Indie Chavs...

Right, I know this is hyper-judgemental of me but everyone's aloud to be at some point, but i've discovered a group of people that I literally HATE. Hate....the strongest of all emotions. These people are the bastard child of the rising popularity of topshop indie SHITE bands and that tosh e4 new rave 'social realism' soap called 'Skins'. They are social chameleons and they make my blood boil. They are both 'chav' and 'indie' at the same time. THEY ARE...............CHINDIES.

CHINDIEEEEE

The reason i've come to hate these vermin is when i saw a group of them in Manchester city center today, it made my skin crawl. They're the reason that 5th ave is shit and plays shit music when it could be great. And, i'm probably kind of jealous that they get all the 'birds', but such is life!

HOW TO INDENTIFY A CHINDIE:

The Most common way to spot one of these dispicable creatures is by identifying a combination of the following features:

Lyle & Scott Jumpers:

Just look out for one of these bad boys, a must have essential for any chindie, available at riciculous prices from your nearest chindie outlet, which i'm guessing is Urban Outfitters or selfridges or something like that, i'm not big on fashion, but i am big on unessercarily hating groups of people. Although this model shows a t-shirt being worn underneath, chindies are most likely to sport the look without a t-shirt, preferring to show off there sunbedded tanned chests to the public, much to the adoration of the gay community.


They'll also be most-likely wearing one of them hats that make you look like you might have dreads, when really they've got slap'eds. Maybe some g-star jeans with a brown belt sporting the slogan 'jesus loves you' on it, and also a 'Gio goi' t-shirt, or whatever it's called.

Hair:








Obviously, we've all witnessed worse chindies than this but it took me ages to find even this one, think more blonde highlights and gay ass spikes.

Keywords are:

Toni and Guy

Shockwaves

Blonde Highlights

and finally

Music taste:

The perfect example of a chindie will be seen listening to the following bands.

When with his more indie group of friends, it'll be Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks, Scouting For Girls, Bloc Party, Kings of Leon, Pigeon Detectives, Klaxons... basically all the indie dross that can now be heard on radio one.

When with his more chavvy friends, he'll be rocking too DJ Tiesto YUK, Sway, Crazy Frog, Cascada and all the rap shit out there eg, iRONIK.

So now you know what a chindie is.... if you know of one please hit him.

Don't you just hate 'em? x

New albums i've been listening to...

Due to me being a prisoner in my own home i've been doing a lot of music listening, these are the albums i've been listening to and my thoughts on them.



Bayside - Shudder

Being the huge Bayside fan i am, getting this album was an absolute must, i was really worried that i was going to be dissapointed with it, but no, it's really good. I might even say it's on par with their last release, which is one of my favourite albums. It's different than the last one as it has a more stripped down sound, lacking the experimentation that was rife in 'The Walking Wounded', and it's safe to say that there isn't one song i don't like. Anthony Ranieri said that he wanted to create a punkier album this time around and I think he's achieved this, whilst retaining the catchy pop edge of previous releases.

Metallica - Death Magnetic

Really Good. This album sounds HUGE, thank you Metallica for using Rick Rubin to produce the album, he's done a brilliant job and stamped his mark all over it. This is a return to form if ever there was one, and blows "St Anger" (i.e. worst album by anyone ever), out of the water. I recommend that you listen to "All nightmare long", it's my favourite track on the album and contains some riffage that would sit perfectly in the Master Of Puppets album.

In addition to this i've been getting into more black metal at the moment, i've been listening to some Satyricon albums as well as Enslaved and am really impressed by them.

Student loan and other happenings..

I am currently house bound due to the lack of any available funds, i've extended my overdraft to the absolute limit and i'm struggling to make ends meet in a serious way.

Student loan is a no go at the moment, for some reason it hasn't come in, leaving me with no food, drink, alcohol or a means of travelling to uni and back. Which means i am severely FUCKED!

But I do have the internet which is a plus!

Another song hits the onion bag..

This is old news because i've had it ready for ages but its up on the myspace now (www.myspace.com/echoesfromanocean), it's called "What got the best of me" and took me a few goes to get right on the recording. People have said that it reminds them of ABBA which is a complement in my eyes. See what you think!
