i agree with katy, there is sooo much good music out there to be discovered but the effort has to be put in. lazy music fans = razorlight albums, you get my drift. thats how i believe anyway, that the libertines/babyshambles got soooo big. lazy music buyers. its edgy, but in a very safe easily digestable way. i remember about 15 years ago, the ""indie" bands that were getting the buzz and touring and even on tv were bands like sy, nirvana (ok they hit mainstream) sugar, belly, dinosaur, mudhoney, ride, all were at the razorlight/the feeling/babyshambles/hard fuckin fi level. now its too easy for kidz (and i dont mean that in a disrespectful or demeaning way) to get their music, its on tap basically. i had to go and read melody maker, nme, go out and search record shops and buy this shit so i could hear it. thats how i discovered bands like sebadoh (kurt wore a seb shirt all the time), trumans water (bought cuz i like the cover), slint, rodan, all of the stuff that 15 years later, im still raving about.........sorry, im geting off the point.....
its all in the effort. and about taking calculated risks AND TRUSTING YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT!! i mean if i was lazy i wouldnt find the magik markers back catalogue so fascinatingly good, or wait with baited breath to see if coughs have broke up. in many ways the internet is making life easy, but on the other side, its fucking great, if u know where to look......
couple of bands ive just recently discovered that i really like
help she cant swim
up c down c left c right c ABC+START
fujiya & miyagi
day for airstrikes
rollers/sparkers
the list is practically endless (thats a statement not a band, but makes a good band name dont you think)
......also- ive a lot to be grateful to this place for as ell. a lot of you guys have introduced me to a lot of awesome shit too.. FACT!!!!!
