It amazes me that Ocean Colour Scene are so f*cking boring when they use the same notes as everyone else
Untrue. It amazes me that Proper Mannies’ musicians are still managing to create fine music from the same 12 notes, and the same 3-4 chords (including inversions and derivatives) that have been prevalent in western music for millennia.
Exposure is the problem in the pre-packed, ‘celebrity’-led, technology-over-talent age. There’s ****ing heaps of musicians creating superb material out there if you seek it out.

Loved them from 1996-1997.
Totally agree with you. I think there's plenty of great music just now. There was a lull for me early 00s but I'm still impressed by a lot of new music and live performances.
I don't think you have to look that hard, Spotify, radio 6 and BBC Scotland are all great platforms that musicians didn't have before.
Shame are one of the best new bands I've heard for a long time along with Kamasi Washington, the Internet, dream wife, Khruangbin, Protomarytr...
There's also some great pop stuff around. Back during britpop I thought the charts were pish, I'm sure every generation feels that way.
Typcial metal fans though, everything is pish to them in their time warp bubble.
