For those of you who don't know Nicole Atkins, you should. She's what would've happened if Lee Hazlewood was writing songs for Mama Cass. Here is her video and it's gorgeous.
Kids may enjoy Nirvana now but they are obsolete in societal terms. Punk's no longer the self-sustaining underground entity it used to be because, imo, kids don't need it anymore. Or many our generation just sucks rhino cock. I'm still deciding. Anyway, I think these days kids are more into the music rather than the message so guys can't get away with poorly produced punk shit anymore, no matter how much passion they have.
Btw, what happened to MCR being "the next Nirvana"? (I think a lot of kids didn't relate to that, as a result of your points on limited exposure to Nirvana, etc.)
You know what would actually be really awesome? A band that didn't blog at all. In fact, a band that didn't use the internet at all. No myspace/Facebook, no band website, no internet self-promotion at all. It would actually be really refreshing in an era where every band spends more time expanding their web presence than practicing music or writing songs.
Ooh! I have tickets to see Nicole Atkins next month! I wasn't even interested in seeing her at all, I'm going because Gliss is in the lineup and I wanted to see them. I guess I'll be paying closer attention to Atkins now. Thx Sarah.
Hey Sarah, it's Jason, the segment producer of the Fuse Nirvana episode. Discovered your blog the other day when researching the experts featured in my show so far. Still no one can tell me who "the next Nirvana" is, and if they do come along I doubt they'll show up on Top 40. Maybe it's only in retrospect that these things become clear.
ps I like the hipster Made spoof. I used to work on that show, and I have to say it was pretty accurate.

Atkins is a talentless whore.
Really effective data, thank you for the article.
