I don't know about you, but I actually sort of find that "kiddiness" about Q
to be sort of helpful. For instance, I doubt that I've ever heard a single
note played by So Solid Crew, but it was a side of British music I was
previously unaware even existed.
If all you did was read Mojo and the NME, you'd think English music was
still dominated by the bastard offspring of the C86 bands. It's nice to know
that other stuff is out there -- even if it's not something that rocks my
boat especially.
Speaking of which, "Where Is the Love," by the Black Eyed Peas is rapidly
becoming my mainstream pop single of the summer. Anyone else as addicted to
this tune as I am?
For the record, Blender is an unreadable mess. :)
