Oddly enough I've named my fists 'Mean' and 'Haterly', and using their combined might I have objectively established that the following relatively new bands or artists are of no use to the discerning music listener:
Arctic Monkeys, The Towers of London, Hot Chip, The Noisettes, Keane, Guillemots, Razorlight, The Magic Numbers, The Zutons, Mew, Tokyo Police Club, Switchfoot, Larrikin Love, Goldfrapp, Klaxons, The Fratellis, We Are Scientists, The Automatic, The Killers, Editors, Art Brut, The Shins*, The Hold Steady, Babyshambles, The Raveonettes, The Young Knives, Bloc Party, Dirty Pretty Things, Milburn, The View, Franz Ferdinand, The Futureheads, The Long Blondes, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly.
I'm bound to think of a few more, and this by-no-means-exhaustive list only covers bloodless, spiritless guitar pop and related crappery- it does not cover emo, screamo, emo-or-screamo-by-people-who-do-coke (Avenged Sevenfold, My Chemical Romance), nearly all forms of electronic music, cocaine rap and The Red Hot Chili Peppers.
*They collect the award on behalf of anybody on a film soundtrack chosen by Zach Braff. Except Iron & Wine, whose inclusion on the Garden State OST was probably Natalie Portman's idea. She's great. |
