"Hunting Season" = GENIUS.
I'...Do it!! "Hunting Season" = GENIUS.<br />I'm contemplating a blog piece entitled "Just because you're Indie doesn't mean you're Good" but it's a bit harsh and really just a reaction to the vaguely indie hipsters I was editing up until this afternoon. (On that: music clips would be way more fun if there were no managers, labels and possibly musicians involved.<br />There. I said it.) <br />Now bring me my slippers and a Horlicks...<br /><br />;)<br /><br />xKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973005261421274957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080861742368917251.post-62708989769189960942009-07-08T16:58:20.688+10:002009-07-08T16:58:20.688+10:00Hey Katie, I actually wrote about the animal bands...Hey Katie, I actually wrote about the animal bands and my fear that I was just getting too old to understand 'young' people's music. But then I decided I didn't like it because I think it's a bunch of derivative crap. Maybe I should finish that off - it was entitled Hunting Season. <br /><br />But I'm much the same. So much music informs place and time or is a faithful friend through thick and thin. I probably think about music more than anything else which probably explains why I've made a career of not having a career and I'm more excited about the prospect of a new Superchunk ep than, well, pretty much anything.<br /><br />Long live the music nerds!<br /><br />Jon xJonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439169949165545033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080861742368917251.post-70270757861308352312009-07-08T08:59:38.272+10:002009-07-08T08:59:38.272+10:00Snap! (Such a terrific piece JH. I love this idea ...Snap! (Such a terrific piece JH. I love this idea of using music as the markers of periods in our lives. Music is so immediately evocative.)<br />Pitchfork is always my first port of call when sussing out a new band discovery too (followed by Metacritic) but I am so with you: I just don't get that whole GrizzlyDeerCollective phenomenon at all. At best this music is unengaging, at worst, slightly irritating. I did try though.<br />I thought I was just on the wrong side of 30.<br />And spot on re. DCFC. They, (also The National for me) are all about the moment and if you don't have that moment with them, you probably won't like them. <br />Makes me think, maybe we just didn't have the 'moment' with GrizzlyDeerCollective?Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973005261421274957noreply@blogger.com
