[kj] OT: Editors

[ade]

The weird thing is, I've been obsessed with the post-punk era for a long
time now & it's close to my heart - you'd have thought I'd be happy to hear
all these bands trying to sound like JD, Bunnymen, etc, etc. But really, I
couldn't be more unimpressed/angry! Just hope someone will go buy Unknown
Pleasures off the back of some sh!tty Editors/Interpol post-punk-by-numbers
tripe.

  While I actually like that Futureheads, Ade's right about most of these
bands -- they're mostly "the odd good moment," but absolutely no staying
power.

  I quite like the odd Kasabian tune, though I've not listened at length
yet. They do a convincing effort at StoneRoses/Primals. I heard that
Futureheads sh!t-stain cover of Hounds of Love & just fukkin' *KNEW* I'd
hate them forever. And the Bravery.

  I think the majority of these bands are doing the exact same thing -
embarassing & tiresome rip-offs with the odd good moment...

its too complicated , it just doesn't sit well. Got deleted from the iPod
the other week.

    While we are on the subject of new bands... I listened to the Futueheads
CD quite a few months ago and it really didn't do anything for me. Then I
saw them support the Pixies and thought they were really good live and since
the CD has really warmed on me.
