A short avant-garde piece.

While working on his album ‘all the chords from A to G’ Josh Sarphie discovered something amazing. ‘G’. What this piece does is explore ‘G’ and what it has to offer us. Clearly inspired by avant-garde, art pop and ‘indie’ outfits and written during the 90’s indie movement, ‘G in the key of G’ is a breathtaking and emotional piece that spans the genres from electronica and dubstep to reggae and ska to art-pop-funk and apocalyptic folk.

Watch out for Josh’s upcoming album ‘The History of Spunk’ which will be released on cassette outside Tesco’s next Friday.

What's a tumblr?: Bastille

I fucking hate them. They’re bad pop music. Coldplay are fuck loads better. There’s no emotion stirred by that music except perhaps:

‘Wow, that’s a bit catchy isn’t it? Have an award’

And people actually think they’re indie. People think they’re being alternative by liking them…

You should probably crawl in a hole and stay there forever… It’s cool to have an opinion but say you don’t care for them, not that you hate them. You haven’t met them so you have no right to judge them really. And i’d like to know how you think their music is bad if their album hit #1?

Nice one, bro!


I’m not judging their personality. I don’t give a fucking fuck about their personalities.

My whole point is that I don’t personally like their music, and while of course me not liking their music doesn’t give me a right to tell others not to, the thing that annoys me is people liking them for the wrong reasons. Many people like them, I assure you, because they think it’s cool or indie. Popular music is all about image these days. People who like completely awful, different music (and Bastille aren’t, in my opinion, awful - just bad) say they like Bastille as well due to freaking image and presentation!

And seriously, saying music is clearly good if it’s popular and reaching top chart positions is fucked up. So much more brilliant music has been created. Some of the best music I’ve ever listened to has never been near a chart let alone top it! One Direction top charts. New Kids on the Block topped charts. Bastille is still a lot better than that fucking manufactured consumerist shit… being top of a chart means nothing at all! It doesn’t make me think less or more of a band (The Smiths were often on the charts and they’re one of my favourites).

Bastille is still music. I know it’s music. Harsh noise is freaking music. But that doesn’t mean I have to like the music.

I wasn’t saying you can’t like them. I was saying I don’t and presenting my reasons.

Eyy don't hate on Bastille, I agree Coldplay could never compare they are amazing but don't go comparing them to Bastille cause we all know Coldplay win against almost every other band! You can have your opinion but don't go saying that their fans only like the band cause of Dans hair?! Don't generalize or assume we are all hipsters and shit! Ive been following them before they were even known so dont just assume everyones jumped on the bandwagon just cause they are known now! (Just my view)

I like this. That’s nice.

I’m not trying to offend you based on your music taste or anything. Bastille are better than a lot of shit I just don’t personally like them.

Hipsters are cool, I’m basically a hipster, my point is just that I think a lot of people who know fuck all about music think they’re being indie and cool by liking Bastille. You seem to know about music and so you don’t really apply to that group of people I guess.

A lot of my friends recently went to a Bastille gig in my area and it just annoys me that they think they’re being really different and alternative when Bastille are in my opinion not that great and really poppy.

But I do love Coldplay.

Bastille

I fucking hate them. They’re bad pop music. Coldplay are fuck loads better. There’s no emotion stirred by that music except perhaps:

‘Wow, that’s a bit catchy isn’t it? Have an award’

And people actually think they’re indie. People think they’re being alternative by liking them but they’re not! Bastille are fucking shit!

People post on facebook about them. Those people also like Rhianna and fucking shit like that…

AND they’re supposed to be an outfit for this singer/songwriter guy but remember what else is supposed to be like that? Oh yeah. Neutral Milk Hotel - a completely original and stirring and moving and emotive band. Bastille are fucking awful compared to them.

He doesn’t even write original music! He writes pop music that people orgasm over because ‘oh look at his hair style now I like his music’

But how can you dislike pop music Josh? Aren’t you yourself a big fan of The Smiths who many considered to be pop music?

Well yes but there’s a difference. The Smiths are an emotional and creative band. They were completely different to anything else that has ever been produced. They were fucking brilliant. And anyway I consider them semi-pop semi-alternative-rock so nahhh…

So dear people:

Fuck off and stop talking about fucking Bastille or I’m going to cut you.

Thanks,
Josh
