You are like me!
I really like their stuff…very similar to the Cure in places.
i don't really have much of an opinion on the black kids, but i thought this article was a pretty good rundown on the perils of blog culture.
I agree with Booker re: that article.


They do have a few catchy songs but the blog hype is out of hand.
I heard they're not even really black kids.
Best line:

[F]orcing kids without the chops or songs into the hard-touring, hard-interviewing, hard-pressed-to-come-up-with-material spotlight.

I started into music blogs for about 2 months before I realized it was just a "who's cooler than who" in the breaking of new bands. Now, I can't remember the last time I actually read a strictly music blog.

I may not hear about the newest bands as quickly as they break, but at least I don't waste some of my time with half-baked trends.
