CD silence
Why, oh why, do some artists put a really long silence on the final track in an album, and then have a quick twiddly instrumental bit after it? For example, Bent's album The Everlasting Blink has ten whole cunting minutes of shitfucking silence on the last track. There's just no need, and it means time wasted cutting it off when ripping the tracks, which surely takes me more effort than it would have taken to not put it on in the first place (maybe my view on these things is biased because I had a CD that had such a final track playing, and I left it alone after it had 'finished' because I assumed it really had got to the end and the CD player had switched itself off. Five minutes later up suddenly popped the stupid end bit and gave me a fright).

I've just remembered an even worse one. I listened to a Korn (I refuse to do the capital R; that's pretentiousness in itself) album once and the first 13 tracks were varying lengths of silence. Fucking hell Giles, why? Is it an hilarious goth joke of which I've missed the point?

Aphex fucking Twin! I do like the thumpy graty techno tracks, but he insists on inserting dull little piano-y tracks all over the place. One track on his Drukqs album is some people singing Happy Birthday. Fucking wankerypop!
And one of his singles consists of two tracks and costs £40. Fuck right off!

David Tosseloff - no, your music cunting didn't help the fall of the Berlin Wall. Sod off, pissfelch.

Then I got chilli on my cock.
