Paul Hotflush said:What a bunch of wankers. And their album is rubbish.
Paul Hotflush said:Bloc Party, for me, are everything a rock band shouldn't be. Rock bands are there to entertain. Not to moan about what kind of questions they get asked in interviews, not drone on about their album packaging. Not to say things like "Do I read my own press? No. Well, yeah. Not really." There is no balls (sic) to this limp wristed bunch of musical incompetents.
mms said:that's terrible you sound like simon cowell -
imagine if this was actually true!
Paul Hotflush said:Imagine if Axl Rose had whined on about interviewing standards!
By all means get pissed off about interviewing standards. These guys aren't pissed off though, they're too polite. Go back to art school!
mms said:i'm very sure he did as he is renowned as one of the most egomanical rock stars out there. again not very high standards to pit music against - guns and roses!
mms said:What's wrong with politeness?
mms said:would it be better if rock stars behaved badly and were much stupider than non rock people?
nick said:Rocker CHRIS CORNELL felt he was living out a comic book story when he toured with GUNS N' ROSES in 1992 because AXL ROSE was so bizarre.
blissblogger said:Well they're obviously smart enough to know that it would truer to the postpunk spirit to be influenced by grime and modern hip hop ithan to return to postpunk's own 25 year old blend of white and black
BUT the little i've heard of their music suggests that the latter is precisely what they did so... a shame... maybe next album
k-punk said:Yes, and also by doing interviews that interrogate the interview form itself, that talk about culture etc rather than just music...
yup, though I haven't got any hope that the next album will be any better; their current output is beyond useless. Can't help thinking that feller would have been better in music journalism than in music production.
