(I think he's amazing, but I've not listened to him for weeks.)
I think we could all learn from you @Octahedron - if we all spent more time listening to baby farts instead of this b*llox music wouldn't be in such a sorry state today.
It’s funny, because I listened to another of the songs posted in the thread where it’s just him talking drivel over the top of the music from Bittersweet Symphony.
I just can’t get behind the idea that people actually consider this guy the “future of music”. It’s nonsense. Anyone can do what he’s doing with Garage Band and a few brain cells. It’s not original… People are free to like what they want but the idea that this is the future of music is absurd to me.
Europe and Extreme were just a lucky guess - easy targets to make fun of - both those groups have proven to have an enduring popularity so cannot be without their charms and merits.
It's juts not my bag - but neither is Ren. - I say a couple of times in the thread that it's not to my taste...... it's too theatrical for me personally - but even if it doesn't appeal to me I can see the possibility of it being picked upon and gaining traction as a zeitgeist type artist - I think its appropriate that when the next Beatles, Bowie,Marley, Funkadelic, Clash, Public Enemy, Nirvana or Oasis etc come a long that us 'older folk' will think - 'whats the terrible noise - thats not real music' - thats only right and proper for ver kids to have something of their own, something us oldies don't understand
I'd dispute your assertion that anyone can do what he's doing with garage band (have a look at some of the YouTube clips of his own band 'the big push'... he's a talented musician and singer) and thought you can clearly see some of his influences I'd also say that he's an original artist in that he presents familiar ideas in a comparatively new way......
No need to worry anyway @Octahedron - even if Ren takes over and there is no more 'proper bands making proper music'...... the out touch people of yesterday (us) can still hide in our Guns n Roses (you) and Stone Roses (me) CDs.....
No, I don't think it is the future of music - it will have it's place and some people will like it but I don't see it as anything new or groundbreaking.
I wouldn't buy the CD, but as a piece of performance art I did really quite enjoy it. Without the visuals it doesn't carry the same weight for me. I think as part of a stage play or musical it would fit in really well and I'd be happy to buy tickets and sit in a theatre and watch this as part of a bigger story.
On it's own I think it will fade into obscurity to all apart from a dedicated few who will like this kind of stuff regardless.
The lad obviously has talent, though, and I wish him all the success that he seeks.
Over & out.

Bit of trading feedback here.
Interestingly, I had forgotten about The Streets. It’s not my jam. I used to often catch his music videos when flicking between the music channels on Sky tv as a kid. Definitely see the similarities there.
Who cares though?! Jeez
