unfortunately her posts give no clue beyond that, so one can only guess, it would be more informative if she explained why she hates them so much, perhaps she feels that she has been denied an opportunity at some point by some clique?

perhaps this is a product of something personal in your life?

Im quite tasty

and if i met him id punch him very hard.....I know you wont understand...its a personal thing.

and I loved punk.

Thats so unfair, i never say that modern music is rubbish.
I think that there is an awful lot more musically talented new bands now with alternative ideas.

However I must speak up and point out that one thing the opinion says is not right about.

Punk was a revolution, if only because of the stiflingness of the way a lot of the previous few years music was going, previously innovative bands were getting lazy and fat, riffs were getting longer and more indulgent, they were all getting a bit samey and just trying to be 'more so' of the same thing......there were of course exceptions and even though an avid punk I liked roxy music david bowie and trex......oh and stuff like can.
(I also liked a lot of pre punk disco n soul but thats my own special secret shame)

to sum up punk was the freshest broom, simply because there was so much dust and cobwebs of conformity, in society as well as the supposedly alternative culture of popular music. But I love a lot of music today and im constantly amazed at how much more talent and musicality there is now.........ha hahahahaha 'the rezillos clogging up the charts' i only remember one of their songs getting in the charts 'top of the pops'

ps it also wasnt crap fashion...simply because it wasnt fashion, most people didnt get their clothes from malcom maclarens shop, they made the look themselves and it could be what you wanted, I notice with wry cynacism that all clothing genres are now brought to modern musical styles via prepackaged consumer rebellion lines from the outlets of Mr Mammon

You would have had a good point, its a shame you made it crapper by casting your insults around too liberally and too wide. Im sure musical journalists can be full of shit, and nostalgia coupled with pulling rank of age and experiance probably gets annoying to you.

But personally I shut up about music and let myself be a fan and get clues from clued up youngsters who know far better whats good going on rather than me.

Trust me.

the birthday party, wolfgang press, xmal deutschland, lush? Not a moan just a query, are these not considered famous? I have much vinyl of thse artists.

I <3 4AD

4AD and John Peel have been the two biggest influences in my musical tastes.

Cocteau twins are my most loved band ever and will probably always will be, but I also loved 'song to the siren' and 'another day' under the 'This mortal coil' banner.

I think that you should release 'Another Day' as a single all these years later.

mine too

for the DIStival....make sure all Disers get a chance to buy tickets before they all dissappear on ticket master or something

This isn't really a review just that I'm saddened cos I used to know him, I always remember how starstruck he was cos he got to meet and interview Marc Bolan, he was a great fan of music as well as a maker.....blimey I'm gobsmacked. Does anyone know how it happened?

I think sometimes she looks totally hot, other times she looks like a bag of spanners
