Re: (TV) Counterbalance: "Marquee Moon"



"Drop buzz words like proto-punk, art house rock, or New Wave?"

Dear lord.
These people don't know the difference between words and terms!

"There is a
sub category of indie rock where the lines between rock and
dance/electronica start to blur. Yes, itbs got guitars, but it also has a
very 
regimented, repetitive beat. Go back and listen to bSee No Evilb
and youbll 
hear exactly that. Itbs a high tempo, 140 BPM proto-dance
rock number. Strip 
away the guitar flourishes and substitute some synth,
voila, more dance than 
rock. I think it has a lot to do with Ficcabs
drumming. Itbs lock-step and itbs 
in the way he rides the high hat. I
swear, itbs in there. bFrictionb is a bit 
slower and has more groove
but  you get the same thing."

Jeebus this is completely ridiculous.
Proto-dance rock number? 

Yes it's definitely more dance than rock.
Especially the bit with the guitars 
and the proper musicians. And the big
guitar solo. And the real drums. And four 
skinny guys from New York who
played at CBGB's in the 70's.

(I need some sleep. I'm grouchy.)
