Cambridge Student Paper: Cool Kids Can't Die


The Horrors: Cool Kids Can't Die

"Even now nobody has realised that to dismiss The Horrors as five haircuts in search of a sound was to miss the point. What fantastic haircuts! And now they've returned with the difficult second haircut and they've only got better."

I found this a while ago but lost it! I just thought it was a great overview of the transition to Primary Colours, and all the ridiculous epiphets that the journos have come out with about it...

This guy also interviewed Rhys back in the day, it's been posted before but it's well good:

That just goes to show how much I pay attention. In fact, I've still got loads of attention left in my wallet to prove it.

"coiffured anorexics flailing at effects pedals, organs and the psych-garage canon"

that part made me laugh, a lot. emoticon

'Five guys, four instruments and glamour. We all know how it's done, and yet, when The Horrors perform rock and roll, there's that old magic again.'

I love that.
Thanks for the links (:

^ i think it's a good article, though it comes across in a thesis-y style at some points. it's better than the NME could manage, that counts for something in journalism right?

To me it's an essay, and should be in something like a journal, not a newspaper.

Look at any "quality" journalism, even if it's highbrow and analytical, it draws the reader in. This just makes me want to read something else.

Re: Cambridge Student Paper: Cool Kids Can't Die


yes, definitely more of a 'journal' pice - are there music journals though? it reminds me of something that would be in the london review of books.
he has pretty much hit the nail on the head though in my opinion, though his prose style is rather like not being able to see the wood for the trees..
