Art Rock v Dad Rock


While Liam Gallagher hitting out is hardly news, the responses can sometimes be good. After comparing Franz Ferdinand to Right Said Fred, FF lead singer Alex Kapranos had this to say...
"Every contemporary band was at the end of some form of vitriol from him. I'm
not particularly bothered by him, it just seems like bitchery from cheap
neurosis."
Contemporary? Vitriol? Neurosis? Dear me, Alex, if you're going to slag Liam off at least use words the guy will understand. But perhaps better is the analogy that Kapranos used on Liam and his distaste for his rivals.
"When I read the press that surrounded them earlier in 2005, it sounded like an extremely anxious, neurotic young girl at a high school who though that she had a younger, better looking competition and was just bitching about everything about her."


Better looking girl? Must be that lovely eyeliner.
