St. Joe’s Students Have Horrible Taste In Music

I’m on the mailing list for The Hawk, the official student newspaper of the St. Joe’s. I can’t really remember anything the paper has done since calling Cardinal Rigali gay in last year’s joke issue, but it turns out the paper has a horrible taste in music. Just look!

Yes, that’s Coldplay, leading The Hawk’s albums of the year section. It’s apparently just a random assortment of staff picks, which is why one of the albums of the year is also the Jonas Brothers. I’ll admit I’m not much of a music fan; I believe I broke my girlfriend’s ears with my constant playing of the 10-disc NFL Films soundtrack. Brian is definitely the one who should be tackling this. But whatever, I particularly liked the first sentence to the review of the Seasick Steve album, which is a person and/or band I believe was made up, and I wanted to note it:

In a world full of cute Stevie Ray Vaughn impersonators, Seasick Steve is a return to the gritty roadhouse sound of John Lee Hooker and Hound Dog Taylor.

    Hope you guys are able to break your record of 18 for most commented posts with this one

    Sadly, it’s better than most alt-Weekly “Best of Music” lists.

    Seriously, do we need another paper telling us we’re missing the latest lo-fi alt-rock crap album? Another review on some god-awful piece of crap by some band only the editor and his 5 friends know, not because they’re under-rated, but because they SUCK?

    I hate Coldplay, they ripped off Joe Satriani, namely that song. But the day an alt-weekly pounds on another paper for a music “best of”? HA!
