Difficult listening comes in many shapes and forms.
Here are two fine examples to listen to and cherish and induce migraines with.
Perhaps annoy roommates with repeated plays.
Use them wisely, Grasshopper
German Shepherds (1984)
The German Shepherds. Electronic fuckery and general irritating nonsense. Like them on Facebook and invite your friends to do the same. Music for all the bad times. Let "THC" be a warning to you while you're at it.
The obvious temptation would have been for me to rush this to post in the immediate wake of Prince's untimely demise. I resisted. I respect Prince more than that with an easy and obvious cash in.
So I present it now.
It's a three song single where Minneapolis' own Gear Daddies attempt three different covers to varying degrees of success.
First and foremost is a very passable version of the recently late Prince's "Little Red Corvette". It's not terrible and was/is probably still a good crowd pleaser.
They also make an under rehearsed pass at Marty Robbin's "White Sports Coat and a Pink Carnation" Amusing, but not unenjoyable nor any improvement on the original.
And then they have to go and top it off with what can only be considered a crime against humanity. A dramatic reading of the lyric of "The Rose" perhaps and inarguably one of the worst schmaltzy crap songs ever written.
It makes "We Built This City" seem like fucking genius. (Starship at least ever so slightly redeem themselves by including the Residents in the video for the shitty song)
I'd rather listen to a Merzbow marathon than sit through "The Rose" in any form ever.
Fuck that.
