Western Civilization Finally Bottoms Out

Oh, cool, it's sailor cap-wearing douchebag Bono, backed by the ever-risible Arcade Fire (have so many musicians ever sounded quite so thin?), covering "Love Will Tear Us Apart"!

Can't wait to hear dude's insights on Leonard Cohen at Film Forum! Bono, truly you are rock's great ambassador; now get right to work on covering Ian Curtis' finale!

You should be thanking Bono for every minute you live on this Earth, because only Bono will save you. Get used to it.

As the Onion pointed out years ago, Bono needs a punch in the crotch (as does "good-crotch-punch-needing-Larry") but seriously: why take a lazy shot at the Arcade Fire? C'mon. They sound shitty in this clip -- actually, it's hard to hear them over the crowd noise, because this was probably shot with a cell phone -- but they've produced a perfectly cromulent album. And hey, I love Joy Division, but they sounded kinda "thin," too, don't you think?

Yeah, man. Rip apart the subtle mic stylings of someone's cameraphone as compressed into a YouTube clip. Why doesn't it sound like a Super Audio CD? WHY!!?? Do a search for puppies getting thrown out of cars and maybe that'll bring a little joy into your otherwise dour and hate-filled existence.
