Thought for the Day

When did “innovation” in music surpass quality?  And since when was “innovation” playing with electronics and feedback?  I know I sound like an old man, but I remember back when musicians actually played instruments.  (Funny story, actually.  I remember seeing The Hunger, a local “industrial” Houston band, back in 1995 or 1996, and in the middle of their set, their CD or whatever they were using as a “backing track” started skipping… the whole band collapsed almost instantly.  Laughter ensued, as none of the musicians were doing anything, much like a Milli Vanilli concert.  Not to worry, though, like all crappy bands, they redeemed themselves with an obnoxious cover.  “Feel Like Making Love”.  If memory serves me correctly.  Strange that they laughed at the skipping and not the cover.)

If I hear another frigging band that wants to be Radiohead bore me to death with 5 minutes of doodling on synths, I swear to Jeebus I’m gonna scream.

“Post-rock” isn’t a genre.  It’s shorthand for “my band sucks”.
