In summary then: SERIOUSLY underwhelmed by new Marling after all the hype, I can see why Aaron hates Zooey Deschanel so much now and... I still maintain that Delphic are fucking awesome. No content (although actually that Gaga tune isn't all bad!) [view article]

Love the band (they were AWESOME at White Air...about the only band that were) and I dig how much he's gotten into answering the questions. And Duncan, Sky Larkin are not boring. Just because a band isn't thrust in the hyper-hyped over-saturated limelight within 6 months of their over-blogged first single doesn't mean they're not relevant! [view article]

In a world saturated with boring, stale, indie rock bands comes another boring, stale, indie rock band. I've heard about these guys 'breaking out' each of the past three years, can't we accept they're boring and move on already? [view article]
