Today's hip tunes. New music that isn't Classic Rock or Jazz!

A Pig Always Eats At The Trough He Wants To

That would be the equivalent of saying "Wasn't all the best 60's and 80's music about Brit bands? Maybe that's why nobody cares..." All the best jazz musicians are black, maybe that's why nobody cares... I'm the least PC person on the planet but that's almost the most racist reason for not listening to something I ever heard anyone give.

I can't help that Britain in the 80's was the hippest place on the planet anymore than I can help that Scandinavia now is. What happens is that a band like the Beatles or Smiths come along and influence every other kid in that country to want to do the same thing, and then it takes off.

Meanwhile there will always be people who makes statements like yours above. In any case it's also wrong. Only 3 of my 7 most recent reviews are Scandinavian, and only 1 out of the next 5 to be done is.

In any case the point is if you want to ignore brilliant music because you have to pidgeon hole it, hey, knock yourself out. And if you are jumping to a misguided conclusion that they all sing in swedish or something, you are entirely wrong. Every one of them sings in english. I won't bother to get into why, but they all do, and that means virtually every indie band in the world regardless of where they are from.

So if you're telling me you went to the Labrador website like I directed and went to their clips page like I also directed and you couldn't find ANYTHING there you liked musically, then there is really no helping you anyway and in fact why you are even here is a mystery to me. And if you didn't go and listen then you are acting like a troll who jumped to an ill informed conclusion. But in many ways you demonstrated the sort of antipathy and resistance people always put up when faced with something new and "strange".

All I know is when I come across a new album that is supposed to be good, my first question isn't what nationality they are. If it's yours then you'll have to live and suffer with your own agendas. Like the old adage, "You just can't help some people".


It's all about the music...
