Sincere, honest and straightforward

Don’t you sometimes feel sad and alienated, wishing you were born in the sixties, being a punk rocker with flowers in your hair and all that? Music nowadays is all about trivial nada, don’t you think? Where is sincere social criticism and who decided we could melt it down to some kind of degraded black self-pitiful sorry excuse for music and call it emo? Well, let me tell you, there is a way out!

We all know what is bothering us most these days, and it’s not the war in Irafghanistosovo, nor global warming, not even to mention the total lack of organ donors and the shameless misinterpretation of a brilliant Dutch TV show putting this on the international political agenda. No, it’s Britney, Lindsay, Paris, Nicole and Amy, you know, the actual rulers of the world.

Social criticism thus should be about them, and them alone. Let me suggest some examples of what social engagement should sound like:

CSS – Meeting Paris Hilton
I’m From Barcelona – Britney
Pase Rock ft Spank Rock – Lindsay Lohan’s Revenge
Paris Hilton - Jealousy (about Nicole Richie) (vid)

Hereby I promise Ulkedoof will be the first music website to publish a track about Amy Winehouse’s misbehaviour in an airplane last week. Musical geniuses can send in their songs by leaving a link in the reply section.
