================================================ Subject: more From: "Marc Levitt" To: Date: Sun 4 Nov 2001 12:32:47 -0500 ================================================ The strokes are form the states, but they've been on bristish and german radio for almost a year now (without even the release of the album)...probably won't make it here. the only kind of station they'd get on would be modern rock, and they haven't established enough credibility to get their avant garde stuff on air. we'll see, but i doubt sincerely that a strokes' single will make it. as for the bands who went back underground, that was partially a function of intent on their part and partly a function of radio shifting away from them. they were like, "fuck it, we want to make good music. we don't care if radio won't play it, we've got more important things to worry about." (pearl jam is the best example of this. though they are far from underground, their music has left the radio-radar) yes, someone has to look for them to find them, but i am inclined to think that it's made music more interesting and multi-layered with everything that's going on. I have a confession to make, since this e-mail group has actually started to pique my interest. The first e-mail I wrote, the one where i mercilessly bashed creed, i wrote it at 2 am wednesday, after coming back from the bar completely smashed. i didn't even remember writing it until i got like 50 angry e-mails in the morning. i guess i had just heard a bad song, and my seething hatred for creed took over. then, i was amused that i was able to get such a venomous reaction from people regarding, of all bands, Creed. the game has been fun. one person suggested that i might be a psychology student doing a thesis. no such luck, just a drunk motherfucker who likes good music. i gotta say, it creeped me the fuck out when someone went on the brown website to look up my personal info. please don't stalk me because i hate creed.
