    Constantly calling Moby "annoying" is getting annoying. I think he's a very genuine, unpretentious musician, and, yes, I like his music.

    It must be nice to be entirely without self-awareness, and to have no friends who will tell you when you are making an ass of yourself.
    You can get away with so much annoying garbage.

    I'm just confused. Is that supposed to be....funny? Is that what they were going for? It would seem so but simple logic is telling me that a normal functioning adult would not find that funny. so????

    Hipsters are just jealous of the cheesiness the rest of us are ashamed of having participated in. And by us I mean "us olds".

    "White hipsters." There's a redundancy there somewhere. :-)

    If we are going to compare musical efforts that effected change, none can compete with the following, which drastically lowered the obesity rate among inner city Chicago schoolchildren.

    @phlox: and vomiting back up in our laps, yes.


    I wonder if Elton John was in either of those too dreadfully serious music videos? Because that really would be ironic, since he just got bitch slapped by the English judicial system in the name of irony.

    Wait, is gawker mad about this? Am I supposed to be mad about this? Am I supposed to think it's funny? Can I laugh at how silly "We Are The World" was or not?

    Gawker is especially fond of mocking those who are themselves mocking something else. It's pretty standard.

    While "We are the world" had the mega-stars, I think "Do they Know it's christmas" was a better jam to get down to:

    If you were a new wave gay boy in the early 80's (in America) , this was the affirmation you were looking for.

    Whereas the original "We Are the World" did so much for the people of Africa, now only piracy can save them.
