What is a hipster? Look at this fucking hipster...

Are those driving gloves or sponge fingers?

D is a babe. Rubbish hat (C) but otherwise she looks great.

Facebook gold

Wire?

I can't decide if the guy on the left (Jambon's pic) is Bono or one of the baddies from any of the early Bond films where there's skiing involved.

I would absolutely wear the jersey on the right but I'm old enough to have worn that look first time round

So your saying you were into that look before it was cool?

Its not bad but it's a total fluke, all of the rest of her stuff is so crap.

No...

it's fucking terrible. Kreayshawn and that other one. They're awful. Terrible. The kind of music that a tone deaf 14 y/o californian girl would think is 'ok'.

I dont know if they write their music or if it is stolen from the trash folder of some god-awful LA producer's MacBook Pro, but either way it is grade-a, synthetic, hermetically sealed shit.

The 'music in my day was better' argument is bullshit here. Just because it's new doesn't excuse it.

I'd rather listen to the noise made by maggots as they digest a decaying antelope.

Come on LFGSS, stay strong in the face of appalling music!

So you don't like it?

Actually I gave it another listen and it grows on you.

Wire?

What I thought, but not sure...

so does thrush

What is she like a grime act?

What I thought, but not sure...

They moved the DJ booth after I left. It looks like the far end of the club if I remember rightly. I need to go back and visit Leeds and do a big night out in Wire, HiFi and the Fav.

Not even a parody, unfortunately. She's honestly that bad.

I'd take 10 minutes and a claw hammer, personally.

Let me do this:

Little bit judgemental there Oliver?

Sounds like "back in my day we had proper music" that every generation suffers from (me included).

Surely catchy is subjective, and your opinion is no more valid than that of anyone else.

Dead wrong. How many musicians of tomorrow will be buying the [strike]shit[/strike] sheet music to the overwhelming majority of the wank produced today?

Sheet music?
And here I am, working out the ukelele chords for the Katy Perry catalogue.

I don't think that's the only measure of weather people like music or not.

If someone out there is enjoying it (which I assume they are), then what's the problem.

Agreed, rainfall meters and anonometers are helpful too.

We've been here before.

I like Kreayshawn. But then I know what's going on in music.

I'm not suggesting folk don't enjoy all sorts of stuff out there but what I take issue with is the coverage that chosen artists get at the expense of others. In my utopia there's more of an even ground for genres and artists and a sense of choice not the force fed hits that usually dominate the charts. WHy else did Kiss FM go the way it did?

There's a reason that 'musicians' still play standards from particular eras. BITD to be a musician you had to know your instrument inside out (<- cue childish jokes). You had to be able to step up on stage and firm it. How many music producers nowadays can do that? If your happy to hear bands covering Kreyshaun in 5-10 yrs time be my guest.

I am not entirely convinced by this line of reasoning.

How many house music or hip hop classics are being covered 20 years later? Many of my favourite records were made by relatively naive musicians, using simple kit to find a way to express themselves.

There is a generation of musicians who are musically illiterate but given an MPC or computer can come up with something highly creative, stimulating and that may be listened to in years to come. Ron Trent was a teenager when he made Altered States. Having watched footage of Derrick May playing Strings of Life he is clearly not a musician in the traditional use of the word, he can barely play a keyboard, though he could use the basic electronics of his day in an amazing way.

Kiss probably went the way it did because it became a commercial radio station, commerce became more important than the musical values that underpinned its early days.

Not all music is worthy of repeated listening. Some tracks that get everyone excited date really quickly, others are slow burners and considered classics years later despite having negligible impact at the time of release.

At any given time there will be a lot of dross released, it will only be in years to come that people will chose the songs that will become the standards of an era. Even then the standards become cliches with lots of people doing piss poor cover versions.

This is not to say that I believe Kreayshaun has produced modern classics, but I would hazard a guess that there will be music from this era that we look back upon fondly.

...but not the ugly ones.
