Tomorrow at Aziz Ansari and Friends, my roommates Merlin and Zach will be joining me for some bits. We were talking last night and decided its time for a sequel to the Shittiest Mixtape contest.
Many people email me saying they could think of way better songs, etc. Well - here you go - post the songs you think would be good on the comments of this thread. Zach will read it and pick the 5 most popular from the list. (Only post one song in each comment). The key to these songs is that they should be pretty recognizable, although some weird Hungarian tuba troupe's music is real shitty, it just wouldn't work.
Comment it up. You have til 5:30 pm on Tuesday.
I'll pick 5 songs too, and the loser will walk around blasting the mixtape. (If I don't lose, I dunno who will represent the public, we'll deal with it if that happens.)
UPDATE: PLEASE POST SONGS IN THIS FORMAT TO MAKE TALLYING EASIER FOR ZACH -
Artist - Title
Ex: Gloria Estefan - Conga
UPDATE 2: A message from Zach:
Hey everyone,
We appreciate the suggestions you all have been dropping. Thanks. However, as the creator and crowned king of the shittiest mixtape, I have no qualms about telling you that you all need to step your shite-song games up. The songs need to not only be bad, but be universally known, and most importantly, EMBARASSING. EMBARASSING! EMBARASSING! Eddie Murphy's the man. I'll bump anything by him at any time. Let's go, people! 1:54 PM-Permalink
Other Music Video
Here's the Other Music video from the Plug Awards. We're screening the other Plug video at Pianos tomorrow and that'll be up next week sometime probably.
UPDATE: This weekend, I ran into a member of Interpol who confirmed that this video has in fact been forwarded to Carlos D. 12:21 PM-Permalink

Andy Votel
When I was in LA, my friend Jeff introduced me to these mixes by this guy Andy Votel. First off the two titles - "Songs in the Key of Death" and "Music to Watch Girls Cry" - are probably the two best album names ever.
Recently, I've been hooked on these things. Especially "Songs in the Key of Death." If you're into psych rock (like DJ Shadow's "Diminishing Returns" Disc 2 that I always mention), bizarre Beatles covers, sample sources, and gems from weird rock genres from South America, India, and Eastern Europe - you will totally dig these mixes.
