Guardian music section: FAIL

January 8, 2009  |  By Sotek  |  2 Comments

I'm not sure if you guys already noticed, but the music blog/section over at the Guardian gets more stupid each and every day. So, this is what you'll get if you ever write an article without researching it first:

Keyboards will always sound like the shock of the new, mainly because the future suggested through electronic music never came. Synth pioneers from Kraftwerk to Gary Numan surged through the 1970s and 80s on an optimistic wave of silver suits only to be buried under an avalanche of retro-guitars and the revivalist ironies of today's electro-twerps. Try looking at it this way: How different is the Mighty Boosh's Future Sailors to the genuine Trash Fashion. Some commentators claim that the 80s was the last time pop music looked forward before being splintered into a million post-modern fragments. Is this really true? Or did the futurists change tack?

How could they left out names such as Giorgio Moroder or Tangerine Dream? And Gary Numan? Come on! Just go ahead and read the entire article. You'll probably laugh. Or maybe cry. Whatever.
