Death by daytime radio

I wrote this about 3 to 4 months ago but never got round to publishing it. Better late than never eh?.

It is fucking annoying how many bands have had their music ruined by overexposure in the last couple of years. The Killers, Kaiser Chiefs, We are Scientists, Editors, Kasabian, Razorlight, Alkaline Trio, Maximo Park, Nine Black Alps, My Chemical Romance, Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party, Jack Johnson, José González, Royksopp, The Bravery, The Departure, The Futureheads, The Subways etc etc etc… the list is endless…

Currently being kicked to death by bandwagon daytime DJs are Sigur Ros, The Kooks, The Raconteurs, Boy Kill Boy, Wolfmother, The Automatic etc etc

Who’s next up for the chop? I reckon the following:

  1. Milburn
  2. The Fratellis
  3. Forward Russia!
  4. Plan B
  5. Blackbud
  6. Guillemots
  7. The Sunshine Underground
  8. Battle
  9. Hot Chip
  10. Yeti
  11. The Rakes

I’ll be bookmarking this post to use as a told-ya-so in months to come.
