Reply #60: I just can't stand hype.

[RandomKoolzip]

And I can't stand spontaneously generated consensus opinion; when immediately dozens of people say some band is great and immediately they get a feature review in MOJO and immediately they're getting publicity everywhere and they've only played like 30 shows, I don't think, "well, jeez, thjey must be good!" I think, "jeez, their record company is really working overtime to promote this band."

Remember Hipsway? Sigue Sigue Sputnik? The Strokes? We are Going To Eat You? Gay Dad? Menswe@r? Franz Ferdinand will go the way of all these bands; they're nine-day wonders. Fucking British music press.......


And yes, for every band or artist I say I hate, I can name ten I really dig. So it's not like I'm some crank bellowing in the woods.
