“Crowdsourcing killed punk rock. Hands down. Crowdsourcing kills art....”
– Christopher R. Weingarten, “Twitter and the Death of Rock Criticism” There’s probably no better way to explain how bands like Vampire Weekend and Pamplamousse end up assaulting our ears in advertisements. What’s the aural equivalent of apocalyptic wallpaper?

A site that basically reblogs things that show up on Tumblr Radar and links to memes? How is this at all different from any other Tumblr on the internet? And what about it is remotely noteworthy? In the future, all Tumblrs will be RocketBoom.

Do you want to watch Ron Artest sing a Christmas carol out-of-tune and then stare unblinkingly into the camera in dead silence? Of course you do. So brighten your holiday with this rendition of “Jingle Bells” by Artest, an extra goofy Pau Gasol, two Lakers Girls who are completely off the tempo, and the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers.

catmansmuckers: Fuck. Yes. Richard Harrow was one of the few consistent bright spots in ‘Boardwalk.’ I wish they’d give him a spinoff where he and Chalky White partner up and ruin people’s shit.
