Blasphemy! Heresy! No, seriously, this is just f'ing stupid.
almost thursday:
you actually raised some pretty interesting points there, man. but i still don't agree with the article because, there's no law of physics right now that prohibits people from writing songs. stuart murdoch can do whatever the hell he wants.
wigfried:
there's no law, but the practice seems to be frowned upon, both by indie fans and their cries of "sell-out!" and the big record labels, who, fearing for their pocketbooks, would never entrust their major moneymakers to the unproven hands of some well-to-do indie upstart songwriter.

That is all you need to have in order to know that this guy is a fucking tool and should be shot.

You're missing the point of the article entirely:
--- Quote ---But all of this revivalism sees the look and the sound of girl groups as an end in itself . . . Ideally the three vocalists in the Pipettes should be sifting through submissions from professional songwriters: Why not perform tracks written by Stuart Murdoch, Alex Kapranos, Justine Frischmann, Ted Leo, Adam Schlesinger, or whoever, to arbitrarily name a few? Throughout One Kiss the listener encounters the work of Brian Wilson, Jimmy Page, Carole King, Ellie Greenwich, and more.

What he's arguing for is not the homogenisation of popular music: he's arguing for a return to the idea (held for a very long time in popular music, certainly long before the arrival of girl-groups) of having professional song-writers, writing songs to be performed by professional singers. Of course, we already have these, writing songs for the likes of Britney Spears and Robbie Williams. DiCrescenzo is suggesting that this idea could be instilled in the world of indie music.

Whatever, who cares about indie myusi8? Ut's all a load of boring fucking shit anyway! All I know is, this shit will never infest fucking metal or fucking neo-folk, and if any band of either of those hires a song writer they are no linger of those genre so FUCK THEM. That's what I say. I don't care if some fucking cack pieces of fucking shit decide to get some stupid talentless balls-less fuck who would never dream of performing his own fucking songs in a thousand fuckjing years to write putrescent pieces of commercialised shit for them in a pathetic attempt to make as much money as pOssibble, which is almost opposed to genuine artistic ex[ression, so fuck that sideways with a banana. I don't care. Anyone who listens to that shit sucks fucking moon cock or something anyway, so fuck that, and, as a sideline, fuck you!
