Halloweeny fun:
A Great Movie
HAHA Wasn't that great? Moving on, my mom was reading an article in the NY Times about "Rockism" which I thougt was incredibly stupid. It discussed music critics who only like music that "rocks" and are scornful of lip-synchers, pop-trash and other unsavory musical items. As she was reading this, and the writer (a woman) feebly pointed out the faults of the "Rockists" and every time I thought: 'so?'. Apparently it's now a crime to have an opinion about music that doesn't agree with the bleeding-heart liberal's skewed sense of open-mindedness. The point is, contrary to the writer's idea, that Rock 'n' Roll does remain the kingly body of music these days, and without it, I'd burn every radio I came across with disgust. People get sort of patronizing when baby boomers and gen x'ers say "they dont make music like they used to", when they don't realize that it is completely true. Thank god for bands like THE STROKES and Stalin's 'Stache; without them, music would be dead, just like TV and art already are.
