You shouldn't have to do fucking Glee!

Frontman, Godlike Genius winner, top rock drummer, Dave Grohl recently published:
"It's every band's right, you shouldn't have to do fucking Glee," Grohl, 42, told The Hollywood Reporter. "Dude, maybe not everyone loves Glee. Me included. I watched 10 minutes and it wasn't my thing."
I love Dave, yes, but this is one of the MANY f**king reasons why.. he gets it. I can't stand Glee. It is horrible. The guys try to be manly, but look they come across totally well... gay-outlandish. I have nothing against gay people so don't start rocking that boat.

Glee albums, accessories, dvds etc. are being sold left right and centre... so they are appealing to people out there, got it... good... yep. But WHY... because they sing high and echoy and do AWESOME hip movements and wiggle the touche at awesome classic hits?

For me they are making these hits more like classic horrors... YES i happily admit I change the channel at an ad-break now, because i do not want music ruined. Can't these guys get their own material... they are killing music for me (yes that's drastic). I'm all for people doing their thing, making impact on society through songs, but why do these guys do it so BRIGHTLY and LOUDLY and IN YOUR FACE-LY... like F**K OFF... I know they have had some stars on the show, but WHY DO IT... Sorry guys but i did try, but felt my hair dropping out whilst aching through this shallow example of television.

Dave, your still the man dude...

Radiohead, are they pulling your limb?

Yes, No.. No.. well yes... actually No... nupe, no... yes no yes yes yes... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH what the f**k is the outcome of the new Radiohead album - The King of Limbs. Well its kinda the same, but not. The album title is a reference to an ancient tree in Savernake Forest, Wiltshire and did you know there are no guitars. Usually Thom Yorke is mourning, singing of lost life.. I mean there was a point to all that pain and suffering... OK Computer was established. However, i did like the old fashioned hype. Usually some music magazine or radio station has the inside scoop of a band's new album a good 6 weeks before its release. But this was different. This album was released after 4 days of it's announcement. No one could review, report, get the music lovers into a bind, well before the album was even officially released. So i respect that and therefore people could buy the album and get their own f**king impression. For all i care Thom Yorke could of made some megaphone announcement that there was a new album, but i don't think it would of mattered, people freakin' love Radiohead (or love having an opinion on them). I know that some Radiohead fans were waning a few years ago when a couple of their albums went sour, but then they released 'in Rainbows' BOOM, instant winner.. I guess that is where the huge expectation came for this new album.

Personally it's an ambient album providing mysterious layers of echoes whilst creating a dreamlike feel which gives us visuals (oceans, lakes, fish etc.)  throughout (ya.. read that again.. thats right). I wouldn't refer to this as a rock album, i become to disorientated and peaceful listening to it. This album is admittedly about.. well.. nothing... maybe its about inner peace... tranquility, nature? I guess we are used to Radiohead songs being about something, Radiohead using their words to articulate society at the time, just listen to The Bends or OK Computer. All in all, Radiohead are living in their fantasies in this album, everything ceases to exist, they float through the stereo with ease.. I actually consider it refreshing... I don't get depressed and want to cry... it's a real ride of chill.

I believe if you all listen to it several times you to will see what Radiohead are trying to achieve. Maybe they are just content people, maybe they are showing its audience 'Hey peeps, we have moved the f**k on.. so should you!'  I think there is something bigger on the horizon for Radiohead, and maybe we are just seeing the start.

Foo Fighters

Now a lot of you know that I love the foo fighters... or poo shooters as my dad calls them. BUT i'm please to say that they have got a new album 'Wasting Light' coming out, so check out their new song here rope.foofighters.com . 


You can see a good review at NME, however it is interesting to note that the Foos may be going back to their earlier roots here... so give them a chance, i know they have been a little crap lately but this album has been made in the God's (Dave) at home studio...
