This blog is born of a New Year's resolution challenging myself to write every day. My goal is to regularly update this space with short music reviews—mainly songs, as that seems most manageable, but hopefully some albums as well—in order to exercise my skills of artistic critique (and perhaps expand my own sonic horizons in the process).

"Sorry For Party Rocking" LMFAO
Electropop duo LMFAO has been everywhere this past year: First, the dance phenomenon "shuffling" took over the summer thanks to their guilty pleasure smash "Party Rock Anthem." Then, follow-up ear assault "Sexy and I Know It" hit #1 last fall on the strength of a Speedo-tastic music video. Now they're back to chase away the winter blues with the title track from their album Sorry for Party Rocking, and...it pretty much sounds like a mash-up between their last two hits. Also, it's terrible. The song's refrain is dripping with more douchey sarcasm and misplaced confidence than you can shake a drunken frat boy at. Fortunately, "rappers" Redfoo and SkyBlu hardly matter on a track like this; the swirling, pounding synths are cranked so loud that it almost crowds out those nagging thoughts of how much you're hating yourself. That is, unless you catch a whiff of the lyrics. "Yo, I be up in the party/looking for a hottie to bone," the first verse begins. Just...ew. D-
