Split personality
Posted on April 26th, 2006, under Events
My loyalty to cultural studies is this morning sorely tested, i.e:
Sonic Youth, Grinspoon, DJ Shadow, The Grates, Death Cab for Cutie, TV on the Radio, Augie March, The Avalanches (DJ set), Youth Group, Brittle Fex, Atmosphere and Paul Mac; Brian Wilson, Wolfmother, Scissor Sisters, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jose Gonzalez, Snow Patrol, You Am I, Decoder Ring, The Presets, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Zutons, Matisyahu and Clare Bowditch & Feeding Set.
Does anyone know if the organiser of this festival is married?

I’m suddenly depressed to realise that the evolution of my musical taste, with the exception of discovering VNV Nation about 5 years ago, stopped sometime in the mid-1990s. Who are all these young whipper-snappers? Well, not the ex-Beach Boy, of course.
Sigh. I wonder what the affliction of preferring to write music rather than listen to it is called.

Aw come on Nick, it ain’t like that. Sonic Youth are celebrating their 25th birthday as a band this year. Yikes.

Erm, have to admit I’ve never actually _liked_ Sonic Youth. I am a goth, after all. Except of course, I seem to favour bands that sound like they’re covering the Doctor Who theme, even when they’re not. For instance, the Cure. I’m not making any sense, am I?

lol!!!!!!
isn’t all pop music a theme song for a tv show that hasn’t yet been created, but is, in fact, a tv show ‘to come’?
oh wait, I am confusing ‘toward a minor literature’ with big brother…
