irishrover - Spouting pious nonsense doesn't make you a fan of music, it merely means that you subscribe to the childish notion of 'mine is better than yours'. Surely no one is slagging off the band for defending music, but the idea that a singer in a much (over?) hyped band can make such grandious statements about the music industry is laughable and of no real consequence (thanks must go the NME for picking up on such a non-story).If you are that passionate about them, then slaver over their every borrowed key-change and faux-melodramatic hook instead of pretending to be the defender of 'real' music.

Fair enough, White Lies are derivative and largely irrelevant. But isn't it strange how bands who sound a bit like Joy Division (Interpol, Editors, etc) end up getting criticised for it, yet The Horrors pull off the trick of sounding EXACTLY like JD on their second album and (almost) every critic in the land is practically falling over themselves to heap praise on them? Curious.
