As I driving home today and listening to a mix CD I made, I started trying to make a good list of my top 10 favorite songs in history. I quit after a while, mostly because I figured that half of it would be Radiohead. Instead I focused on the top 5 worst things that my favorite bands have done in recent memory. Here goes:

• Jimmy Eat World uses Liz Phair as a backup vocalist on Work. Even though Futures was arguably Jimmy Eat World's worst album to date (like Laura always said, "What ever happened to Salt, Sweat, Sugar? Fuck."), they could have left the sellout off of the roster.
• Weezer pulls a Good Charlotte with Beverly Hills. Unbeknownst to me, Weezer is apparently not raking in the cash hand over fist. Rivers Cuomo complains, "I ain't nobody/ Got nothing in my pocket." Poor Rivers. I'm going to start collecting donations for our starving artist. Shut up and play Say It Ain't So, or hand to God, I'll have the Deftones do it for me. They've done it before.
• Scott Schoenbeck of The Promise Ring starts playing bass for Dashboard Confessional. Apparently this guy can't walk down the streets of Milwaukee these days without having insults shouted at him, and for good reason. Davey von Bohlen and Dan Didier may not be as rich as Scotty, but at least they're keeping it real with Maritime (possibly one of the most underrated bands of our time).
• Connor Oberst (you know... Bright Eyes) is a member, albeit briefly, of Norman Bailer, the band that would eventually become The Faint. Although The Faint would eventually correct this little problem, my heart was cleft in twain when I heard that their street cred was ruined by Connor Oberst's presence. This guy is like the pestilence and plague. Lover I Don't Have to Love was an alright song to get down to, though.
• John Mayer covers Kid A by Radiohead. I found this out in early 2005 and nearly killed John Mayer. How could he? How dare John Mayer sully the good name of my dear Radiohead with his stupid facial expressions and shitty interpretation of the consummate Radiohead masterpiece from the album of the same name. John Mayer is currently serving a life sentence on my shit list, and if you ask him about it, it makes him very upset.
