More Terrible Music! The Burnside Project!

I am way too nice of a reviewer. People who consider themselves artists are very often full of excrement. It is very rare that artists in our time can capture my attention. Well, a lot of what has passed for artistic expression in our modern cosmopolitan culture is much like the video by this video by the wretched 2000’s band Burnside Project. Essentially just because the American Apparel clothing company decided to back publications like Vice and The Onion, this is the mode of artistic expression that took centermost stage during that decade. Like it? Take a good long look, because if the hipster press has it’s way, this is what would define our cultural future for decades.
Scary stuff.
There was never in my mind any reason to give this garbage press. I’ll tell you what it is, it’s sanitized pop music marketed as somehow being a thinking person’s music. I would like to see the explanation for how that works.
It could be pointed out that this video is four years old or so, but there are still countless bands like it that get far too much press in so far as giving any bands like this any press would constitute too much press.
In more assuring news, the Lou Reed with Metallica album has been giving a date of release Nov. 1st this year for North America. Needless to say, it is expected to rock harder then Burnside Project, and embarrass the hell out of them if they’re even cool enough to know about it considering how old Metallica and Lou Reed are.
