  I expect nothing else from journalists anyway.  Fair enough, they are =
entitled to their opinions and reviewing music is a very inprecise thing =
to do anyway.  I don't get pissed off, but I certainly don't credit them =
with any respect.

  Some bands get great reviews across the board and it makes no sense.  =
Have you lot seen/heard that new band 'The Darkness'?  Now they are =
getting amazingly favourable press despite the fact that they cashing in =
on this whole retro thing and are musically the least inspiring thing =
I've ever heard.  I'd bet that anyone here could put together that kind =
of band because the ideas were already formed 20 years ago.  It's as bad =
as any pop idol/boyband act because it's just an easy cash-in.

  The Coral... what is that about???  It seems to be more comedic than =
anything else.  Yet it's being lapped up.  I blame the whole =
'Glastonbury' type listener.  They made Robbie Williams a successful and =
"credible" solo artist, they are responsible for the popularity of =
inexplicably evil musical criminals, and purveyors of blandness, such as =
Travis, Toploader and the Stereophonics.

  I say chuck the new KJ in the cd player and bask in the smugness that =
comes with that rare quality of 'having taste'.

  Rant ended, how splendid.
