Ears Wide Open: Perfect Dilemma

I mostly do not bother with the likes of Perfect Dilemma, the collaboration between Jeff D’Agostino and Aaron Dudley that demonstrates how low the bar remains in the major-label world. But after reading some online debate today about Pitchfork’s laughable coronation of the milquetoast Twin Shadow record, I thought I’d share some of what litters our email. Because there are degrees of crap. Perfect Dilemma takes the absolute worst of rock, hip-hop and electro, mixes in de rigueur dubstep gimmickry, plumbs for the most profane and dumbed-down lyrics ever, and comes up with “Life Sucks.” And a deal with Interscope Records. Presumably Timbaland took a shower after this one. “Life sucks / then you die.” And then you go to hell. And they’re playing Perfect Dilemma.

There’s obviously a gap in the market now that the execrable Pendulum have called it a day.
F*ck indie cred Kevin. This is the jam. Get paid Kevin!
Jesus, that song makes Brokencyde sound like Philip Glass.
this song reminds me of the sunset strip music festival.
wow, you were angry there was no baseball yesterday
Kevin Federline heard saying, “finally, my song no longer tops the all-time worst list.”
People spent a lot of money on creating this “art.”
How come interscope did not sign a band like NO or Tapioca and the Flea or Incan Abraham, or any one of the other great bands in LA ?
embarrassing. ( face palm ) This makes me think less of interscope as a label, and a group of decision makers.
