A Rant
I wrote this yesterday to the rest of the band. It’s about the myspace run ‘transmissions’ page. And about Pitchfork. And about the whole current indie music hipster culture.

Can I rant for a second. This profile has 12000+ plays today. That’s pretty good! They have some respectable (yet completely derivative) music from Vampire Weekend highlighted.
Pitchfork gave No Age a frickin 9.2 today and they are at almost 50,000 plays. WT heck?!
I give up. I hate pitchfork and the power they have. They’re like the Clear Channel of the indie world. Maybe even more of a gatekeeper. Clear Channel might force bland and boring down everyone’s throat but at least the songs have discernible melodies and lyrics. P4k is so into nu disco and and this distorted noise crap that lemmings with rooster hair and les jeans slim thinks it must be good. But it isn’t, and so it goes away to be quickly replaced by yet another banal group of white boys making thin rock where precious vocal ticks and fuzzy instruments substitutes for guts and musicianship.
Rant done
