1210.0. ""I'm rubbish, I'm worthless, kill me"" by SUBURB::ABSOLOMT (All hail super Hick) Wed Mar 02 1994 14:21

    
     Is this the fad for `94?? Are all `grooovvy' tracks going to about
    personal damnation?
    
     Following on from Radioheads `Creep', I've recently heard a record by
    Beck which basically says I'm a complete zero and waste of space, why
    don't you kill me.
    
     What's next? I'm a smelly, boring tosspot, cut me up into litle
    pieces?

    And I thought it couldn't get worse than Morrisey and the Smiths. It
    has.

    About 8 months ago, there was a program on BBC2. It basically said
    what type of music and it's image will be this year. They said that the
    'nerd' look will be in, with the lyrics about self hate. Well surprise
    surprise. Look what's creeping into the system.It's all completely 
    manufatured, and has no soul at all. It was dreamt up in a boardroom, so 
    that it makes the most amount of money by spending the least possible. 
    Does that put the image and the song in a different light now, because
    it sure did for me ?

This Beck character is a waste of space.  After all the hype, I was
less than impressed at the atonal performance on ToTP last week.

    Beck has been around for years, and has recorded quite a bit of stuff,
    I thnk he was a performance artist of some sort.  He certainly wasn't
    created in a boardroom somewhere.  As for the atonal performance, isn't
    that what its supposed to be?

    Can anyone confirm that Beck's backing group are in actual fact
    Pink Floyd??

re .6,

No, I've heard from a reliable source that they're the surviving members
of The Beatles and Led Zep  :)

    Apparently 'In Utero' contains a number of self-damning lyrics and 
    general unhappiness about everything...and well Kurt went and did it
    didn't he.

1210.9Never thought he didn'tJURA::MACFADYENlet's go!Tue Apr 12 1994 20:436
    Coincidentally, not, I've given 'In Utero' a listen in the past few
    days and the lyrics are indeed self-damning, cynical, weary etc. I
    suppose his death will now 'prove' that he meant all those things.
