Directions: Read 1976, immediately jump to 2010 & cry, cry, cry & laugh. Then, go to 1978-1991 & take notes (like my guitar&glitter-clad heroes had been telling me to do 10, 12, 13 years ago & it took me too long to catch on).
It was years before I figured out that I really don’t need to know what the bandoftheMOMENT is, as long as I know where presumed band is probably pulling their influences from. This moment & band are fleeting, but what’s been done’s been done…why rehash? Go straight to the source now.
(Wish I had known THEN that the shiny, metallic Celebrity Skin guitars are really Echo & the Bunnymen’s Crocodiles — They even said it in the liner notes! They admitted it! Wish I had known better/done my research back in 1998. When I was fourteen).
Because, really? BandsoftheMOMENT are decided by drunk & naked hipster bloggers in front of their Macs. Eww.
“Alternative to what?”
1979 + 1980 = <3 <3 <3
Ironically, I know a bunch of douchebags that were born in those years. Odd, no? :)
