Your Verdict: Quillford Essentials - Week Ten (+)

[Quillford]

We are reaching the end of our fight against the evils of the music world. I have threw out some of my shells and have certainly NOT done enough complaining. So I bring you a (+) bonus to our regularly not so scheduled blog post.

***I shall of course section this if you are in a rush an want to join the fight with a full throttle on the verdict***

First things first, who I hate in our industry at the moment. Adele Laurie Blue Adkins. Maybe I have voiced my opinion on her before but fluff it, I am going to do it again. Where as I can totally agree this mountainous depression troll has an actually good voice, the bint doesn't actually use that "voice" in a way I deem unique or pleasant in any sense of the term. Month after month I had to endure the ramblings of this drunken moomin as she polluted my soul with her junk. I found my self clawing at things every time I heard her wine "Someone like yhooooooOOOOOOooooo". Rolling in the deep? Deep fat fryer more like. Sod off. Don't get me wrong - there is something good in their - I just find it adds to that samey "I want to slice my wrists because my relationship failed... and I should diet" horse shit. Her albums 19, 21 with a follow up sure to be "Pregnant (and hating it)" - does this woman have a single happy song in her at all. Something that could make me respect her efforts in the industry a bit more and not getting sick of her "I'm brilliant and proud" attitude which she spews up like some sort of bulimic agony aunt. Usually I love a bit of attitude on artists, but she is one of the few where it makes me want to burn her records in a massive heap while singing AC/DC tunes till the sunlight. Don't get me wrong, if Adele came back after her pregnancy with something a little different, something a little more soul and less "There's a fire starting in my hearrrrrrrrrt" maybe something a bit more 'Electric' who says Soul and Ballads can't be jumpy. Bonnie Tyler didn't do too bad. To add to this she is rumoured to be the next singer for our James Bond film "Skyfall" which if she IS. I have some sort of sick high hope because if I don't i'm going to want to walk in their ten minutes late or some prozac.
Emile Sande, good god! This girl was something pretty awesome when I first saw her preforming with Professor Green. I mean the song was a bit well shit but I thought maybe just MAYBE this woman could do SOMETHING. Instead she throws out awful samey garbage. I CAN appreciate pop you know, when it is done right. This, it's something else. Not to mention the girl can't actually hold a note THAT well off the CD. She opened our Olympics with not one, not two but THREE songs. I was ready to throw a major wobbler. But let's not start on that fucking shambles. That rant is for another day. (Watch out for, 'The Olympics and the amount of Fucks that were given on that month')
Bieber - need I say more? ... "If I was your boyfriennnnd" "I would ram a fucking hack saw down your throat" I throw out ONE more. Just one as this could go on ALL night. P!nk. What the fuck happened, one day she's this dangerous artist who had some original stuff and took over our charts with some pretty good stuff. Heck she managed to score a few videos onto the music channels Kerrang AND Scuzz. But the last several years this woman has become a painful thorn in my ear drums. No word of a lie I can't tell a shitting difference between her last three albums. Greenday did the same... *wiggles finger*. I went to see P!nk back in my younger days of gigging and it wasn't that bad. Every fucking album has been this dancey autotunned mind blistering head ache. Look Alecia, fuck off for a few years - maybe forever - it's over, I can't bear to give you a second of my time anymore. Listening to you blend in to the normal banal fuckery is hard enough without you claiming your something different every time you step into a new record deal. Ugh. Anyway fortress, thoughts? I am curious to see if your agreement is a yey or ney.

***Let the ongoing fight commence***

Today I bring you American Alt Rock band The Creepshow, been listening to these guys for 3 yearsish now. I absolutely love them! The best way to describe these mothers is to imagine a horror film with a jazz soundtrack but rocked up to the max. Not convinced? I wasn't when I first heard about them but you know, gave it a listen and never looked back. They have a female vocal lead on 99 percent of their stuff and have now since changed singers. But it doesn't matter because the sound hasn't altered one bit. Not only that are these guys amazing people and even nicer to have a drink with. I got to see them for the first time only a couple of months ago but they were so into the crowd. They would join us while other members were doing solo's or their own songs and the new singer Kenda, she is so... Fun? Anyway. The music which is what's important here. Three studio albums under two different record labels. Their first album is weaker and probably should be attempted if you end up really getting into their music. The last two albums "They All Fall Down" & "Run For Your Life" are brilliant! Can't fault them. There just a great thing to stick onto to lift the mood and even have a little fun with if your getting drunk of your face. My iPhone has these babies on all the time. Without further ado I bring to you the pick of the week. Run for your life. I emplore you to check out more of their stuff.

See you next time for the tackle against society and it's deamons. *shakes fist* that means you COWELL, even if you were right about Britney's tits...

C'mon, are you really asking me to take that statement seriously? If you are going to hate on the likes of Adele it's probably wise not to espouse the likes of Pink and Avril Lavingne as the "dangerous" and "original" alternative. At least the sad lady can write a fucking song. Hell, she plays a significant number of her own instruments (bass, guitar, and piano) as well. That's already putting her out of the corporate pop tarts' league as an artist.

But hey, your pick is rockin' like a motherfucker. I can always go for something like that. Killer band.

[The Curmudgeon]

Oh, Quillguy. What ARE we going to do with you? Pink is about dangerous as Barney the fucking dinosaur, and with as much musical ability to boot. She's hot as all hell, granted, but there has never, nor will there ever be, anything remotely dangerous about Pink. When Linda Perry writes your songs you're not thinking "danger", you're thinking "I want to sell as many records as possible."

As for Adele, I'm not a fan of her music either, but your attack on her does hint at an interesting attitude towards women in the music biz. You made many references to her weight and her looks, which suggests that is STILL what women's success in the popular music industry are based on. I don't like any of her records, but I get why people do, and seriously, if we are to have a British female breaking all kinds of sales records, I'd rather it be a girl who wrote it and it actually fucking MEANT something rather than industry poseurs, sing anything if it pays well pop tarts like Rihanna or X Factor dickheads.

Plus, for the record, this is a recent picture of Adele;



If that's "fat", then fuuuuck.

As for your choice of song - yeah, not bad at all. I like the girls vocal way more than the guys. If the song had started with his singing I probably wouldn't have lasted the full song.

I'll admit it, I do like Adele. At least she sings from the heart, and her songs are, I think, well constructed. I can respect that if nothing else.
