Hey, the only way rock ‘n’ roll will ever die is when you have to earn a degree in it to play it. 🙂 ---

The White Stripes _De Stijl_ is pretty damn’ good it’s the first new album I’ve wanted to dance to in a long time. I’m not quite as impressed with _White Blood Cells._ However The Hives? Naah. There’s really no range in their style. I was listening to _Veni, Vidi Vicious_ today, and could hardly care to notice which track the disc was on. There’s one gratuitous ‘sixties pop’ track, which some producer probably talked them into cutting just to fabricate the appearance of some depth in their album. Crap, I had a point, and now I can’t remember what it was. Oh yeah, there’s some pretty crap stuff out there right now, and I’ll take “Fell in Love with a Girl” over that freakin’ “I’m six feet from the edge and I’m thinking six feet ain’t so far down” any day. Stapp sounds like he could really use some Immodium. ---

The Strokes – Meh. One good song. The White Stripes – Meh, one good song. The Vines – No good songs The Hives – Would cut off my own foot to escape hearing them. ---
