not sure if I want to ban this one from my podcast, though as of late, this one is showing signs of aging.

I guess he's joined the dark side.

Haven't bought his last CD anyway. Was planning to, but forget it. Save my money for a MGMT CD instead. Better off using it to buy that Valerie Bertinelli book that's been on my wish list since last year.

I'm no longer buying any of those Dementia Track Fundraiser CDs either. Done.

Got three on my Lump of Coal list.

I'm done buying Fump CDs. My money ain't going to some of those reps who dis me, so I took down all of The Fump banners from my sites. Boycott is on. I don't want to be on their Auxiliary Member list either. With attitudes that bad, I'm glad I'm not on it.

Ironically, the one who invited me to the fump group on facebook is the one who defriended me there. I'm delinking from that group. No more publicity for them.

I thought they would be more open to more diverse ideas for dementia, comedy, novelty, weird, and other stuff. Sick of seeing other fellow Fump core members asskissing the other core members for their work. Let the ordinary joes post comments and shut the f#%k up about your own co-members stuff. Let them use their own brains to review the songs.

No more Fump sideshow postings for me after this year. The snobs don't get it and don't deserve any more publicity or money from me.

This dementia community is falling apart.

Dump The Fump

Parodies of Today's CHR Songs Strike Out (Dec 9, 2008)

Problem with artists writing song parodies is when they lift the melody of a bland CHR song that has no personality. Changing the mainstream lyrics to another set of lyrics, funny or not, helps by lifting it one star level, but the bland melody used for the parody just plain falls flat.

For more expamples of bland melody parodues, check out Robert Lund's songs whose writer spaff.com has been listening to Ryan Seacrest too long and is making fun of CHR songs that are bland and boring to begin with.

Spaff has been going downhill fast in 2008 with a song about Paris Hilton that would have been hot in 2002, but Paris is yesterday's news. His song "I Peed in the Pool" is suitable only for teenagers as it lifts it from the only pop song I remember in the past year, something from Katy Perry about kissing another girl.

Spaff's latest "Christmas Thong" uses a current pop song that I cannot name but it's just as bland as most of the current pop songs you hear on commercial CHR radio. The lyrics used in the parody are meant to be humorous, but just aren't funny.

Spaff is a corporate music sell-out, using other people's boring songs instead of writing some melodies of his own. Clear Channel must be thrilled that someone "funny" is using melodies of hit songs that were manufactured by the distant suits controlling the playlists of all of their stations.

Spaff also believes that I am behing the postings of George Orwell and Nomen Neisco in the rec.music.dementia newsgroup. With the kind of songs he's written lately (Bangin' Paris Hilton, I Peed in the Pool), it's no wonder that Spaff is just as idea challenged as most of the pop songs are getting airplay today on commercial radio.

Why are top 40 CHR melodies polluting the genre of dementia lately? Isn't CHR being champoined to death by the corporate radio companies? Sorry. Songs too much influenced by the dreaded CHR format aren't fun to listen to and are just as boring as the regular stuff you hear on commercial radio.

Yes anybody can do a parody, but why do some dementia artists use bad songs for parodies? They're using songs that are aimed at chicks that men my age never listen to and just don't get the parody?

Nobody with a penis can stand to listen to the songs on the playlists programmed by suits from a distant city. Unlistenable.

CHR music on Star, Channel, KIIS, etc., are aimed at women 18-34. They're not targeted for men by design. What are the men listening to? Talk radio. Satellite radio. Smooth jazz. Country. Traditional Jazz. Public radio. Classic rock. Classic alternative rock. Oldies. That's what we're listening to. We don't listen to today's CHR radio so we don't get this kind of melody at all.

If you want musical holocausts, listen to any of Ryan Seacrest's radio and TV shows such as American Idol. What passes for talent today is suitable only for chicks. That music is unlistenable. It's all about looking good and young rather than to make good music the way they used to make it in the good old days of the rock era (1955-88).

Quality of The Fump Questionable

Has the quality of the material from the core and auxiliary artists of The Fump strayed to mediocre? So many unfunny ideas have been posted on the main page of The Fump as of November 2008.

Seamonkey posted a song "Breathalyzer" whose lyrics very much stray from the spirit of musical dementia. It's as unfunny as a lot of the mainstream stuff found on commercial radio.

"Black Friday" by the great Luke Ski just doesn't get too funny at all.

Worm Quartet has peaked years ago and its latest "The Laundromat of Sin" is just plain awful.

MC Lars I like, but "My Chemical Terrorist Romance" is unsuitable for broadcast as its Squick label suggests. Just not funny.

What's with the land of musical dementia in 2008? Is unfunny the new funny or something else.

Speaking of unfunny, Robert Lund has hit a nadir with crap such as "I Peed in the Pool" and "I'm Everything". Art Paul Schlosser just can't seem to come up with anything funny and doesn't try hard enough to amuse.

Maybe I'm glad I'm not part of The Fump judging from the bad quality of music lately. Has dementia gone the way of mainstream radio and has lost its funny touch?

This isn't the kind of dementia that I care to hear. I want some comedy and funny lyrics. Not this kind of unfunny crap that the Fumpers are coming out with!

If I want to hear mainstream unfunny music, I'll tune in to today's top 40 radio. If I want some comedy, I'll program my own and broadcast it out on dfsxradio.com. I won't play THAT kind of dementia.
