Posted September 12, 2007 Yeah but you don't have to be good to be culturally significant or impactful. Spice Girls are rubbish, but they are a big part of the 90s. (I have a nothingness-feeling towards Blondie myself) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 12, 2007 I don't even think blondie are culturally impacting? Than again i can't think of much bands that were like that in the 80s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 12, 2007 KT Tunstall's new album doesn't really match the cover. I felt all excited buying it because she's like a crazy futuristic warrior princess on the front cover, then when you listen all the songs are a bit like "..." Yeah it's pretty much the same as the first one. Still a nice album, though not as original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah Its not like Debbie Harry was one of the biggest sex symbols of the 80's, oh wait.... It's not like girls dressed like her, oh wait...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 12, 2007 Yeah Its not like Debbie Harry was one of the biggest sex symbols of the 80's, oh wait.... It's not like girls dressed like her, oh wait...... that happens with just about everyone. Do you not think there are girls that dress like lily allen these days:) ......this isn't helping me is it.

Posted September 13, 2007 Back then it was a big deal though. No one has ever had that hair, or that kinda of sex appeal. Basically if Andy Warhol did a portrait of you, you were an icon. (That's like how I define it lol) --- In other news. I complied my interpretation of Bjork's Greatest Hits. 2 discs for a joke. 32 of the greatest songs ever. / Half are just good.

Posted September 13, 2007 Smart mouths, he? Blondie suck. They were a big deal, and yet they suck. Hard. When talking about late 70's, early 80's, I always have the same answer: Joy Division. Simple, huh? Oh, and fuck Blondie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2007 Joy Division are fucking incredible. Anyone who sayeth otherwise is a godless forsaken heathen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2007 only..like...not, because they're the most important band of their generation. massive change of direction! I've just downloaded (legally, honest lol) Kayne West's albums. Listening to Graduation atm. It's really, really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2007 Well I like Blondie more than the Ramones/ACDC etc. I'm over it either way. --- I'm in an Alanis Morissette craze atm. Under Rug Swept is such a good album. Though it kinda drags at the end. Hands Clean FTW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2007 yeah it's wicked. generally I'm really not in to hip hop as the 'urban' cockswinging often takes precedent over any musical ambition. The reverse of this seems to be the case with West though, and I find myself enjoying it far, far more than I usually would. also downloaded Pharaoh Monch's latest, what with all the recommendations heading my way. impressions to follow.

Posted September 13, 2007 Not sure if it's been reported here, but Kayne is ahead of 50 cent in sales so far in the US reportedly. Cool, a rapper I respect is selling better than a rapper that is utter shit. I don't really listen to any rap or hip hop or whatever, but I know Kanye West makes decent music just by hearing it. Props indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2007 Dammit, White Stripes have cancelled their tour. I had tickets for the 02 aswell The White Stripes have announced they are cancelling their forthcoming UK tour, including their scheduled performance at The O2 arena on 2nd November 2007, due to health issues. Meg White is suffering from acute anxiety and is unable to travel at this time. The White Stripes sincerely apologise to their fans. “We hate to let people down and are very sorry." Fans can obtain refunds for their tickets at point of purchase. The music promoter said: “We are very disappointed for all the fans, (in which we would include ourselves) the band and the venues that the shows have had to be cancelled, but Meg’s health must come first and we wish her a speedy recovery.” The O2 wishes Meg a full recovery and would be delighted to see the White Stripes play here at a future date Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 13, 2007 The Milk-Eyed Mender by Joanna Newsom is one of the best albums I've ever heard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 14, 2007 The Milk Eyed Mender is amazing, but it's not a patch on her latest album Y's. Y's is such a huge leap forward, both in terms of lyrics and arrangements, although I do lament the fact that she's reigned in her vocals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
