WTF

[byebyepride.livejournal.com]

Quite bewilderingly unpleasant article which claims to be about 'pop' from The Village Voice. Makes me long for the discretionary principle -- if you can't say anything nice, say nothing. (It may be a joke I haven't understood because of not being asleep at a stupid hour of the morning, but I suspect not.)

I think that guy is just trying to make Frank Kogan sad.

So many other things have made me sadder, though. The article is a joke, of course. But it blows anyway. Or it blows especially.

It has lashings of that toxic brashness which seems to infect a lot of nu-Voice writing (though of course mostly I'm following links to the bad stuff from apalled commentators...)

Whatever anyone says, though, Fall Out Boy get a break, because they came out of a local emo/hardcore scene with real mosh pits and everything, and anyone who can't appreciate a good mosh pit is a dick.

this sounds like the nu-voice QUEST FOR AUTHENTICITY in a nutshell.

but seriously, who writes like this? it's all pose and no ... anything. see also the newest voice music blog (http://www.livejournal.com/blogs/music), which i quoted to some friends yesterday.
