Here's a random thing that really annoys the hell out of me: When an artist releases a track or record, and music writers use the word "drop" where "release" belongs.
e.g.: "Jason Mraz has decided to drop this year's summer anthem early."
That's an actual sentence I read today. That "drop" is used in context with Jason Mraz makes it particularly lame. Mraz doesn't really strike me as an artist that drops tracks. That's more of a hip-hop thing. But even then it sounds stupid.
I am waiting for music writers to start using other inappropriate verbs: "Van Morrison expectorated his latest album, 'Keep It Simple,' on March 11."

Dropping a track sounds a bit careless, but maybe not as careless as losing your new album. (backups anyone?)
I just got an inappropriate captcha.. clitcam. (honestly)
Hey, at least they aren't saying ejaculate.
expectorating a whole album...now that would be difficult.
some of the music i have been hearing lately could qualify for "defacate" or "regurgitate".
and i probably spelled those wrong.
When I hear "dropping a new track" it makes me think of that scene in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, with the Catholic mom...
