Liam Lynch: United States Of Whatever
Remember back when I did my Outkast review and I said it would take something special to beat that for being my single of the year? Well that was destroyed in just 1 minute and 26 seconds.
Liam Lynch is a more or less unheard of in the UK. He created Sifl & Ollie (the talking socks on MTV), worked with people like Dave Grohl on his Probot project and Tenacious D including directing the video for 'Tribute'... Busy fellow I am sure you will agree and as a little side project he writes songs like this stonker!
Original performed on the S&O show, think of McLusky going garage rock being sung by The Hives for just under 90 seconds and you are heading down the right road and don't look for deep lyrical content because it isn't there, but a catchphrase for the youth generation certainly is - "and I'm like 'YEAH WHATEVER!!!'"
This song WILL go stellar (been over Radio 1 like a rash over the past few weeks) and I just hope it doesn't suffer overkill because this is the kick in the ass the charts need, hell, what we all need and if it's a pair of conversing footwear that has to get the point across, well, at least someone fucking is!!!

this song is shit. really shit. he made up the words as he went along and you can tell. the backing music is a pastiche of a lousy genre. the best point about it is that it's in one ear out the other in half the time of comparable toss. -
Re: Liam Lynch - United States Of Whatever
Fair enough, thats your view and I disagree... ahh sweet democracy. -
Re: Liam Lynch - United States Of Whatever
I think the songs pretty dreadful too. But then i'm just the editor/fascist..
I don't get all this novelty garage - its like eminem hip-pop or halo ripping off the pumpkins... everything has to be debased i spose. -
Re: Liam Lynch - United States Of Whatever
It was really great and funny... for 5 listens. Now it's just annoying. -
Re: Liam Lynch - United States Of Whatever
'whatever' is gonna be the new 'wassssuuup' which is pretty fucking annoying

Re: Liam Lynch - United States Of Whatever
Well I'm with Colin, I think it's pretty ace. Whether it will still be after 100 listens remains to be seen. And a lovely comment on American youth "culture". (spot the oxymoron ;) )

Re: Liam Lynch - United States Of Whatever
i agree that this song is shit, but it was meant to be shit. it's a joke. why do you think it appears on an album called "fake songs?" it wasn't supposed to sound good. i think you're just upset that something so inane would become a chart-busting hit. i can totally see this song getting overplayed to the point where no one wants to hear it, which is truly a sad thing. i found it very entertaining.
