the end of really smooth music

Yacht Rock
Like all great things, Yacht Rock, too, must come to an end. And I guess it did by getting canceled with a somewhat sub-par episode 10 a couple weeks ago. Oh well. I had learned more than I ever wanted to about really horrible music, and I don’t know how much more my head could have taken. But just to reconstruct the history, here is a linear sequencing of the show (ignoring the horrible Jethro Tull-focused episode 6).

    I have built the fortress of smoothitude and it can never be penetrated by your post-rock-garage-electro-clash-shoe gazer-poo music. Hahahahha! (deranged forboding laugh)

    Relax, hotshot. My artists fuel their vessel with their blood. And their broken dreams!
