DiSatisfaction

So long the staple for every post-ironic muso elitist, drownedinsound is being run as a 'takeover week' by blazer pop chart toppers the kaiser chiefs this week.

pointing out the irony of a band so obviously loathed by the masses who follow the site closely seems hardly worth mentioning - featuring a giant KCs logo atop the homepage then running their top feature on deerhunter just below it is purely ludicrous.

but then think back to those many years ago when you hadnt heard your dads retarded friend's son's six month old drunken child shouting ruby as he stumbled out of whetherspoons and you may remember DiS releasing the original version of 'Oh My God'

so maybe we're all just pretentious wankers for turning on every band who threaten to be heard by anyone who may by their cds in tesco.

i thought this for about 3 seconds before i read this amazing quote from a feature titled 'Ricky Wilson Loves... Radio'

"On Radio, you just go on, say what you want, and fuck off."

deep.
