Damien Rice

<<< Previous Entry: Dance, dance, everybody dance | This Month's entries | Next Entry: So Alive >>

I've just finished listening to that Damien Rice album ( O ) and while he's good, he's no Tom McRae. Why do the media always pick up on a slightly worse artist who comes out a few years after the superior one? That sentence makes very little sense, but I can't think of any way of re-wording it better; I'll just give examples in the hope that that will explain it. Nirvana admit to being a cheap imitation of The Pixies, but Nirvana get all the press. And that's the only example that springs to mind, but I'm sure others will follow. Probably.

I got that Damien Rice album for Christmas. I thought he was ok, but the album is soooo annoying!

Evidently not? Walleys blog brings the true stupidity of that comment to light.

Nirvana themselves said they just ripped off The Pixies. The Pixies rule!

I thought it was ace when it turned out Tom McCrae was lying about his name and his age. 'Just Like Blood' is good but it requires more listens to see it's genius tthan 'O'
