tokoyo police club - Be Good - mp3 review

August 8th, 2006 r8e8rcom

Ok, quick rant. 9 times out of 10 music blogs are bullshit. Trust me, there’s more advertising dollars in most popular blogs than you would think. I don’t know about you guys, but I think of a blog and I think of some kid writing about what he/she actually likes, right. Unfortunately this is hardly the case. I mean, Stereogum has more retail marketing than Insound does, and this guy was having meetings with venture capitalists for gods sake. Anyway, all I’m trying to say is when it comes to blogs don’t believe the hype.Toyko Police Club however, while still blog darlings, do live up to the hype IMHO. I finally got to see them live last night and was blown away. If you guys like them they are playing Insound’s CMJ party this year and you should all go. Those of you who have been here for CMJ with me and Andy know that you will absolutely need a whole year to recover from it. Yes, we like to drink, yes all day, yes all night, yes all week. Alright, so tell me, am I succumbing to disguised corporate marketing or are these guys really that good. You tell me.
