Up until a short while ago, I would've agreed with Yoko being the worst....but I found something that beats even her.
Upon the purchase of a few CDs at a local record chain store, I was presented with that month's free sampler CD. A perfectly innocuous looking thing on the surface, and sporting some songs which are not half bad.....Lamb of God and Elvis Costello in particular. Now some scallywag in the production department who put this thing together saw fit to include a previously unreleased track by Bjork titled "Komid"as the very first song on the CD. No warning labels, no Surgeon General's warnings, no international code icons for Danger, Toxic Waste, or Biohazard.
This is, quite honestly and with no exaggeration whatsover, the worst "music" I have ever heard in my entire life.
Four minutes of sonic dissonance that has no discernable instrument other than individual notes and chords on a piano that never continue for more than a few seconds at a time, I wonder if it was recorded in Arkham Asylum. Several vocal tracks are layered on top of each other and are punctuated half way through with something that sounds like an asthmatic bulldog that is masturbating...........badly.
I'm not sure if Komid is a phonetic variant on Kommode or not, but it seems appropriate.
To those of you who know what my pet peeves are, let me make some comparisons.
> I'd rather watch "White Chicks" , "Highlander 2", and "Batman and Robin" than listen to this.
>I'd rather listen to a Menudo-Spice Girls duet of "Rico Suave" with WHAM! doing back up vocals and C.C. DeVille playing guitar
>Carol Channing doing a Slayer cover in Swahili would be better than this.
>I'd rather eat sauerkraut at a Chris Kattan Fan Club meeting
Ever seen the video for Leonard Nimoy's rendition of "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" ? This is orders of magnitude worse. It makes Shatner's recording of "Mr. Tambourine Man" sound good. Hell, this makes Yoko Ono sound like Enya.
I played this for Cthulhu, and he cried and ran screaming in the other direction.
Maybe Van Gogh wasn't as crazy as everyone thought.
(Honorable mentions to Billy Ray Cyrus, the Bee Gees, and Vinnie Vincent)
amazing rant! Though I have to confess I like some of the Björk songs! Like "Army Of Me" or "It´s Oh So Quiet"-but these are songs. I didn´t hear the one you say Power, but she´s probably a kind of crazy "artist"
