Whoa! I aint mad, but whats with all the Billy bashin’ Stereogum? He’s no douche. He is more valid than most of the elite artists you tend to pump up. Lets Bash the eleventy-godzillionth knob- twiddling CSS-Fuckbutton-Crystal Castles-electro-80′s-ish novelty shit douche groups that seem to blippin’ all over your site. Nowadays music is the last thing people care about in this ADD culture. You need a shitty gimmick to attract hipsters. The dress up and write dumb lyrics that say nothing meaningful over a dancey drum beat with blips and a shocking band name. Why don’t you go play in a “image”-less local rock band for the next 10 years in a city overrun with house DJ’s and electro novelty acts that make more money playing everyone else’s music then writing there own. Lets see how many records you sell. This is the norm when it comes to selling music. I don’t believe hes hating on Radiohead….its just the reality of what lengths musicians have to go through to do this for a living. The approach is important…Gimmicks….you gotta love em’!
