My tomorrow night has just been booked:

britticisms:

So after the disastrously overcrowded scene that was the She & Him concert at Millennium Park, I came home and immediately began watching the above documentary on Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love. The documentary is only available for the next week at Pitchfork.tv. 

When it comes to Kate, I’m always patient with new listeners. They’ll get it. I’ve never met anyone who has not “gotten it” after a little bit of time. 

I have to disagree, however - I have met plenty of people who haven’t understood Kate Bush, or who haven’t had the patience to listen to anything more than “Running Up that Hill”. That said, anybody who can listen to the second side of Hounds of Love once, and want to listen to it again, is aces in my book.

Attitude and Style? Check.

Is it still (or was it ever) punk?

American Idiot on Broadway

(It sure looks like the Gilman Street in my head when I was in high school listening to Dookie and my already aging Mr. T Experience records)

Random thought: Some bands create far better graphic design/style/photos than they do music. And vice versa, other bands make superb sounds, but have such terrible overall aesthetic. Is it rhetorical to ask which is worse?

But…

Fashion music (visual aesthetics over sound) made today can be crap next week, but mind-altering to the kid who rediscovers it 10 years later. Case in point: discovering Spandau Ballet’s ‘Gold’ at 15 in 1993 while stuck in one of the fashion musics of that time, ‘grunge’.

To ask this question is to ask what makes pop music Pop, and is it less authentic because of the image surrounding it? Or rather, is authenticity something to be valued in the first place?
