First thing, I have been checking up on various people's Top Records of 2007 lists, everyone from pitchfork to a japanese blogger I read and I am slightly dismayed at the lack of any fucking ROCKING music on these lists.
I knowmusic comes in cycles, but goddamn there had to be some fucking loud rocking music made last year that deserves to be top 50, or maybe there was not any? who knows.
Every list is chock full of albums that are soft weepy sentimentalism, or albums that are only good if you are spaced out and listening on headphones, albums not made for communal rockin. is this because we are now in a truly individual listening culture? what with MP3 players and such allowing everyne to exist in their own headphones?
There wer a lot of good albums I enjoyed last year but the two most rockin ones were made by "old people", Dinosaur Jr's BEYOND and Shellac's EXCELLENT ITALIAN GREYHOUND. I have seen dinosaur's on a few top lists but not the shellac record which I thought was better than 1000 hurts. oh well.
I want to hear new rockin, new loud aggression, cathartic rockin. I do not want to hear another fucking Stooges garage rip-off band (awesome color) no matter how good they are.
It has been a couple of years since loud abrasive angry rock ruled the underground, but I think we need it more than ever.
people are fucking pissed off, they are angry, they hate the state of shit in the world right now. I can feel it. FUCK there are so many fucking things to rail against and shout about but everyone keeps singing songs about "love" and "relationships" and BULLSHIT.
I am gonna start a band and in 2008 I hope to blow these pussy fucks out of the water. I HAVE TO. It is required. This is MY america and I am gonna blast forth in a fury the likes of which the hipster dipshits with the haircuts and the make up have never seen. (and it will NOT be METAL)
what do you guys think? am I missing something?
There were a lot of excellent noise recordsd and weird shit out there but nothing ROCKED.
It is time. who is with me?
