HAMMOND: To truly be a pop star, you kind of have to. I couldn't pass American Idol.
SAMBERG: You could do okay on Britain's Got Talent, though.

This is brilliant.

And this is exactly why I love Albert. He always says EXACTLY what he thinks about other bands/singers out there. He obviously hates most of the pop/mainstream rock and he's not afraid to admit it. A lot of the times I feel like even the coolest indie bands just HAVE to say they 'really dig' certain MTV stuff in their interviews (like "Oh yeah, our music sounds like Joy Division, but we do LOVE Kanye West SO BAD!") just so that don't get killed by the mafia. But not Albert, no sir!

I can say things like these in my LJ, naturally. But to say it flatly just like that in a magazine... After all the ass-kissing of the artists you get to see nowadays, I really admire him.
Could you just leave my response completely blank? How can you even judge it? I mean, a writer wrote the song, the producer produced it. I guess she's singing, but she sounds like a robot

By the way...

That is some fabulous facial hair. It looks like he grabbed a marker.
