Indie Rock Porn

No, seriously. It is. Over 18s only. You will be amazed to see an XXX site – actually it’s barely half an X – with all the defensive snobbery you know and love from your favourite zines (“for men who actually get laid” sets the tone nicely). All the women are skinny and have awful music taste (or claim to). None of them look remotely like indie rock girls. Which is a shame ’cause I’d pay good mon…ahem. Only joking.

I was wondering what stuff would come up in related articles when you posted that climate change story, Tom. Actually, I bet you were wondering too.

Yes this one crops up in a few sidebars. This is from a more innocent time of course, indie rock porn is now all over the shop, at least it was the last time I looked at Pitchfork.

The Jubilee Stuff
1 Jun 2002 1 The weather matters. Saturday 1st June: 8pm, and the sky out of my window is still fading pale blue, weightless, benevolent. A jubilee weekend of rain would be a symbolic down: but then, we are long used to finding a meaning in the rain. Not just we aesthetes (‘I’m happy when it rains’; ‘You’re […]

MICHAEL JACKSON – “Billie Jean”
18 May 2009 #516, 5th March 1983 Michael Jackson came to the title “King of Pop” in the style of a medieval ruler, carving out his realm piece by piece across a hard year of campaigning. He won some of his new subjects when he performed this song as part of a Motown anniversary special: others when he […]

LOW – Christmas
24 Dec 1999 Low’s Christmas tree is a simple one, with eight plain wooden baubles. The band write four tracks themselves, offer interpretations of two carols and crooners’ favourite “Blue Christmas”, and nobody’s bothered to take credit for “Taking Down The Tree” (but it sounds like one of Low’s own). The record is packaged – beautifully – like […]

9 Jul 2002 Andrew WK: I Get Wet: Pitchfork Review: Remarkable write-up of the Andrew WK album from Ryan Schrieber, Pitchforkmedia’s editor-in-chief.

Dead Again: MP3s And The Dissolution Of Pop
26 Apr 1999 The mode of the music changes, the city quakes, or at least those blocks of primer-than-thou office space quake that house the HQs of worldwide record companies. The reason, apparently, is MP3 technology, which you all know about and most of you use, and which has been the subject of acres of ruminative, pessimistic music […]
