So we might have a "long wait" ahead of us for this hipster-chic, folk flotsam to just die? Is that a threat???

Ha, "folk" -- there's a term even more absurdly vague than "hipster." I'd say most music draws some inspiration from "folk" tradition(s), so yeah, a long wait indeed. If you don't like what a band sounds like, why not just ignore it? This constant complaining about matters of taste isn't exactly music to anyone's ears. Oh no, there's something on the internet that I don't like -- it must be on there just because it's trendy!

I think Snagglepuss was being facetious. I hope so anyway. The word "trendy" is an even bigger joke than "folk". Precisely who believes something is trendy, and why should anyone care really?

Would DamosA prefer that the Mercury give more coverage to European hate-metal, the stuff that is played by every white supremacist ethnic-nationalist immigrant-basher from Lisbon to Athens?

That DOES sound like DamosA's groove, come to think of it.

Why is there not ONE good mariachi band here? Enough of these emo bearded hipster dorks from NY and their rehashed eighties music!

1. There are some good mariachi bands here.
2. What the fuck have YOU done?
3. You do raise a good point, which is HOW DARE THERE BE BANDS IN THIS CITY THAT I DON'T LIKE!!!ONE!!

Well clearly you've got me FUCKED UP many times over and you soo obviously don't know what you're talking about, MORON! Could you mention said "European Hate-Metal" bands and confirm whether ANY such bands are playing at the music fest towhich the link was regarding? (waits patiently...)

Obviously, none are playing at the festival. But they are prominent all over Europe. A bass player for one of them just got elected to the Greek Parliament on the "Golden Dawn"(Greek Nazi) ticket:

And really, DamosA, what are you complaining about? You hate poor people, POC, you're not particularly sympathetic to LGBT people, I'd hate like hell to hear you talk about women for any great length...why shouldn't we all consider you a hate-and-fear based right-wing extremist?

It's seriously unlikely that you could like any music that was inclusive and positive.

I'm pretty sure you've got plenty of Rammstein on your mp3.

"I'm pretty sure you've got plenty of Rammstein on your mp3."


Surely, you're joking. I'm guessing you're some random dork who knows NOTHING of the bands you claim to speak of! OBVIOUSLY, you don't know jack shit about ME!

Oh and btw nerd, the little link above that you most likely found only after an entire night's worth of google searching, is just regarding some band i personally know nothing about. So i'm not into 'em. In fact, i'm not into any Greek bands, in particular. So you sorry-ass attempt at trying to "prove a point" FAILED.

Please wait...
