Okay... you may not be a Talking Heads fan. But, I post this as an example of when musical artists were actually artists.
Today's music just sounds so derivative and over-produced. I hear that song, "Rock Star" by Nickelback on the radio... and I almost want to grab one of my firearms and start shooting at the radio. All American Rejects? I'm not a fifteen-year-old girl. Anything on pop radio? Please put a knife through my eye.
And, don't tell me we have Coldplay or Keane or some other sappy, melancholic "emo" stuff that is brilliant. I have to take Zofran, Wellbutrin, and a shot of insulin before I can endure that stuff.
The only "artist" that I think comes close these days to doing anything interesting is Sufjan Stevens... and even he gets on my nerves if I listen to him for more than 15 minutes at a stretch (see above re: Zofran, Wellbutrin, and insulin).
Help me, folks. Let's hear some suggestions. I need to rekindle my faith in the music industry... that there are actually poeple willing to support, produce, and market interesting and entertaining music... and that doesn't make me want to either vomit or kill myself... or both.
