    If he isn't burying him was a serious fortunate mistake.

    Still heaps of great music being made - too much to listen to. You're just lazy as **** and aren't looking outside the FM bandwith.

    Aye, all the cool bands are in longwave form

    I was at Paulo Nutini last night in Killarney. Whatever ye think of his music, tis a rare thing these days to have an artist who can properly sing live.

    Well done you. From reading what you have said, it's glaringly obvious that you have listened to all of those bands. It's fascinating that you 'have a hard time telling them apart'. I'm sure you do.

    No you don't. I'm quite confident when I say you haven't a bulls notion about any of them. So yeah, get schooled before you start trolling.

    How so?

    I have listened to them and they all suck and sound the same. And of course when they emerged they were all the 'best band ever' for all of 2 weeks according to music journalists who are now obsessed with being the first to 'discover' a new band regardless of quality.

    Yeah, I think that "you suck at finding music" post pretty much sums it up. If you haven't bothered your arse actually listening to new music, you don't get to whine that you can't find any you like. Music didn't get sh*te, you did.

    You fairly obviously don't, or you'd know why comparing Bon Iver to LCD Soundsystem doesn't work at all.

    As for the Pitchfork thing, that's a laaaaaaazy answer. Actual hipsters abandoned Pitckfork ages ago, the second anybody else heard of it. In the meantime, so long as you ignore the fairly meaningless scoring system, it's actually a pretty good resource for keeping tabs on up and coming bands.

    If you still don't want to slum it with the rest of us, there are plenty of other blogs out there - plenty of Irish ones, too - doing a fine job of making great music a) visible and b) available. There is more great music within your fingertips' reach than there's ever been at any time in history, and there's no excuse for bemoaning a lack of it.

    The trick is finding a place to start.

    (One of those places might be with The National's High Violet, incidentally.)

    Garage rock sounds like electronica sounds like folk?

    I don't like all the bands that were listed but you're bluffing, and bluffing badly.

    Incidentally, did the OP mean 1999, or does he just have a particular beef with 2010?

    With sterile rants like these the year is generally arbitrary. Pick an era an bemoan how music been on the wane since in ended, whether it be the break-up of The Beatles, the death of Kurt Cobain, or anything you fancy really.

    Hmm. People feeling a little alienated by modern pop culture and nostalgic for times music past, and perhaps realising that actually, they might just a little too old to run with the kids anymore.

    Oh, if only there were a band/song from the last ten years that covered this precise predicament!

    AHAHAHAHAHA :D

    That is ****ing priceless.

    "Oh my, you're so adventurous and cool with all these trendy bands that no one knows on your iPod. Can i be in your cool-kid gang? Is it safe? I hope not"

    If this is the attitude you have to the music that you and others listen to then you're just listening to some stuff to be different for the sake of being different.

    Nope. That's not what he said. You're having a phantom argument because you can't answer the one that's been put to you.

    Suggesting that all music (every genre/style) suddenly got bad in the last two years is a lazy and defeatist opinion, there's no substance in that argument.

    Can I ask you what you feel was good about x genre/band/label/scene pre-2009 that is longer present?

    Please give us a nudge in the right direction, then.

    I feel I need to move away from skinny-jeans-wearing indie-rock bands like LCD Soundsystem and Fleet Foxes.

    That's utter tripe, and you're seriously suggesting that's reason to ignore underground/experimental bands. It's up to the person who owns the ears listening to the music, whether they've found it on FM104 or Pitchfork, they'll like it or they won't on its own terms.
