"It's impossible to be Actual* Pop and Actual Rock simultaneously!"

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

the lex just claimed this: is he korrekt?

my response = it is NOT COMMON CERTAINLY but it has happened, like a kind of harmonic convergence within recorded music after -- with things after never the same as before

for example:
i. stones
ii. sabbaf
iii. slade/pistols (=essentially the same thing anyway)
iv. pulp fiction inspired resurgence of SURF sound

obv plenty of bands have been one then the other but not simultaneously, and some have even switched back again

*note use of ACTUAL here must not be employed in any kind of essentialist slipperiness, bcz that kind of behaviour is INDIE

Apparently all sources say the new Muse album is RAVE! I am quite looking forward to it.

Yes, I am also quite excited, which is absurd since have had a vendetta against Muse since a guitarist friend of mine first started wanking on about them the whole time. Still, can't complain about good music, I s'pose.

Back in 1999, Muse were Madonna's favourite band. Has anyone asked who her favourite band are these days? Probably The Academy Is or someone.

They are overblown enough to be Not Half Bad at the rave as long as they a) removed all guitars and b) removed all trace of Bellamy's voice
