Uhh...kinda sounds like they don't know much about Oasis. Kubler actually mentions "Stop the Clocks" when he talks about the band? It took Finn going to the UK to see how huge they are?
The Hold Steady is a great band, and I'm not a huge Oasis fan or anything, but there is nothing here that anyone who listened to the radio in the 90s doesn't already know.
Johnny Rotten...intelligent?
Come on. He makes good music but what has he ever done to merit being called intelligent?
As far as the incident -- Okerke sounds calm and..well, intelligent...while Lydon sounds angry and bullheaded. So I'm gonna have to side with Okerke.
I couldn't disagree any more.
I applaud Townshend for refusing to become one of those lame has-been bands just phoning it in by playing half-assed renditions of their 30-year-old hits (ahem, Rolling Stones).
As we know, Townshend has always been the artist in the band. And Daltrey has always been the lame one -- obsessed with looking cool and not giving a shit about writing good music (or any music, for that matter).
Looks like some things never change.
Guess I'm the only one around here..but I actually kinda liked the album. It's a nice listen in small doses.
Scarlett may not have the greatest voice..but she has an interesting delivery style at times. Plus...come on. We're indie rock fans -- when did we start caring whether singers have traditionally good voices?
And that production...
