I'm Aidan...I don't want to be here. I should be in space.
“You wanna know everything?…starting with the big bang?”
This is my favourite thing ever today.
“So blank, so generic, it’s borderline abstract. A dreamy alienation afflicts you on first listen. It is end times for this type of music. ‘Ladrock’. Exhausted in its first seconds of recycled existence and exhausted ten generations on.
When did the term ‘working class music’ become a front for taking art out of the equation? Joy Division, The Specials, the Manics, The Fall, The Human League, Minutemen… this is a betrayal of their legacy, the enemy of imagination, of D-Boon’s dedication to art as “a way to learn about the beauty of the world,” perpetuating the myth that the working classes have no right to have culture in their lives. Or worse… no inclination, or worse - no capacity for it. When did “We’re just normal lads, us” ever have anything to do with it? When did unconstructed mundanity equate to honesty; ‘the truth’? Oasis, Weller, Stereophonics, you created a hell on earth. You patronize your target demographic. Shame on you.”- Drowned in Sound’s review of The Enemy’s new album hits the mark so perfectly.
I don’t know what I’m doing
Jabberwock
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
