because I can't actually see this getting published

because this was an email that went on a little too long...because, as much as I can get away with, I can't actually see this getting published...because this is the fucking truest thing I've ever written about music ever.

You disagree, and you're a fucking liar.

I liked that.

Some of what you wrote reminded me of this...

Musical Hairsplitting: The act of classifying music and musicians into pathologically picayune categories: "The Vienna Franks are a good example of urban white acid fold revivalism crossed with ska."

Culture"

it's sad 'cos it's so true.

i also wonder if the fact that everything new in music is so derivative these days is due to there being nothing (or at least very little) new left to do, other than stupid sub-genre fusions? or is it just that people are too lazy/stupid/boring?

you need to find some other Australian bands to cross reference. Sure Jet are repetitive and quite like the shallow end of a pool at the best of times, but the gets old, sour and chunky, or brown, moulding, growing hair in every oriface and wearing false teeth.

genres and sub-genres are both in themselves very lame. Listen to what doesn't make you puke.
