This is tired old stuff. Indicative of the complete lack of ideas in aussie music today

Pogotogo (if that is your real name), are you completely void of musical knowledge? Do you not understand what deliciously gorgeous fairytale-style music this is? I feel for your friends who have to listen to you down play anything of substance!

I don’t think it’s sweet. I just think it’s really contrived stuff from a bunch of kids who only listen to JJJ and only hear one style of music. That’s all they can do. JJJ has a lot to answer for, they’re stuck in the early 90’s and they really need to move on.

And I respect that Sarah B. I don’t believe I’ve made wide generalisations about anything. I’ve put forward an opinion about JJJ and Little Scout. However, I do believe JJJ have a disproportionate focus on a particular type of band (indie) and I believe that this favouritism damages our local music industry. When a band that’s only been around for five months; and let’s face it, isn’t particularly original (my opinion); gets airplay over other bands from other genres simply because they fit a particular sound and image it must discourage other bands both commercially and creatively. Some bands out there would probably think if they modified their image and sound it would be much easier to make a living in the music business and the sad thing is that they’re right. The intellectuals at JJJ are doing just as damage to Aussie music as Triple M or any other pop radio station because of the focus on ‘indie’ music. Christ, I’ve been to high school band comps that’ve had more technically accomplished musicians than most of these so-called ‘musos’ in indie bands. While I acknowledge that the quality of Little Scout’s song writing is only a matter of taste, I firmly believe that I could find a large number of female folk singing musos who could easily fill any gap left by Little Scout. They’re trodding a well worn path and, because of JJJ’s bias, many more will continue on it long after they’ve been chewed up and spat out by JJJ.
