/\ ok so where is the problem?

I heard Misery Business and I thought "you know, if this was covered by Elivs Costello, I bet people would think he wrote it himself."

Granted the music sounds like something Billy Talent threw away but the lyrics save for the opening two lines sounds like something people would find to have more cultural value had they not looked like a bunch of clowns and had it not been done in a style that reminded people of a slew of other terrible bands.

Also, I listen to teh radio very infrequently, and I heard this song only on the alternative station here, which means the mainstream ones (and the college ones I suppose) are not playing them. If you jam the radio constantly, you are going to think bands are far more over hyped than they actually are. This is why i could never understand the greenday hate. Those songs were good, and its no ones fualt but your own if you hear theirs or anyone else's songs 30 times a day.
