Milburn - What Will You Do (When The Money Goes) [single]

I am sick to shit of arsewank like Milburn. Northern accent? Check! Pointless lyrics repeated over and over like some involuntary stutter? Check! Music that is, in the business, the equivalent of nails being dragged down a blackboard? Check! Completly void of originality, talent and effort? Check!

Someone needs to pull this current wave of Arctic Monkeys/Oasis fuck-children out of each others arses and introduce them to the world of music I’m used to. You know, the kind where there is someone who can sing in a way that’s not generically copied from ‘what works’, people who can play their own riffs/beats and don’t nick things from bands that are long past their heyday and preferably, (although I’m aware this just might be asking too much), someone who can write a soulful lyric.

What Will You Do (When The Money Goes)? is the kind of shit-filth that gets spewed from every major (for ‘major’ read ‘mediocre’) radio station all the damn day long until it all blends into one big pool of bile that you can’t, and don’t much care to, tell apart. If the money runs out, I’d survive on buttons and pints bought by mates until the end-of–the-month payday that comes from working an actual job. Something, perhaps, to look into? And no gentlemen, having ‘comedy’ altered photographs of yourselves on your MySpace is not funny, not cool, not edgy and should get you thrown out of the human race for being so completely average that it hurts me. Actually hurts.

Get off my planet.

I concur! Been hearing this shite in the background on the radio at work, and it actually makes me want to curse the whole process of evolution for resulting in humans having ears.

This review's about as accurate as you can get.
