Found this one woot.com blog today.

I am not sure how you can be this bad at something and think that you are good.

I am a fairly harsh music consumer as many of you that know me already know. I am prone to get pissed at people that urban yodel the national anthem, people that sing the national anthem too slow, and i am constantly complaining to Emily about how the choir at church slows down the tempo some times 50% from the time they start the song till the time that they end, but this is just absurd.

How can all three people in the band be out of tune with each other? the singer is flat, the guitar is sharp, the drummer cannot keep a beat.

This is the most epic fail of music i have ever seen.

Unless of course they meant it as a joke. Then EPIC WIN!

Does this work?

  • Maint
