Agree with point 2 - fuck the masturbating vituosos who can't write a good song.
Disagree with point 1 - "electropunk" still has some good stuff to offer (LCD Soundsystem were one of the greatest bands of the past decade). And electronic music, much more even.
And I love their sound.

@cordedpoodle I believe he played with his teeth. I highly doubt it was just showmanship. There are plenty of people now a days who have learned to play with their teeth, one of which being the Hendrix impersonator you regularly see on Hollywood Blvd. I have literally stood about two feet away while he played with his teeth a couple of times.

@changobilly22 Hendrix didn't play with his teeth, that was fake. Showmanship. I saw Hendrix. And yes amazing should be AMAZING. I've seen hundreds of bands. I was amazed about 5 times.

@pencildives LOL... Squiers. Don't forget their Roland Cube amps and their auto-tune plugins.

i respect them. and i like cassie ramone alot. but to be honest. i wouldnt be the one to say "oh i hate those stupid trendy dance beats."
and come on! those dance beats are fun and its what the bands like to write in their music. if its what the bands want and it makes them happy, why the crap would someone be the one to down them about it! its not the people who listen to the band's descision. this band is not that good anway, they play the same crappy sounding chords and beats all the time...

@Jethro494 At this point it is....Bands like Of Montreal consider themselves to be 'indie',

Awwww, that's sooo cute. They like writing songs. I like puppies and rainbows and black hash.

@cordedpoodle Amazing as in the literal meaning. N. To astonish greatly or to overwhelm with surprise or sudden wonder. (also, To bewilder or perplex). So yes, Hendrix is an amazing guitar player because he really overwhelmed me with sudden wonder and caused me to become bewildered AND perplexed by his guitar playing (as a guitar player myself). His use of the blues and the way he played with his teeth also perplexed me because, to this day, i have yet to see someone do it as well as he did.
: )
hey Vivian Girls, why don't you write a good song
