Marilyn Monroe Shower C

This is what you get: shit without criticism and criticism of shit

The October issue (and the 253) of the journal Route 66 is very good. As always spoken in most groups known only to them and they are driven too much by the frikisimo and gafaspastismo (unfortunate self-proclaimed "paper" Alcohol and Rock on "the inescapable sound-private partnership" ... so there to read God's sake ...). But, in addition come several reviews and reviews two articles are interesting insights. One is Jaime Gonzalo and the other Andrés Calamaro.

Jaime Gonzalo, the director, wrote an editorial sharp, accurate and fucking written. Among other things says
"In recent decades, the credibility Rock is based in part thanks to the proliferation of experts copyists, regurgitation professionals, masters of cut and paste that accumulates after a numbing lack of ideas but not original and fresh. also thanks to a tool that has become indispensable in contemporary criticism: the overvaluation . From Nirvana and Sonic Youth, to Anthony and the Johnsons and Wilco (...) to Tom Waits and Joy Division; in the background I'm sure we've all journalistically promoted any of these names, we are sure that we exaggerate. We know that there is no big deal, but we also know that there is something else. "

Luckily finally someone says. Took years to Wilco's cock, trying to listen to more readily found nothing brilliant joke compared to giving them. And now? Does that has given musical citrus The War on Drugs, Marah and The Hold Steady? Anyone that believes there has heard for so long? Why the effort to put 5 stars to this happiness? Do not we realize that we are encouraging that if you encourage conformity and conformism promote vulgarity, mediocrity, drought and regurgitation? Because, and let what we want, if you think that Perez, in what is evil, evil comes to girls approaching 15 years The Beatles, the Kinks or Tequila, say that. But do not say that laziness are great because you're lying.
And if you think that M-Clan and Bunbury have released a new album brave but uneven writing that: do not say that the last record of M-Clan or Bunbury are great because it is simply a lie.
More examples: The last album Loquillo (Balmoral) is more than worthy, but NO, it is fucking great. The Jose Ignacio Lapido (Mapping) is interesting. The Deluxe has something good ... But who dares to say they are excellent, wonderful, the not-going-over is because he has not heard really good music in your fucking life.

Andrés Calamaro For its part, the opposite writes Jaime Gonzalo. I quote, again without permission, " course is thinner and sharper, the stiletto deluxe criticism Taliban specialist. And his hosts, who live in the shadow of imported models and looking side to that, well, we earn a living by singing. "
I agree to go straight against is of RockdeLux, gafaspastismo Taliban where they are. But to say that a musician whose latest album, passing just past, has been rated outstanding and almost half of that with the former ("The palace of flowers") may have been one of the worst albums of the last ten years leaves no its funny.

English musical criticism has long been satisfied with what you get. And that has meant that there could not be otherwise. And Loquillo disks, or Quique González Lapido not only be the least bad of the year, but are the best that this step can be done in this country until the paternalistic attitude change, conforming and funky music critics.
