Having lived through 1994, I can assure you that the term "picture postcards" was not still in use.

In point of fact, it would have sounded odd on "Lou Grant."
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

It was the first year of my truck driving career, and I was the hump who drove the trailers full of soup or whatever that other drivers dropped off at our yard  to a grocery chain warehouse.  I would spend hours unloading and this song came blaring on the radio every ten minutes.  "Picture Postcards from LA" and "You Gotta Be" seemed like the only songs the station played.  It was like I was still in college, and the class was What Hell is Like 101.  I posted that video above just by googling, just from the memory, and I haven't heard the song since then (a testament to its awfulness having been forgotten so quickly), but just now for kicks I listened to the first 20 seconds or so and my fight or flight response kicked in.  I had to turn it off.  The worst song.

And when I said that the song was forgotten so quickly, I meant by the media, culture at large, not in the way it has been a touchstone of horror for me personally and will never be forgotten by me ever.

Joshua Kadison - Picture Postcards from LA

That song is all kinds of terrible.

I was also alive in '95, but somehow I missed this completely. I don't think I listened to anything that wasn't indie rock that year.

And while this song is not QUITE as bad, it may be the most offensive video ever, in terms of the musicians "selling" the rock-star moves. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QX7sT_ZL4o

I wouldn't go to the mat for this one, but I'm kind of charmed by their rock moves.

So I was browsing reddit and found this:
Blurred Lines as Cosby Show Theme [Garlic Jackson Comedy]

I was asking myself, why this was considered funny or noteworthy and therefore went and watched this:
Robin Thicke - Blurred Lines ft. T.I., Pharrell

God this stuff is trash. I didn't know who Robin Thicke was before and I wish I had never found out.
Also there is a clear Pharrell/Neptunes influence on the song, causing me to seize up with bad flashbacks to stuff like this: Snoop Dogg Ft Pharrell - Beautiful HD .
The song is therefore just offensively commercially differentiated from other Top40 songs in a totally calculated fashion.
Blech!

funny, i heard "Jessie" at the gym yesterday and was trying to think what was the OTHER Joshua Kadison song? i don't remember "Picture Postcards" at all, and Wikipedia says there was another song i don't remember that was a bigger hit from the album.

this is what i do when i'm listening to the best show and have nothing else to do.

FUUUUUUUUUDGE this munching noise. I know it should be exempt from all "Worst song ever" nominations for being a novelty song but there's nothing fun or happy or loveable about it. It's the sort of thing that playground bullies listened to when they bullied us, and the fact that it seems to be back acts as karmic validation.

I hope AronChupa gets bopped in the nose by mice wearing capes.

EDIT: http://youtu.be/qQ31INpjXX0 There was an earlier version of this. It's like hearing a demo of Porcupine Pie.

All modern country is the most shameless dreck ever produced. I can hardly believe we've reached this point. And I didn't exactly love Kenny Rogers and Conway Twitty.

On the plus(?) side, this guy sounds sort of like the guy from Crash Test Dummies.
