While our British summer collapses under the weight of blanket rainclouds, I just thought I'd ward you off from this band....
I'm just gonna quote this piece of eloquent put down by yours truly - to be seen in it's entirety in the current Artrocker issue in my part of the Latitude review - about a band and I'd like you to take it on board.
"Joe Lean and his (sigh) Jing Jang Jongs are a terribly mediocre but (apparently) stylish outfit. Joe Lean is one of the weakest frontmen this correspondent has ever seen. To hear that they have been signed to a major is, frankly, worthy of a riot. Which this lot aren't."
Now, if you choose to, go see what the NME wrote in last week's issue and dismiss it entirely. The rot MUST stop here. I am sick, sick, sick of untalented men dressed like The Strokes (or how they think The Strokes might dress in 2007) making music that was boring when it was popular first-time round. I could rant about so many bands, but this one we can stop early. We can cut them off at the pass. How? By never, ever, mentioning them again...unless you use my quote, in which case, go nuts.
More vitriol to come. Please brace yourselves, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
Also, for those of you I mentioned a blog entry called Thurston Moore Is My Dad to, well it's been put on hold til I make it better. It deserves to be better. ALSO, aswell as my band ranting and occasional reviews here I have another project taking shape very slowly. It's gonna be fun though.
Finally, read Artrocker (Underage Artrocker coming this Saturday with the usual standard one!), Notion (fine work this month lads and ladies, specifically Rene and Lucy), Rock Sound (100 this month!!), www.subba-cultcha.com (look out for Minus The Bear and Liars features) and Playmusic PICKUP, for my stuff. But don't read Tuned. That shit is awful (just look at their current cover, seriously).
