LwP: Mainstream 2007 looks worse than any other year so far

loads of 'terrace anthem' bands as advocated by the Kaiser Chiefs.
I think mainstream music in terms of what can traditionally be denoted as 'indie' or 'alternative' is in for a long dark night of the soul this year.
Its about time that the so called 'underground', and I don't mean amemnic sub-sub-sub 'gypsy' raggle taggle carousers like Larrikin Love or Jamie T either, came up from behind and took the industry 'on' before it collapses onto its arse like some potato-headed non-entity salesperson type dancing valiantly to Pyramid Song (Sean Paul mix) at a wedding. Come on, don't have your head up your arse with limited edition one sided chinless noodling with the lyrics being made up solely from your last Last FM chart update, take on the complacancy of an industry reared on Cast now hnuting for bands who sounded like the 'top tunes' they heard at 'fooking uni' - stop the cancer from spreading, for heaven's sake!
