  When The Libertines imploded and all the kids from the Whitechapel indie-rock scene got sick of paying Pete Doherty’s crack dealers to watch him busk sock-footed in his filthy apartment, they hit the internet message boards and found Arctic Monkeys. |

Subject: Tired Date: Sep 03 2005 07:37:21 AM Author: nobody_someday Anyone who claims that British music has no depth or imagination has clearly never been to Hull, or indeed, Sheffield, which, along with ALL of urban Yorkshire and most of the East, has a thriving live scene, where bands depend on being as original and talented as possible just to get a second gig, because, as is the case in Hull, my university town, everyone else is original and talented, because bands that are neither don't survive for any time on the live circuit. The monkeys have played Hull, if I remember rightly, and to a good reception. And while The Libertines/Franz Ferdinand/Bloc Party don't have much shelf life, most bands i see in Hull do, and while i haven't heard the Monkeys, I would be inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt, because East Yorkshire is an absolute factory for good music; I can see a gig of any type of music any night of the week. Small venues with good track records, and a population of people with broad and diverse musical taste combine to allow the right amount of exposure to fans, the local music press, and studios. just because a band is new to the national scene doesn't make them 5 mins old- one Hull band, the Fonda 500, has only cut an album after playing and touring for five years and two singles, but they are established locally, and they are good- and just because vice or NME spotlights them doesn't make them hipster crap.

(muthaphuckaz in the houze) might have had the best band name ever. Sadly they broke up in 2000 because of irreconcilable artistic differences. http://www.rokk.is/default.asp?Flytjandi_ID=1794&sida=um _flytjanda Subject: Tired Date: Sep 01 2005 11:09:40 AM Author: me re:By the way, remember Nathan Barley? That was about you. So, because I'm sick of the complete lack of depth and imagination fucking killing the British music scene at the moment, that makes me some sort of jaded hipster? These bands suck. Simple as. I you like them you don't know fuck all about music. Everybody who likes The Libertines/Franz Ferdinand/Bloc Party/whatever will be completely denying they ever did in five years time. Mark my words. This band will be about as fondly remembered as Shed Seven.

And your too-cool-for-school-unless-school- has-become-ironic stuff is just sad. It's all about opinion, so let people have theirs. I respect your tastes in music, I don't respect you fucking me up the arse with it because it's 'underground' to you. And shit yeah, the HAIR! I once went to see an amazing band, whose music changed my life with every chord... But the bassist's fringe was just all wrong. I had to leave and hate them. By the way, remember Nathan Barley? That was about you. Subject: Not for Top of the Pops Date: Aug 31 2005 07:56:27 AM Author: JC Ladies and Gentlemen, from Toronto, Canada... Tit Fuck Me Jesus!

Subject: chuck taylor all stars and studded belts Date: Aug 26 2005 11:15:17 AM Author: Giorgio Moroder Fuck indie rock. How did this shit get so popular, and how do people think that it's the hot new shit? Kids have been picking up on indie rock for the last few years like it's something innovative and fresh, when the reality is it's fucking INDIE ROCK and it's been the same fucking sound for like 20 years. Even the hair/clothing looks the same. It's like everybody who was into electroclash a couple years ago wanted to go on to the next new thing, and there wasn't anything around, so they said "Well, fuck it. As long as nothing new's coming out, might as well listen to indie rock."
