“Soft, warm, fuzzy, fake.”

Back to Bluntdom: Your ‘Beauty’ Corrupted The Kids

“It’s plastic fantasy for the media junky generation: dance dance dance to the radio but STOP for Blunt and his tears, kids; he cries for you and I and all can relate to his woe. Well woah indeed, bucky. Why am I reading Q today and finding David Gray praised but a finger’s count of pages away from the retelling of the Cobain tale? Why should fans of Gray check out Sparklehorse? What the fuck has happened since Ooberman made me dance like a child and Idlewild’s ‘Idea Track’ had me jumping drunkenly from chairs in other peoples’ rooms in halls of residence that weren’t my own? That’s not so long ago; it’s not so long ago when commercially viable music could mean something more than this, this utter vacancy, this vacuous cunt of snide smirks cutting through Tiny Tears outpourings on my fuckin’ television singing to me a lullaby of the utmost banality.”
