Year of Indie? Oh no.
Sunday, 16 December 2007
So, I'm looking at the Radio 1 playlist at the moment as I'm really quite disturbed by the amount of Indie 'rock' they're playing nowadays.
It all seems to be young bands who sing about how terrible life is in their home city - while retaining their accents, of course - and who have forgotten to turn the distortion up on their amps.
Going down the playlist, I find this roll-call of rubbish:

Going down the playlist, I find this roll-call of rubbish:
- Arctic Monkeys
- Bloc Party
- Editors
- The Enemy
- Jack Penate
- The Pigeon Detectives
- Scouting for Girls
- The Hoosiers
- The Wombats
- The Maccabees
My god, Radio 1 needs a bit of rock.
Amy Winehouse is also on the playlist, although god knows why. Surely it's a negative move that Radio 1 could be seen indulging and condoning someone who spends most of her life banging on Blake's prison door and stumbling around London in a drunken stupor.
I suppose they could say that they're purely concentrating on the music - if they didn't spend most of their entertainment bulletins harping on about her latest coke-addled night out. And it's not as if they could use the 'concentrating on the music' excuse, anyway, as her records sound like a cat with a sore throat that's been put in a blender with a dodgy car engine and a couple of knives.
