The irrational band hatreds thread has been jolly interesting and amusing. I note that “interesting” hair is SO OVER. I must say, it always looked suspect to me, and the more “interesting”, the more suspect it was. A regular spikey top, mullet, or quiff, ok. But once it gets like Fruitbat, George Clinton’s crackpipe stage, Robert Smith’s current pissed gran-do, or weird shavings and colours … I’m not saying I didn’t have any of these, but the way of wisdom after 22 is a sensible barnet. An awful lot of weak music seems to be created when the dodgy rug is kidding you that you are an unrecognised genius with 3 chords and the truth aiming to wow the girls who listen to John Peel.
