Subject: Admit your roots ...
Amercian underground? Sorry, lovecat but that's all I'll listen to. As for being sooo boring, I guess they need a haircut and an nice color spread in NME to catch your attention, no? I'm a bigot for american rock and I'll admit it! I think all this bias AGAINST certain bands because they're from a CERTAIN country is wrong and you are way off base, Lovecat ... BUT ... if I hear one more whiney, insipid, English haircut I swar I'm gonna lop their balls off (if they haven't done it already). Great American bands (off the top of my head) ... Sonic Youth Butthole Surfers Great Plains Soul Asylum Husker Du Black Flag Anti-Scrunti FAction Sarcastic Orgasm Lil Gents Executive Slacks Gone If you can't admit your roots and would rather go whine in Europe with a bunch of snotty haircuts, lovecat, be my guest ... more American bands ... Circle Jerks Marginal Man Tex and the Horseheads SamHain Beefeater Frightwig Adrenaline O.D. Green River ANYTHING on Dischord etc etc etc etc etc etc etc Now here's the only English bands worth the trip over the Atlantic to play for humans ... not wavos.... UK SUBS Robyn and the Egyptians Billy Bragg DISCHARGE BROK N BONES Cocteau Twins (at least a couple years ago ...) ---- Ok, I'll admit the English wankers are GREAT about making commercial music and calling it "progressive" .... I mean you remember the Smiths don't you??? "I am human and I neeeeeed to be llaaalaaaavoeeed, just like anyone else" - { gag, spit, puke } Or what about the Jesus Mary Chain? .... oh you probably liked Wankie Goes to Hollywood (the only good tunes they did were covers of American artists by the way ...) I suggest Mr Lovecat before you do the trendy putdowns of thrash that you get into the pit or at least go to a live show where the English whining is not present. Maybe you'd stop calling yourself Lovecat? Wanker... At least you admit you are a wimp, though.
