[kj] OT: In-for-ma-tion

[Karen Weil]

  Brendan: Funny story; I'm sure the gentlemen took no offense. Music is like politics -- it can bring out the passion in anyone.; ) 
  And I don't blame you for spouting off, if was shitty emo music. I consider myself open-minded about all the music genres, but my patience for that stuff is wafer-thin. 
  Oh, and BTW: I wear that type of T-shirt to every party! It always kicks it up a notch. ; ) 

  Cheers,

  k.w.

  I laid into some song that came on the other weekend at a party, then everyone there told me that the dude who'd been passed out half the time was totally into them, had come alive only to put them on, and I felt a bit stink actually. Tried to make it up to him.

   

  I was, appropriately, wearing an Onion t-shirt that read: Your Favourite Band Sucks.

   

  Still.I don't really like bursting innocent people's bubbles. 

   

  BUT.it was unbelievably shitty emo music, and everyone was totally toasted. Dilemma!

    Hi Geoff.

     

    I'm certainly guilty of being dismissive of any band I don't like; as we're all adults here (most of the time), I hope we are able not to take personally any slating of bands we like. I will have caused a great deal of offence over the years if so, and don't feel even slightly guilty about it.

     

    For the record, I really like "The Holy Bible", but dislike their blander later albums (post Richey, I'd say), apart from the "If You Tolerate This" single. The problem I have with them, apart from the anodyne nature of the later music, is the C&A urban terrorist chic they effect. I just find it embarrassing.

     

    By the way, talent and/or success is no guarantee of respect on this list. I'd hate for us all to like the same things, so I'm glad we don't.

          Are you surprised at the possibility that people might like a band that you don't? I don't consider Generation Terrorists (the album containing this song) to be one of the Manics' best but I am a firm fan of this talented and yes, successful (mostly in Europe) band.

            It *is* awful, period. And this band was actually successful? Good God.
