If all else fails this year, and it probably will, we at least got a cracking new episode of “What Makes This Song Stink” from Mr Finnerty… Pat may never quite top the “Kravitz Bowl” video, but this is beautiful in so many ways too. I’d never heard of “Lonely Road” until now, and Jesus fuck it is RANK, a hideous interpolation of a certain John Denver song. It’s the sort of thing that makes me glad I’m mostly out of touch with what constitutes pop music these days. But—and this is truly impressive—it’s actually NOT the worst song featured in the video. There’s actually at least one song in here (that “Chevrolet” nonsense) that sounds even worse. Also, Pat has threatened us with a video about Disturbed’s version of “Sound of Silence”, so THAT’s something for us all to live in terror of if there weren’t enough such things…
