Hmmm...The non-Bob Dylan of our times rattles his mockney chimes to the tune of anti-hits 'Don't Panic! I'm Only Islamic' and 'Who Broke Susan Boyle?' We shouldn't be so harsh, but we're going to be. While there's nothing wrong with social commentary accessing a nation's discontent, say, towards a media warped figure-head, there IS something wrong with doing it badly. And in turn, becoming the mirror image they're wanting to deflect. These songs are both annoying and catchy, or else, annoyingly catchy, like a hunk of stinking shark hooked and kicking on the end of a media mogul's fishing line, the one they've been dangling for that fashionably political scoop of the month. It's not Milk Kan's fault, but rather the cheap and nasty corners of the world that lie in wait for sweaty students with guitars and the crazy idea to start a band. Now we've done with bitching, we have something good to say. Kan's Dylan-like guitar melody is strong and wasted on their outfit and lyrics like 'Who Broke Susan Boyle?' Popular amongst their own kind, we're sure. Shudder.

It's far too good for you...
ReplyDeleteI think you should stick to listening to Sugababes and Tinchy Stryder and Dizzee Rascal or some hyped dreadful "indie" band like Bloc Party because you obviously don't appreciate good music.
