Well well well. It would seem that The Blog That Shall Not Be Named (please don't sue me, JK GROWLING) has posted about a new band - WHITE LINES. From what I remember, they're named after a famous RAP song by GRANDMASTER FLASH. If only The White Noise could live up to the song from which they draw their inspiration.

Note that I haven't actually LISTENED to the band at this point though. But on to more serious matters: why do I disagree with AFOR? The Infidel?

Well. I should really dislike White Lies. Unreasonably unpopular, absolutely nothing original at all, songs that wouldn’t sound out of place in a stadium setting. I find them rather hard easy to hate for two reasons. First of all is that derivative or not, the songs are pretty good awful. Secondly, they put on a hell of a terrible live show.

This will never be a band I’ll fall in love with. But songs like Death are still mighty fine awful songs.

John has SPOKEN.

Hello, and welcome.

This blog is dedicated to rubbishing the opinions of one "Another Form of Relief" blog, every post of which I have so far DISAGREED WITH. Some time 6 days ago I decided to dedicate my life to pointing out why that particular blog (which I will no longer name) is WRONG about EVERYTHING.

Now, I'm no fan of "MUSIC"- in fact, the last thing I heard was during an advert for fried CHICKEN, about three months ago - but I am more in touch with THE SCENE than the aforementioned COWBOY up there. Yes, you know the one.

So join me on my quest to point out the WRONGNESS that is abound in music journalism these days. I think you will find it will be an exciting, and indeed, GARRULOUS, time, for all concerned.
