Pretty sure the drums keep the beat, not guitars.
But yeah, I understand what you mean.
It's just that in the last 12 months, the coverage of guitar bands on sites like Stereogum and P4K has been pretty scant. Where on earth am I suppose to go for music news?!
Why is this girl a thing?
Okay, she's a good rapper, but the amount of crap that she puts out far outweighs her achievements.
All the big indie blogs these days seem obsessed with proving they aren't rockist. Really getting sick of it.
Can we get back to talking about Japandroids and Lower Dens?
"At least mainstream acts can stay popular for decades."
There will be a bunch of indie acts from this generation that will continue on strong.
Mainstream acts have to go through just as much of a vetting process. It just all happens behind record companies doors.
Because indie rock is so associated with the 'blog-o-sphere', everything is done out in the open and we get to see how the sausage is made.
Look, 10 years ago, I would have agreed with you. But it's a different world now, and artists need to do what they do.
But I think it really comes down to the sort of brands that the artists are endorsing. In this case, Converse, I guess it's okay; as long as you're cool with sweatshop labour.
As a graphic designer, I can say that we ALL rip each other of ALL the time.
These are both just rip offs of that whole 'FRANKIE SAY RELAX' revival that was going on a few years ago with t-shirts.
Your criticisms of the Mac are generally valid (though I think you downplay the importance of the 'shiny package').
But you are dead wrong about Jobs did giving to charity. He did so, but he did it privately. People have come out attesting to this.
"But when thou givest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth" Matthew 3:6
Andrew W.K. and Matt and Kim are a perfect match because of the high energy personalities.
But Soulja Boy? What the hell?
In any case, nothing will ever top Julian/Pharrell/Santigold. I still hear that when I go to the club.
Glad they put Yo La Tengo in there. First time I heard these guys [Yuck], I was like "Woah, someone finally decided to do a riff on Yo La Tengo. Awesome".
It amazes me how misinformed 90% of the people here seem to be.
Firstly, this service contains no streaming. iCloud automatically downloads the files directly to all your devices, iTunes Match does the same, except for files not purchased on iTunes.
Most of the iCloud services are not available yet. The only thing you can do so far is manually download songs to devices which you have already purchased on iTunes using other devices.
I am happy with the latest round of updates from Apple. Specifically making device syncing wireless. I hate have a song or app on my iPad, but not also on my iPhone. Having to use my PC as a middleman is frustrating as hell. Now with iCloud, I can skip the PC for updating, but still have it within the network, and use it to store all my files.
Who is Lady Antebellum? Honeslty. Maybe its because I am Australian, but I have never heard of them. I am guessing they are new; good on them, I suppose.
The guitar is very 80's metal/NES game soundtrack. But not in a bad way.
I know they tried to integrate more metal-y guitar shit on their last album, with disastrous results.
This is what they SHOULD have done.
Very happy with this.
