James Franco has been persona non grata to me for months now. Remember when I wrote about his Esquire profile and how he sounded like such a douchey wang, and all of these Franco defenders came out and were like, “Hey, he’s just artsy and cool, I love him!” Those Franco defenders had a hard time defending his sleep walking through the Oscars, though. And since then, I’ve felt like Franco and his Artist-With-A-Capital-A act is on the down-swing. Sure, he’s still getting movie roles, and he’s still an in-demand actor in general. But I feel like the tide has turned. Hopefully.

Anyway, in addition to all of the other crap Franco has going on (PhD studies, MFA program, movies, television, bungling the Oscar hosting, and don’t forget his little book, in which he tries to BECOME Kerouac), Franco also wants to pursue a music career. I’m sure this is all some sort of elaborate performance art. But at face value, I’d rather listen to Kim Kardashian. The “music” is described as “an EP of experimental electronic tracks with drag performer Kalup Linzy (who acted alongside Franco on General Hospital). It’s called Turn It Up and it’s set to drop July 12.” Prepare to have your mind blown:

You know what the lyrics remind me of? Magnetic poetry! You know those magnets with “deep” words and when you and your friends are drunk and mixing margaritas, you stand there “writing” drunk magnet poetry on your freezer. That’s what the lyrics are. “It’s bleeding… this pain in me has arrested me.” Or: “Hobgoblin iris crisis/river birth pinnacle!”
