Bah, well, I've certainly had better days. Aah well, it's all work-related cobblers, and I won't bore you with it. Suffice to say that I've been cheering myself up with a dose of DOCTOR TRAN!
HOT DICKINGS!
Went to City Invasion on sunday and it was much fun. Got to see some pretty good bands in the company of munch, Jackie, Saffa, gtwr and Peter_Minger. The Mingers were good fun, and I discovered a couple of new bands, and had that lovely moment when you get home and find out the band you've just discovered has actually been around for ages and there's loads of stuff to hunt down. Woo, yay and houpla.
Right, enough of that, time to go from zero to snark in 3 seconds!
Creamy's one sentance band reviews
The Test Icicles: See The Arctic Monkeys
Coheed and Cambria: In a truly spectacular achievement they manage to combine the spineless whinging of emo, the soulless guitar-chugging of metal and the pretentious directionless meandering of prog without any of the upsides.
The Arctic Monkeys: See The Futureheads
The Raconteurs: Because what the world really needed was a supergroup for the smug, floppy-haired indie set.
The Futureheads: See Kaiser Chiefs
Panic! At The Disco: All Our Song Titles Are Incredibly Long and Unwieldy Because It Makes Us Seem Very Intellectual And Decadent.
The Kaiser Chiefs: See Maximo Park
!!!: FUCK OFF
Maximo Park: See Franz Ferdinand
Coldplay: Somewhere out there right now are a youngish middle-class suburban couple sitting in an apartment full to bursting with Ikea furniture having just eaten something made with too much sun-dried tomatoes and they're thinking whether or not to have dull, lifeless unimaginative sex during which they use a vibrator once a month and think it makes them daring, experimental libertines and THEY BOTH LIKE COLDPLAY.
Franz Ferdinand: See The Test Icicles
Sufjan Stevens: Because putting in Oboes and woodwind automatically makes it sophisticated and not at all like elevator muzak with ideas above it's station.
