Yoko Ono ruins her own record


Last night while I was watching American Idol, I reflected on all the contestants who had failed to make a positive impression on the judges. Withstanding the fact that these two gentlemen were involved with some questionable music, and the lady is a drunk, I've been thoroughly entertained this season, most likely as a result of the contestants' tomfoolery. This, in turn, got me thinking about other people who couldn't sing, and I settled on Yoko fucking Ono.

When I initially heard the news of a Yoko Ono remix album- I was pretty fucking stoked. "You mean a collection of mediocre indie music artists covering Yoko Ono original compositions? Fuck!" Turns out that Yoko still moans in broken english all over the fucking thing- which turns into one giant mess by the end of the sordid affair. Everyone keeps talking about the Peaches collaboration song on here- and there are many other disco songs to choose from- as well as a real snore in her song with gender-challenged critic favorite, Antony. The only song I was looking forward to was "Walking On Thin Ice" which is a song that originally appeared on Season of Glass following John Lennon's death. Here, Jason Pierce of Spiritualized does his absolute best to make the self-proclaimed witch listenable. Musically, the song is pretty redeeming compared to the rest of the white funk allstars celebration going on, but Yoko is once again ruining quality music by raising her voice. Thanks Yoko. Don't buy this shit.
