Looks as though it’s not just Buddyhead that is having a laugh at Pitchfork’s retarded taste in music after they put up that list of the 500 best songs of the decade. Even our homeboy Brian Cook from These Arms Are Snakes is jumping in on the fun. And not only did Brian diss PitchDORK, but the world’s greatest band SHAT (and another Buddyhead release Text) made it on his list of the best 500 songs of the decade with their hit single “Tit Fuck” (although we are confused how Shat didn’t place higher than #459, it’s easily #1 in our book). Here’s what Brian had to say about Shat and his list:
“…This is my list, subject to my own tastes, and obviously biased towards my friends’ bands and labels. I’ve tried to keep the irony to a minimum, but Shat and Daryl Worley received too much play on my iTunes to leave them off. Likewise, I’ve kept the guilty pleasures to a minimum, though I contend that liking Kelly Clarkson’s Breakaway album or any of the last three Blink-182 records is nothing to be ashamed of. So without further ado, the list …”
Yeah bro, we can’t really follow you into the world of manufactored American Idol’s like Kelly Clarkson or Warped Tour turds like Blink-182 but you get a get-out-of-jail-free card for simply reccognizing the greatness that is Jeff Wood and his band, SHAT!
