2010 in Music
TheFuriousWombat:
yeah Gaga is Madonna only twenty years too late to actually be innovative or special

Mainstream pop music? Honestly, I tend to avoid the stuff precisely because there isn't anything more interesting than Gaga. I suppose we could mention MIA or Kanye, but I'd have to say for the most part it's unexciting stuff. This isn't just alt-rock snobbery, though--comparing this decade to previous ones, there just hasn't been a lot happening. There haven't been new genres gaining relevance, and new sounds have been largely derivative; the two biggest sounds, pop-country and hip-hop, have been in creative decline for some time. Arguing Gaga is the best thing happening isn't saying much in a situation so bereft of excitement.
KvP:
Lady Gaga is not Madonna. If Grace Jones is Little Richard, Gaga is Pat Boone. I don't know why this is not obvious.
SWOON! at My Gravitas:
I've been listening a bit to the debut album by a retro doom band called Ghost, Opus Eponymous. Remember on old Scooby Doo cartoons when the gang would be all looking for clues, and then they'd run into the monster that was really an old guy in a rubber mask, and it would chase them around while music played in the background? Ghost sound like that music, except they are all about Satan. Anyway, the album comes at the recommendation of Fenriz of Darkthrone, so you can trust it to be pretty rockin'.
And if this riff does not cause you to bang your head, you are probably wearing a neck brace
David_Dovey:
I've heard this band mentioned three times in three different locations today. This is obviously a sign. (helps that they're pretty funky)
