Songs on Repeat and WTF?????


I cannot get that song by Zack de la Rocha's new project, One Day as a Lion, with Mars Volta drummer, Jon Theodore out of my head.  I love that song, "Wild International", which has been very instrumental for getting me pumped in the morning.  I had to actually look up the lyrics, and I must say, good job, Zack!  These lyrics are powerful and meaningful, which is difficult to find in a song gets radio airplay.  So, I have a tendency to repeat it a few times in the car.  Also, "1,000,000" by Nine Inch Nails gets repeated quite often.  This track makes a great morning pick me up when it's raining outside and I can't get out of my car to go to Starbuck's to get some strong coffee, so I won't mess up my CHI'd hair. 
Now, for the WTF songs:  The Verve, "Love is Noise". . .I do not understand the possibility of this becoming a song.  There are dogs barking, throughout this song!  I guess if Mick Jagger doesn't write your songs for you, they essentially suck.  Some weird song, called "Black and Gold", by Sam Sparro--again, WTF.  This sounds like some bad Seventies nightmare.  This song would be best served on an adult contemporary station, soft rock, or smooth jazz, all of which induce homicidal and suicidal feelings within.  Yes, I did hear on Ryan Seacrest's website, the new track by Chris Cornell with Timbaland.  I love Chris Cornell, and again, WTF?  And, of course, WHY??????  Why, Chris, why???????  If my 14-year-old cousin downloads this song, every ideal I try to represent is compromised.  Chris, please, just put out some more "Euphoria Morning" or get back with Soundgarden.
