Dickon Annoyed By Lazy Music Hack, Shock [Jan. 31st, 2004|01:01 am]

From the Guardian review of the Franz Ferdinand album:

"... 'Michael' appears to be a love song aimed squarely at a man. This really shouldn't seem like a brave move in 2004, but it does. Morrissey and the Magnetic Fields aside, indie doesn't really do gay."

The Guardian, however, does do ill-informed, myopic generalisations like this. I'm still appalled that The Hidden Cameras' album was omitted from many Best Albums Of 2003 lists in the press

Becuse Hidden Cameras suck (no pun intended ) I tried, I really tried to listen to their album but the music is just unbearable.
