“I decided rock music was over in about 1983. Which is odd, since that’s the year classic-format rock music “came back” (U2′s chiming chords obliterated the New Romantics with their synths, the Human League made a record about Lebanon with guitars in it, Eno ditched ambient to become a rock producer).
But I was right. Basic-format rock music has been “coming back” since then at regular intervals (The Strokes, The White Stripes, Lightning Bolt). That doesn’t mean it isn’t over. It just means it’s stubborn. People playing guitars, and other people thinking that’s incredibly important, is over.”
Momus, en su opera de clicks. Lo mismo que los blogs (los musicales, lo españoles): puede que estén muertos, como insisten bastantes por ahí. Pues vale: mantengamos la testarudez. Gente escribiendo posts y otra gente creyendo que es algo importante; eso puede haberse acabado. Volvamos a la realidad y disfrutemos de nuestra falta de trascendencia. Además, como dice el propio Momus, live concerts aren’t over.
