Blog of Eternal Stench

As I sit here, mired in the confusion that comes hand-in-hand with the 'all important 2nd album' syndrome, I couldn't fail to notice that my debut blog may appear slightly on the 'negative' side. It's certainly true that I detest Reality TV and Viewer-Voter music shows with a murderous passion, and hold them accountable for the decline of British Society. Them, and mushrooms. But why focus on the downsides of life, for surely that man was right when he said that we should accennnnnnnnntuate the positive.

The intention then is to be a Beacon of Hope, a light in the window for my poor wandering boy, lost in the wilderness somewhere between Steps and Miley Cyrus. There has, after all, been almost a century's worth of recorded popular music, and it's only in recent years that things have truly started to suck. So we shall stand as a musical Treaty of Versailles, a League of Nations, designed to call to account the aural atrocities and make sure that They Don't Happen Again. (Admittedly, Versailles and the L.O.N ultimately allowed for the rise of Nazi Germany and Big Adolf's World Tour 1939-1945, but the intention was in the right place).

From Hank to Hendrix, Marvin to Miles, Dylan to The Dillards, ? and The Mysterians to ?uestlove and The Roots, we shall champion the great and rise above the unworthy. On a sun-blessed Friday afternoon, what more could anyone ask for?
