My highlight of V2002 was probably Soft Cell or Sigur Ros. The former for the gay groupies, amusing dance routines and chants of "Dave, Dave, Dave!" and the latter for the music and the bored look on my brother's face.

i don't people having a "passing interest" you either love something or you don't bother and you collect stamps or rape babies.. whatever turns you on.

the problem we have is that there are too many people bouncing either way, who don't really want to get into music properly cus that's too un-cool to be really engaged and excited by stuff. and the people who do make the leap end up becoming weird outsiders with eclectic music taste and eventually end up either in bands or writing about bands or spending their entire life working so that they can travel around seeing bands.

i just wish people who don't really like music would stop buying utter rubbish and creating a current state of history which so many people are going to blush until their burst blood cells about.

nothing in pop defines me. nothing. therein lies the problem.
