Cheers Riz- this isn't a buying thing (neither they nor Mclusky are avalible on the island), I was just wondering wether they were worth paying £4 to go see live. As far as I know, Mclusky aren't playing anywhere near me for some time. If ever.
And I get the feeling that there's a certain ammount of colloqiual diectics at play here- they're running on the assumption that every gets that their use of "fat" is to imply that the people who run reocrd labels are rich, lazy and oppulant off other peopels hard work, and that "sucking the corporate cock" will conjure up the age old connotations of artistic prostiution to get further in a capital-orientated world. Cunt (and I have little doubt the man describes people as "cocks" too- does this make him (what's the word for anti-men?) anit-man, too?) has probablly just been wheeled out to make them sound hard.
I also doubt any of that is concious- there's a case to be made to a wholesale overhaul of the sort of language employed by this sort of band, but from what Rix appears to be saying, they're simply followers. If you were to change the language, I'm sure their vocab would change with it, without any difference in their actual opinions.
And The Manics are flag waving nationalistic socalists (Not National Socalists! I'm dumb, yeh, but not to the point of calling everyone I hate Nazis)- I think there are grounds to declare them idealogically comprimised on every single fucking level going. They set out to be media whores, but really... not that sort of media whore, surely? |
. These groups are kindof incestuous, they support each other in big ways. Unfortunately you did pick on the one with the utter bastard running it. Oh yeah to answer the misogynist question... yeah probably accidental language but it accurately reflects Seymour's attitude to all women who don't wanna sleep with him just cos his band's so great ;p. Not a personal grudge this, he just is completely blinkered when his actions might have the slightest effect on other people.
Have fun.
