It's the Stylus singles jukebox!!

I am glad to see ARSE BRUTE MORE LIKE in the bottom half. Not out of a specific distaste for their rekkid, which I gave a 4, but because I feared that it might do rather well. My fellow 'boxers, it seems I underestimated you.

i heart art brut so much...

"Damn you, Art Brut, for in song you lead the life I wish I could lead. Damn you, I say."

I'm learning to love John Cameron.

It comes as no surprise to me that John Cameron isn't British.

[johnnyctunes.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure whether that's good or bad.

Zenith: Thanks! You're A-OK too!

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

It is neither! But it means you don't have to be in close proximity to Art Brut or people like them ie British indie kids ie THE HORROR.

What is the difference between Art Brut and Hard-Fi and the Kaiser Chiefs?

Re: Dear Dr. Pop

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Aren't Hard-Fi a bit like S*M*A*S*H?

Rick Witter and his piss stained trousers have taken over the world.

I gave them an 8. Am I going to be killed

"Mad" John Cameron really is the Alex In NYC of indie.

[johnnyctunes.livejournal.com]

Over here, we prefer "loco." It's more multicultural.

...who's Alex In NYC?

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

I love the fact that nearly everyone agrees on the standout line from the song, and it's used as ammunition equally on both sides.

Though I can't really read Alex talking about "self-respecting females" or "nauseating lines" without thinking "you liked Wait!", it's become his signature flaw for me.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

That Art Brut line isn't nauseating cos it's sexist (I don't think it is), it's nauseating cos it's deeply unsexy, and pathetic, and HORRIBLY delivered. 'Wait' isn't that sexy either (more like cartoon sex) but is at least funny.

Indie kids, proper indie kids AREN'T SEXY... thats the point! We are are pale asexual creatures who wouldn't know a booty from er something else.
