Are you waiting for something?

with Suthers, wtf? you might as well say you want to be 18 again so you can feel the way you felt about Screamadelica about something new today - its probably not going to happen, just get old already

and Liam, tut tut, there will never be another 'Never Mind The Bollocks' - it was a one off, if something like that came out today it would be laughed and slagged off before it got the chance to make any real impact, i can't help thinking...sames goes for half the Beatles albums i reckon, not that they're not good albums

i'm not waiting for anything, i'm already convinced that acid house was the last 'great revolution in pop' and anything ahead will just be a nice and necessary update on something past

but more seriously, if i sit and wonder about what the next "big" thing will be, i always get depressed wondering if this "break" will be thanks to the hands of advertisers. nick drake's sales and popularity jumped after car ad, right? i know moby's did.

but then what about the sex pistols? especially since they themselves started as a walking ad for mclaren & westwood's shop. so maybe big movements, worthy as they might be for sparking new movements and bands, are inseparable from the workings of the mass media ...

screamadelica has "higher than the sun" on it = it is great (coupled with several other great songs.) i wouldn't be able to make claims for it as a revolutionary/groundbreaking album, but it's full of great pop music...

plus, what these hoary old rock men dont realise is that they might no like the next revolution/big thing/whatever. what they really should say is "we are waiting for some white men to make another rock album"

BUT YOU ALREADY ARE OBSOLETE FUCKFACE!

Just one thing: for Fishbone to get rekignized PROPERLY.

Noel Gallagher was obsolete at birth.

yes it is. mostly bad, often virtually unbearable. but it's also something of an art form in its own right.
