New Pretenders album is a big disappointment.
Kings Of Leon goes down hill after the first 4 tracks.
TV ON THE RADIO terrific. |

And this is Morrisey singing my tagline. |

| I never got the appeal of Morrisey or The Smiths. My old roommate was among the legions of devoted fans, but I guess it just wasn't my thing. |

Jeremy's link is the first time I have heard Morrisey. From that clip, he doesn't seem much to me and his voice is certainly not very good. Maybe he was tired. |

Christ wade. Just because people don't dig some band you're into doesn't make them morons. I never was a Smiths or Morrisey fan. But, I do love Madonna. Does that make me part moron.
Morrisey reminds me a bit of David Bowie. I don't think of either of them as rock and rollers. I think of them as cabaret acts with rock bands behind them. Anthony Newley with Marshall amps.
I also find Morrisey's massive ego off putting.
Now I'm gonna go listen to some Marc Bolan. |

wade,
I can dig why you might be a bit frustrated by the Film Society. I've been
away for a year or so and not much has changed. It seems impossible to attract new blood to this site. But, the bitching doesn't help. Intense arguments that are thought out and intelligent can be energizing. Dismissing each other with snide comments or insults just makes the Society look like a dysfunctional family. Who wants to be a part of that?
I admit that in the past I was as guilty as anyone for being a little bitch.
That's one of the reasons I split. |

Thanks for coming back to put me in my place and you know i'm a BIG bitch. I hear ya, though, that's just how my opinions come out. Sorry.
My freakin life is like a Smiths song right now so to hear someone dismiss their genius so cavalierly stuck in my craw(?). |

| RIP Freddy Hubbard, ace horn blower whose melody in Herbie Hancock's "Cantaloupe Island" will always be a definer of cool. |

Haven't listened to the new Pretenders album yet but have heard the new TV On The Radio and Kings Of Leon. I don't like the new TV On The Radio album i like their older stuff a lot better. I don't get why everyone is loving the new TVOTR! It's not that good. I love the new Kings Of Leon album! I've loved Kings Of Leon since their album Youth and Young Manhood. I'm glad they are finally big in the US! I tried to get a lot of people into Kings Of Leon when I first heard them! |

I confess to not being able to get into TV on the Radio at all. It's chiefly about their whiny lead singer. I forgave Win Butler and The Arcade Fire for his whiny voice, chiefly because he achieves so much overcharged emotion and their music is so fervent. TV on the Radio just sound like another art-pop band who've listened to too much new wave.
Los Campesinos, on the other hand, rock severely. |
