200milesfromgorgie Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Now i'm sure fellow musical nazis like my self will have noticed that due to the expansion of myspace that every ned with a guitar seem to 'win' a record deal nowadays. Now i for one will not knock a talented musician just beacuse they are getting paid for doing something i would like to do. BUT.... it seems that music has finally been engulphed by he internet and a 'coolness' factor. 1- if you are 'scally-chic' and try to recreate rave music (even though you wernt even alive in 1990) you can have a record deal 2- if you are a male band that use hair products - you can have a record deal 3 - if you put on a fake accent - you can have a record deal 4 - if you band tname is pre-fixed with 'THE' - you can have a record deal All 'guitar' based bands are just boy/girl pop bands nowadays. kooky / kitch faux retro *****? What ever happend to word of mouth (all internet based hype) buying records (its all mobile phone ringtones now) going to proper dirty gigs (not O2 presents/AOL loves...) No art to these bands anymore, no aloof status. add the new band you hate to this list. I have so many but i'll start with the Ting Tings george lamb summed them up perfectley yesterday... oooh i shake my fist at these kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Chimp Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 yes he is but his ting tings comment was brilliant, just wish i could remember the words he used. Aye, i was just being facetious. The ting tings are pretty horrible. I saw about a minute of their glastonbury performance and just cringed with embarassment. It was awful. You could tell, from the brief horrible moment i watched, that she knew, she really knew, that she had sold out. For some reason the ting tings keep sending me emails and you get about one a week from them, each another begging letter imploring you to buy their crappy new internet download. As an aside, is that the sound of a powerball that's at the start of that's not my name? It's just that the only person i know who uses a powerball is a fecking twunt. You're kind of right in your OP, but it's been going on for so long...you had scenesters like menswear cutting about camden with a heroin habit and a line in looking indie enough for a record deal and a little twist of gayness, back in 1996. The majority of these crappy pseudo rock bands are mainly their spiritual heirs. the tings tings though are just a record label creation with a faux internet buzz created around them to lend some form of credibility to their evil plans. I ended up back at a friend of a friend flat a few weeks ago and some methil madman was there ruining any chance we had with two girls from dublin we had brought back with such winning gems as: "have you heard the fecking seahorses? best band in the world mate. best band in the world. you saying they arenae? eh? they fecking are." Now, I'm not saying I wasn't a fan of the seahorses in 1997. But this guy was 21, so he must have been 10 when the seahorses were about. talk about stuck in an indie timewarp....

jamboinglasgow Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 three words Mark ****ing Ronson. The guy sums up music at the momment, unoriginal music that is tweaked a little to make it sound fresh. To many covers are around and they go for songs in 70's that most young people wont know so it sounds new. If I want to hear Just I will listen to Radiohead, I prefer Valarie when it is sung by the Zutons and so on. To me the internet should not be hailed as some great thing for discovering new talent as it produces much more manure. Its like panning for gold in a very muddy river just becuase this may discover a small piece of gold it doesn't mean you find much or it will be easy. I like the idea of a great band working from the bottom facing it when there were only a few people at the first gigs and working hard to get on the next rung of the ladder till they are discovered, rather than thinking a song up putting it up on myspace and getting a record deal just like that. Its the same as youtube, people claims it will give people the chance to make great videos that could be films and it is the new way for people to be discovered but most videos on youtube done by people is just egotisitical idiots who think the world wants to hear what they say.

danielw85 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Have to say i hate every band mentioned here so far. Will add my chemical romance, and their likes to the list. The problem with these guys is that none of them can even have a drug/alcohol addiction like they used to! Oh and i also saw the ting tings peformance at glastonbury (on tv) and it truly was appaling. not that i expected any better mind. Im sure plenty of people would hate a lot of the music i listen to but at least i know its not manufactured 'scene' garbage. Oh and calvin harris-words cannot describe my hatred.

As a fellow 21 year old I agree that zepplin and floyd are great bands and should be given to all teenagers to give them a proper education in music. However I do also like indie and I agree that most are rubbish but I think one or two are decent. I think the artic monkeys are a great band who suffer from the best and worst possible situation, everyone likes them as it seems that it is the cool thing (including politicions.) This means proper music fans can see them as poor. I think they are supperor lyricists and not to every ones taste. But I agree on others as they are too similar and bland, used to like Kaiser Chiefs before everyone started listening to them but now cant stand them. I think a testement to the current music is to think do any bands of recent years be classified as a great band of the decades. So in the 60's you had the beatles, the who, the rolling stones. And so on but who is the band of the '00s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them couldn't name you a RATM song, haven't heard any early biffy stuff and probably believe that The Fratelli's are the main headliners. Yawn. Go listen to clubland you idiotic fools!
