AGAIN & AGAIN

sometimes i feel like music loses touch with itself.
for instance,
take the band underoath.
i had a conversation with this kid at my college today about how
they were his favorite band and that they were original and the only band
doing what they are right now.
i said they sucked.
he got offended.
i then proceeded to show him how the fact that they were his favorite band didnt really
matter to me, but the fact that he thought they were original/idiosyncratic in modern
music was intensely disturbing to me.
he babbled about something that vaguely sounded like a defense of their merits.
he said things like "the drummer sings, who does that" and "the singer carries the beat".
dont get me wrong this kid is not stupid, despite all appearances to the contrary.
please watch as much of this as you can
i know its hard.
i know.



how can you claim a band like that to be original. at all?
really?
he eventually admitted that since all he listens to is "hardcore" (which he doesnt,
he didn't even know who black flag were) he was biased towards what was good and what wasnt.
all of this is an extremely long way to say, that
i saw Queens of The Stone Age's video for "Make It Wit Chu" today.
man is that catchy shit.
i mean seriously the band who churns out devilish sludge heavies can
make a toe tapper like this?
thats talent.
recycled screaming with electronic elements is not.

(universal music group is a bunch of gay ass corporate fags and
dont allow embedding)
