Well there isn't too much out there that's new and good is there? I'm
sure I'll get pummeled by saying this but the only worthy record to come
out lately is Radiohead's 'Kid A'. I hate to say it but I think they're
the "great white hope". Looking through the charts during this past year
is enough to make a grown man cry (or anyone with good taste for that
matter). For fuck's sake, Sleater-Kinney's last record was getting all
sorts of accolades and that record was a bunch of garbage. Not a song to
be found. Macy Gray finally made the record I've been waiting for
someone in the current R&B world to come out with; the last Cardigans
record was delightfully depressing; actually those two were released in
'99. But that's about it. The fact that Radiohead can, in their
artsy-fartsy kind of way, thumb their noses up to the industry and make
the record they wanted to make, not tour, no interviews, no videos, AND
still hit number 1 in the States is fucking astonishing. And hopeful.
So let's wait for good when George W. Bush sinks the U.S. into a
recession. Things are going too good with the economy right now - hence,
Backstreet, NSync, Limp Shitsket, et. al. How can anything good come out
of an economic boom? Mark my words, we may be getting a total idiot for
a president but it's gonna spark something good on the music front.
Sorry to go into a socio-economic discourse but I think it would be a
bit more constructive than what that "LaBadass" was lowering this
current thread to.
