While reading I caught a whiff of poor research and general pettiness.

its math rock, not emo. they made a song about a guy they don’t know, great, it obviously means they want to destroy him! what is wrong with some people?
tubelord are respectable, clever guys, and for you to stereotype them because they are in a band which make music which you evidently don’t like is completely out of order. Have you ever listened to their music? only a genius could come up with those pieces of incredibly harmonised riffs and mood-swinging phrases. Their time signatures are so irregular it is insane. Talent like them out smart any of this mainstream bullshit on the radio today, they scrape a living off making masterpieces whilst idiotic selfish popstars pay people to write and compose songs for them to sing and make millions of pounds. They do not need this hassle about making a song which includes a man’s name. That man should be proud his name is included in such an inspirational song!

you come across as very arrogant to think that someone justifying why they wrote their own song, describing them as a twit. why concentrate on killing him when they also say they want to be him, look a bit deeper into the meaning.

Agreement with James. It is a song, there is no harm to it, it is an expression of feelings. Tubelord aren't emo, more towards Alternative and Mathrock which is an amazingly hard genre to play requiring so much skill and knowledge about music. This is an extremely ignorant article with no depth of knowledge about the band.

@MayhenintheHood Musicians are small scrawny people eh? I'd like to see you ass get kicked by their musical talent.

Firstly Tubelord arn’t emo, and its just a song you’re pretty stupid if you take every line of a song seriously. They used it because he’s an icon in the music industry and has a cool name, the song is directly about him because quite frankly they don’t actually care they just wrote lyrics that were catchy; and it is a catchy song if you listen to it.

: And some of them have actually burned churches and been in Prison. Yet they still end up looking even less scary than Alice Cooper in photos: [upload.wikimedia.org]

Except Mayhem. They do kind of frighten me.

@AL: I was just going to say 'Deerhunter played in Providence?!' but after some googling I realized I saw a Deerhunter show in Providence before. Sadly, that was in my (very brief) druggy phase so I don't actually remember it. Weird.

@RaptorAvatar: The Choir Practice? I'd hate to feel their wrath. Or I'm from Barcelona. Or, for different reasons, Leona Lewis. She seems so vindictive and happy when she sings that blood song.

@futurehorse: He's reading Pitchfork, he thinks Spin is pretty swell/What about Idolator and...uh, I can't think of a rhyme for "swell" here.

@Maura Johnston: The thought of Peter and Nora from meek, drumless Tokidoki exacting revenge on Ira Robbins is enough to make me giggle (Ira too, I guess). Though it does sound like a concept Peter and Knapik would have dreamed up at the time.

Does the Angry Samoans' anti-Bingenheimer "Get Off The Air" count in this category? It's pretty vicious.

I gave a (major label) Dutch rapper a bad review a couple of years ago (I am from Holland as well) and he went on and made a song about me and posted it online. I couldn’t listen to it, I was so embarrased by it.

Broken Social Scene infected with the Rage Virus from “28 Days Later” would be kind of amazing. Hell, any band with a lot of people would probably be intimidating. (mob mentality etc.)

“Maybe A Girl” made me laugh out loud, by the way.
