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 UPDATED Secret History Of Band Aid
12 Nov 2014 The Secret History Of Band Aid Everybody remembers Band Aid. And – despite everything – most people remember Band Aid 2. And now we have Band Aid 20 30. Which rather begs the question – why does nobody ever talk about Band Aids 3 to 29? Take a trip down memory lane as we remind […]

10cc – “Dreadlock Holiday”

The narrator is a tourist in Jamaica – he gets mugged for his silver chain and returns to the comfort of his hotel where a woman […]

WHITE TOWN – “Your Woman”
4 Feb 2014 #757, 25th January 1997 In 1997, talking about music on the Internet means USENET, a Gormenghast of diverging and reconnecting fora whose goblin tribes gleefully rampage through each other’s chosen lairs: a thread will start on alt.music.prodigy, then careen into alt.music.spice-girls via alt.music.misc, while Discordians and trolls plot to spread it still further.

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.
