oneirophreniaThe more I listen to certified emo acts like Dashboard Confessional and Bright Eyes and unofficial, emo-esque bands like HIM, the more I realize: emo is the new goth. I mean...it's emotionally overwrought, highly tragick (with a K!) at times, and completely and utterly impossible to take seriously...just like all good gothic fiction should be!
I have also realized something today, while listening to this $1 electroclash comp that I picked up at the Record Exchange the other day: I fucking HATE Miss Kittin and I seriously wish somebody would shove a filthy, sweaty, scabid sock in her fucking mouth to shut her the hell up already. What the hell does the world see in her? WHY must she be everywhere associated with "electroclash," a genre which is, every day, coming to resemble more and more shitty rave techno made with vintage synths instead of Acid and Rebirth? The thing is...when she actually sings, she has a really pretty voice--not on the same level as Allison Goldfrapp or Imogen Heap from Frou-Frou, by any means, but take the song "Rippin Kittin" for instance: totally bad-assed, beautiful track about psychotic murder on which she sounds like a crazy little girl begging Mommy for a butcher knife. But, for the most part, anytime I hear her she's just rambling pointlessly about dumb shit over really, really awful techno beats. Ugh. Fuck that noise.
