Virb is “a one-stop cool people shopping network”. Uh, yeah, whatever (though I may get myself a virb page if I can be arsed).

Anyhow, New Young Pony Club sound pretty cool to me. Official website here.

Calm down dearest

The incomparable Jamie-T

Dad-rock

I seem to have reached that stage where everybody else who’s making or listening to modern music is younger than me.

In itself that’s not too worrying as my time for day-glo trainers and annoying haircuts is long gone, but what is worrying is that I’m now genuinely into folksy type stuff like Aqualung or Cherry Ghost. If it goes on like this I’m likely to end up thinking Coldplay are actually alright and if that happens I could, possibly, end up revising my views on the collected works of Queen and Genesis as my musical tastes ‘mature’.

This must be what the end feels like…rocking back and forth in a chair, drool hanging from your mouth and no real control over bowel movements, while an ipod that plays nothing but dad-rock is strapped to your head.
