a wifebeater, a vest and jaunty cap?
in conclusion raine, please turn down the suck. you’ve got the suck knob cranked up to 11.
sincerely, vancitrockgirl.

holy shit he DOES look like ellen! i’ve never noticed that before.
that song is absolute shit. he sucks. olp sucks (although i DID at one point like a few songs on naveed).
i have had the displeasure of hearing him live more times than i would have liked. most of the times were at edgefest, but at least there were other bands/things i could do. my friend dragged me to see them once at gm place. i left after 3 songs. he sounded like a cat was being dragged through a meat grinder!

THANK YOU TIMES ONE MILLION for having the courage to stand up to this song. I mean – honestly? Faux-spoken-word over an acoustic guitar? SERIOUSLY? That’s how far we’ve come?
What’s next – the return of ska, played by some goofy middle-class suburban white guy with baggy shorts and dreadlocks?

I missed you, Nat. I haven’t read your blog in so long. I’m glad we can still unite in unbridaled hatred.
