[kj] scissor sisters

[bluce ree]

exactly,
 
i mean i understand that with every generation people turn round and say 'i dont understand today's music' but the thing is the stuff that's out now just totally misses the heights of the things it is trying to rip off.
 
heavy music isnt neither original or heavy.  I think that probably reached a limit with death metal anyway.  Even when I'm 80 I'm sure I'll be able to say 'today's bands aren't actually as heavy as they were when I was young'.
 
'emotive' indie music has constantly failed to move me in recent years.  Be it Travis or Keane or whatever 'The' band is in vogue this week it all comes across as stuff that my mum would probably like.

It's one thing to rip off a style but you should remember what made that style popular.
 
Actually on that score Scissor Sisters actually do hit their target.  They're the new Bee Gees.  
Which is upsetting...

Shocking, innit?    I've been preparing myself for years for the day that the youth of the world comes up with a musical movement that will legitimately insult me, that will be beyond my understanding in its direct affront to my values.  You know, the natural order of things.  Still waiting.  They've been subverted in a most unnatural and pathetic way.
 
And this Scissor bunch goes beyond the corporate manufactured culture motif. I caught them on television a couple weeks ago.  At first I laughed, waited another minute, then they did nothing but make me angry.  They reminded me of Sparks without the humor.  And having to reference Sparks in a musical discussion is something I'd hoped never to have to do.
 
My suggestion for everyone is to get a copy of the last Motorhead album, Inferno.  Just came across one last week and it really is top notch, on par with some of the best stuff they've done.  I'll pit Lemmy collecting his pension against any of these prancing sacks of sh*t.
