Interesting article in the London Times about the hyping of new artists. When they got to the end and they name five hyped bands that flopped, I read four and started chanting almost, like I was betting on black 29 in roulette, "Gay Dad, Gay Dad, Gay Dad..." And you know what? I won big. I remember when they came out and everyone was saying they were the next shit, and I was trying to explain to a friend how I might get the album: "Oh, I've heard good things." That's what I always say when I haven't really heard a band. Anyway, never heard of them again; I'm a sucker. But now, I'm an educated sucker.
