Conversation with Matthew Strasser Concerning Helsinki
BH3H: hey duder
Sevet13: hey man
BH3H: whats up
BH3H: i posted a new thing
BH3H: i think youll dig one of the songs up for d/l
Sevet13: yeah the songs right?
BH3H: yeah
Sevet13: i was pretty pumped about the beck and elliott smith songs cuz i haven't heard them before
Sevet13: the i'm from barcelona one isn't bad
Sevet13: i don't know if i can get into them though
BH3H: its a little ridic
BH3H: but i like it its agood pop song
Sevet13: i just feel like they're trying to exploit the "indie/emo/nerd" look thing that's getting oh so popular
Sevet13: and they aren't even trying
Sevet13: they just have to make something slightly goofy
Sevet13: it's like the samething as architecture in helsinki
Sevet13: just crazy weird pop
BH3H: i like AIH
Sevet13: that's good because it's supposed to be good
Sevet13: they're all right
Sevet13: but you're missing the point
Sevet13: i wasn't making fun of them or saying i didn't like them
Sevet13: let's face it... .they're big because they're in a scene that will boost a band up just because they sound a little weird and they want weird
BH3H: i can see that
Sevet13: people want anything that they can look at and relate to
Sevet13: and everyone WANTS to be able to relate to weird/nerd
Sevet13: because that's what the style is at this point
Sevet13: that's what it's cool to be
Sevet13: because folks think that those are the smart interesting people now
Sevet13: and that's why everything's become so exclusive... because they make it seem like those are the ONLY smart, interesting peeps
Pretty good argument. Your thoughts?
