Steve Albini, The Strokes, & Westlife

oceanRain [Edit] [Delete] 02:07, 22 May '05
I read that quote mr ishotthecop put up on his profile. An Albini quote reeking of integrity. Right? Then I see Steve on VH1 saying how wonderful ZZ Top are. OK, Billy Gibbons can play guitar. So what. She's Got Legs is a shite song as are most ZZ Top tunes. Canna think of a good one, in fact. Anyway, so what the Strokes are wealthy pricks. Can a band buy their way to the top?I'm not a big Strokes fan, but it ain't like they're Westlife shite, eh?

Then there's the whole issue of selling out. I used to think sponsoring Cadillacs was A-OK fucking dandy, but when's enough enough? The line between Art and Marketing is getting awfully damn blurry these days.

INTEGRITY. DiScuss.
