An Infinite Number Of Things That Pisses Me Off About Music

Wonder what Cameron thought of "Margaret On The Guilloutine."



So #7:

"The Fall

I really love them. I wish they did some thing differently, but I totally see why they don't and more power to them. That's what makes them awesome. What was I talking about? I forget. Anyway, the Fall are #7 of best things on Earth (bet you thought they'd be #1)."

Fascinating addition to this list. ;)

Responsible for 87% of the world's dullest music.
 
I don't think your arbitrary selections of what different genres "look like" counts as "basic knowledge." ;)

I think it's strange that you feel cover art is tightly constrained by the genre. What you called "indie pop" art (the Unicorns album) could definitely be called surreal, which you seem to feel is reserved for progressive rock. The Pink Moon cover art seems very reasonable for the soft, evocative music Nick Drake plays.

Rules never make sense for art. Cover art should reflect the musicians' visual image of their music, not be based on some sort of "genre template."
 
I agree with you boo boo. Even if people want to bring up exceptions to rules as if their a majority.

My only gripe was the metal cover was a little too late 1970's. Today its much more graphic and they only use deep reRAB and browns.
 
Moz fanboys:

Yeah, we suck.
The uber-fans i've talked to tended to make me feel a bit alienated to be honest because i just can't bring myself to call him a full blown genius or god's gift to music or whatever. My favourite artist yes, but he's far from a role model. To be honest i'm never going to want to shag him, i'm never going to excuse his dodgy tirades and i'm never going to be interested in in what shirts he wears.
I will nick as many rarities as i can but i really can't be arsed to pretend to be Kenneth Williams. I'm not that insane yet.



I've always assumed it's something like the Sugarape office. I'm still not massively sure whether they're massive jokers or genuine idiots.
 
I'm pissed off about 20,000 musical "genres." And WTF is difference between indie and alternative music? What kind of self-hating demented moron would waste their time even trying to make sense of the insane categorical geneology like the one below:

Pop/Rock Styles


As Townes Van Zandt once said, "There are two kinRAB of music; the blues and that other stuff."
 
They have a dude named Turkey, a singer who used to look like Ellen Degeneres and a guy who is really good at Fifa Soccor on Wi...close enough?
 
In the general public the Raconteurs after only 2 albums have been promoted like none other.
