lonely0 - The lonelyIdol0 contestants: 1



After our recent mention of JFK and the occult, we felt compelled to mention this related song by the Lamp of Thoth.

As such, we shall also include them in a contest which we shall call lonelyIdol0, similar to American Idol and so on. It is judged stringently by the following categories:

Meditative - Is the music meditative?
Calm - Is it calm, and free from disturbing influences to this?
Atmospheric - Is it atmospheric in an effective way?
Inside job - Does it say that 9/11 was an inside job?
Threatening - Do they have an intimidating glare?
Respectable Diction - Does it use good, respectable diction?
0 - We give it a 0 in this, to furnish our harsh judging credentials.
French - Does it understand French?
Does it explain what the DUP is? - Self-explanatory, yet important. Does it answer the all-important question: What is the Democratic Unionist Party?

Each is out of 10. Here is our rating for this song. Commenters can chat about this freely.

Meditative - 5. While the music is repetitive, and introspective, it lacks true meditative poise.
Calm - 3. Despite reporting their condition as quite different, they then in some ways negate this by transitioning to an aggressive 'chorus,' hence balancing that slightly.
Atmospheric - 2. The atmosphere conflicts. Nonetheless, it does try. Give it a hand for effort.
Inside job - 4. It stops just short of declaring that the cause of freedom compels them to destroy the WTC.
Threatening - 4. It is aggressive, however it doesn't always further this. It often takes steps backwards.
Respectable Diction - 10. It says 'whore.' Good enough, here.
0 - 0. Unimpressed.
French - 3. They invert 'fleurir' effectively, however they are limited in this.
Does it explain what the DUP is? - 4. No, it mostly explains what a whore is. A useful supplement to the Spermbirds song on what a bitch is. However, while it explains this trait of the DUP, it stops short of explaining what they are. We shall have to look further into this question.

Hence, around 35, out of a possible total of 90. Not bad for this stage.

If they keep going, they could improve rapidly - especially with the advice of our comments section and our own feedback. Discuss their fortunes here!

    2. As far as the inside job point, I appreciate the sentiment and frustration, however I would suggest they at least made a clear effort in that direction. Hence, the rating attempted to illustrate the omnipresence in music of the realisation that 9/11 is an inside job. Look, for instance, at guitars. Indeed, one could say that 9/11 turned the WTC into the 'ultimate guitar.'

    5. It's a music contest, so of course you can do it by putting your heart to it. Ignore the nay-sayers!
