i'm bored and in pain, so what do i do in these situations? normally sit in front of my pro tools rig and make insane electronica no one will ever hear but it's too painful on my knee to sit in my room. instead i have been finishing the lyrics for the upcoming gay for johnny depp "ski mask orgy" record and checking out new music online. a few days a go i wrote about the shitty side of UK emo/pop with
you me at six. well, the other side of the UK music scene that drives me insane is the endless fucking interpol/joy division influenced bands (the nme hype machine) that never seem to end. it was all the rage here in NY a few years ago, at least in my practice space. we're way onto 2 piece bands now, which might be over as well. i can't keep up. anyway, i stumbled upon a record by west london's own
white lies. their debut record was number one in the uk the week it came out in january. now, it's not a complete rip off, neither was interpol really but can't anyone over there do something remotely original, even the artwork is factory-esque, which i don't blame them for. it's pretty timeless. i thought i'd never say this, but thank god for the fucking arctic monkey's!! check it out for yourself. it's not bad but been done before. what hasn't right?
also please check out the new
hopewell full length "good good desperation". the song islands is an amazing mix of hipster cool and good janes addiction, which was pretty hip when it was new...their guitar player also happens to be the one and only chelsea piers of gay for johnny depp.
finally listen to
trap them, sick crusty style hardcore/punk. the real deal. i hope they aren't canadian....
