The past few weeks have been the ultimate downer. Series of faux pas and misplays came into pass. I have reached the abyss of self-abhorrence and one more howler will just make me an obnoxiously stoic and unperturbed soul.
That sort of drama was fleeting, though, with the help of Jet Lag by Simple Plan. Surprisingly, it has all the elements to rock and literally bang my head against a brickwall: It's punk. It's rock. And Brit popstar Natasha Bedingfield is in it!
Normally, in my rationally-controlled mode, the bubble-gum popsicle-ness of this track is easy to dismiss. But Natasha doing punk rock? That I dig at the drop of a hat. And my verdict: She definitely can measure it up with Pierre.
I give this track an A. It's a perfect summer anthem, albeit the mushy lyrics, and just for the fact that Simple Plan has been terribly missed.
