Yes we are living in this incredibly bland age, a huge malaise with no real light at the end of the tunnel. But, this fella isn't exactly doing anything to solve it culturally is he? The way he dresses wouldn't look out of place at all at your average indie disco, suit jacket and jeans, retro hat, Strokes-style curly hair, etc. His music isn't a million miles away from what he's critisizing, it sounds like the Magic Numbers or something. Such an obvious, clumsy pastiche fits right into the cack-handed vulgarity of our age.
Y'see, if satire isn't what's needed. Fucking amazing, sexy, stylish, totally fresh music is what's needed.
Ain't gonna happen though. Perhaps because my generation's imaginations have been rotted by MTV/Nintendo/Ipods/you name it.
