That article in the Guardian today about middle class vs 'oik' bands

prole-art-threat [Edit] [Delete] 11:10, 3 October '08

Come on everyone get over it - its marketing - I agreeed with all points but let's not forget the music at that level is nothing other than that - marketing - read it, its really good but ignore the usual 'insert token Jon Savage punk quote' - punk wasn't year zero, that too was marketed to buggery, stop making us think it was some serendipitous moment you idiot faces. Who cares if the Foals are middle class or the Enemy 'oiks' - they're just the same - marketing material, collateral call it what you like - sometimes the music is good sometimes it utter turd and only time will 'out' as it were.

Music eh?
