re:
I'm sure they understand. Sign after sign, hint after hint show that they understand how important it could be to find a position of strength without the homogenising cultural muscle of the music industry. (A homogenising cultural muscle whose products I also enjoy, but would cherish an alternative to). I'm saying this now bedcause I love them, I'm saying it now because I don't want to be sad or angry in two years having been let down again, like I was (we were, eh duke?) with Hurrah! or the Smiths or so many others years ago.
2 Questions: i) What is a homogenised cultural muscle? Is there a less pretentious term for this part of the anatomy? ii) Isn't this being-let-down-by-bands-and-populism thing (something that miraculously ceases to bother you when you give up reading the music press, by the by), if it has happened with what seem to be some of the bands you most like, as central a part of your enjoyment of pop as any other? rgds john. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
