So Sick of the Latest Bands

I tell you I am so sick of the latest bands. Who do they think they are, for one thing? It's not like they've accomplished anything yet, and already they've left behind what was so good about them.

Discursive Deck's last mix tape was a joke. What was that, retro-nostalgia for acid house? And the guest MC spot by Dragonsoy - she is so pathetic! Why does everybody want her to rap on their middle eight? She barely even rhymes! Yeah, I know - that's part of the joke. The other part of the joke is that it's not funny.

Back Alley Colossus was a great idea, and I'm the first to admit it - in fact, I was. But now, the posturing has gone beyond fun to presumptuous. Guitar solos? Even as irony, that palls and galls. Besides, they need another guitarist to cover with some convincing counterpoint, if Stephane's going to keep missing that many notes.

Oh, so Pretend Pilgrim has an album now? A wax album? How avant-droll. Whatever message that's supposed to send, they should have taken the advice of their own album title instead: Operation Stay Home And Sulk would have been a far better idea than that set they played at the release party. Even their "manager" looked embarrassed (hi, Janes!).

And St. Cynicism's "One Foot In The Sky" - a CD Single? What the f? Who spiked the gin rickeys at Spurlocks with nostalgia-for-forgotten-formats juice? Since when are MP3's not sufficient? And why are people still even hanging out at Spurlocks! That place has not had so much as a shimmer of mirage-cool left to it since Paulo left, and you fucking know it, Cynthia! Quit haunting the upper deck lounge like a psychowaif revenant, and clean that fake-cry mascara off your dumb stupid cowface! That was my place, that was my look, and you ruined them both with your disingenuous ingenue routine!. They named the band Disingenue after you, you bitch, did you know that?

Ingenuisance would have been better.

Disingenue. Another once-great band that nothing but sucks now, ever since their bassist was such a dick to me after their infamous Pre-Halloween gig at Whyhouse. Yeah, Bradt, they couldn't kick you out fast enough could they? Serves you right!

Sons of Hunger are still awesome. I can't stay mad at those girls.
