Some pertinent facts, courtesy of Flyboy, who I hope will be able as usual to say better stuff about a given act than myself:
1:
Her myspace
2:
"To me Kylie playing Glastonbury would be the ultimate insult to it. It should be about new, interesting music, not mainstream pop."
But see also, from the same article-
3:
In the last couple of months Lily’s acid tongue has stung other big names including CARL BARAT, who she describes as “a bit of a weirdo”, and THE KOOKS.
Which seems to me to make things a bit more complex. Flyboy rightly said that Setting up a dichotomy between "new, interesting music" and "mainstream pop" is tired, reactionary bullshit, and I'm sure anyone with any sense agrees- but see, she's doing what a lot of the, for want of a better word, "indie crowd" won't dream of doing: slagging off Carl Barat. The NME certainly don't seem to let a word be said against the Libertines/Babyshambles bricollage, and as has been pointed out on the lith, mainstream guitar music = Vernon Kay from big brother, so maybe LA, young female, slagging off Carl Barat, godfather of current bullshit, and Kooks, they of incredibly annoying vocal chords ("Aiiiyyyy know"), is a good thing?
The way I'm looking at this could mean that she's generally spiky and opinionated, a la Pink/Christina Aguillera, and that though what she said about Kylie was bullshit (like a lot of people she needs to listen to Kylie's records) it is, perhaps, forgivable as she also calls bullshit on two terrible boring lad's bands.
But then, perhaps, not.
What do you think? |
