Happy New Year everyone!
Woke up this morning with T4 on Channel 4 and they were interviewing Girls Aloud – you know that girl band outfit – they were asking them what music they dont like and guess what they said – heavy metal and punk . i mean what a bunch of ***** .
’so do you write any of the songs?’ they were asked – hahahaha that was funny listening to them try and make out they were involved -
they are just like models really – someone else makes the clothes, they have to wear them – and they have been made a musical career in the same vein. as much as you dont get punk/metal – i dont get girl bands/ boy bands – although when i was a kid i did love singing with a load of other girls – and i guess that’s what they are trying to do – appeal to the kids – get their imagination – but they are not helping the kids music imagination – where has the great empire of boy bands and girl bands taken the mass population in inspiration ?
i may have been a kid who would get up at school and sing a song with a bunch of girls while ‘miss’ played the piano – but bloody hell, thru love for it took it one step at a time further – didnt carry on singing with me school mates for the rest of me sodding music life – it makes no sense to me why these people exist – all the simon cowells and their clothes horses have achieved is inspiring a generation of kids not to give a shit about music really – another reason why they dont buy records anymore – utlimate interest has been taken away from music – you know the true hearttfelt stuff that you relate to and makes you rock while you’re rolling thru life – they’ve taken the imagination out of it all and produced us with a pile of prestine shit on a plate – and now with X Factor theuy’re bloody tryingto clone a load more of the same shite !!!
so – you dont like punk girls aloud? hmm you screw your nose up cos you really cant understand it ? your showing your ignorance and your showing blatant lack of ability to inspire because you have not allowed grass roots music to inspire you – sad – you’re very sad
so we stand at different sides of the track – and in this new year am happy where i’m standing and with whom.
To celebrate the new year – please read the new edition of Punk Globe – lovingly brought together by Ginger Coyote
