This is exciting: it seems that we might have a Poison Girls/Fatal Microbes situation going down here.

Crass make me feel like the ignorant, posh, privileged, complacent, white dabbler that I am. And so they fucking should.

Vice has them as, “The Black Lips with boobs”. Man, and they say the art of music criticism is dead.

Without the strange adjuncts Rhys has a nice collection of folky tunes. With them he has a nutball bag of charming oddities.

The reason Splendour hasn’t sold out instantaneously, as it normally does, is that the line-up doesn’t justify the price.

Riot Grrrl, like I always understood it … i.e. female empowering, and not scared to experiment with new musical forms, and not rooted.

I guess the debate here is whether or not a band is required to continue attempting to evolve past a certain point. Beastie Boys have a solid formula with beats + one-liners = fun, so why should they change?

Why not cut out the middle-people and get the professionals to do it straight? Not only are we cheaper, we’re also better at it.
