Bands be borrowin'.

This is under discussion elsewhere on the interwebs but I thought I'd tap the wisdom of the Poptimist crowd.

If I was the sort to indulge in spectacular suicide, I might well find some method of beheading myself 'Long Dark Teatime Of The Soul'-style to a Puppini Sisters song. Purely on a vengeful basis, obv. and also because their music does invoke quite a 'KILL ME NOW' urge in me.

Pop music now is retro and slightly rub because no one wants the rest of the train carriage to hear them listening to something embarassing on their iPod and the things from which the music derives are generally establishedly cool? That would be my take on it, anyway. However, as katstevens pointed out, there is plenty of music out there beyond the iTunes top ten.
