Behind the Times
Duke: So, I was thinking about getting tickets to see Bloc Party at the Patriot Center on November 11, but then I discovered that they were opening for Panic! At the Disco. I don't think I like them very much, and I'm not sure I care about Bloc Party enough to fork over that kind of cash to see them play for 40 minutes.
Rocky: Doesn't matter. Nobody cares about Bloc Party anymore anyway.
Duke: What? Since when?
Rocky: Since they bagged their Black Cat show for the 9:30 Club last year. Well, more accurately, since they started that US tour two Springs ago and sold out a ton of gigs.
Duke: I didn't know that.
Rocky: Yeah, man. And you have to admit that Silent Alarm Remixed was kinda lame.
Duke: Geez. I didn't think it was remarkable, but I didn't think it was that bad either. Well, at least I have Tapes 'n Tapes to look forward to next week. That'll be a pretty good way to spend Halloween.
Rocky: Uh, Dude? We're not listening to them either.
Duke: We're not?
Rocky: No. Not for a few months now.
Duke: Why aren't we listening to them? I don't know if I ever understood all of the hype around them, but I still like most of their songs and I think The Loon is pretty good on the whole.
Rocky: No. Don't you read Pitchfork at all? Any music blogs? We're not allowed to like them anymore. They're overrated and the hype-machine got to their heads.
Duke: Says who?
Rocky: Says Pitchfork and music blogs.
Duke: Well, who are we allowed to listen to now? Lilly Allen?
Rocky: NO! God, you embarrass me sometimes. That Perez Hilton dude is into her. You might as well put on Fergie's new album and get it over with.
Duke: Well, this is just getting ridiculous. So, if I can't listen to Bloc Party, and I can't listen to Tapes 'n Tapes, then who can I listen to?
Rocky: Barry Manilow's new album that he's been peddling on QVC is pretty hot. And I hear Michael Crawford is coming out with a new disc of show tunes.
Rocky: Doesn't matter. Nobody cares about Bloc Party anymore anyway.
