Fuck You, Sandi Thom

November 26th 2006 13:38
Category: No Category
You know, I quite like nostalgia. Pleasantly reminiscing about the way things used to be.

What I don't like is shit-for-brains, no-talent fuckfaces like Sandi fucking Thom twonking on about how great things were in a time and place they don't even have a clue about. You wish you were a punk rocker with flowers in your hair? Well, I wish you'd take your fucking webcame and jam it up your stupid arse, where it can get some good close-ups of your face, bitch.

What's with that anyway? "In 77 AND 69? Were you writing a song about a historical period and got worried about hurting another one's feelings? Thought it'd be exclusionary not put both of them in? What have punks got to do with hippies anyway, you terminal cretin?


Imagine her starting out..."In 1969, revolution was in the air...hmm, hang on. In 77, revolution was in the air too...gee, I'd hate for people to think I had forgotten any of the years in which revolution was in the air. Better stick that in."

And if revolution was in the air, why the fuck would innocence still be bliss? What the hell are you talking about, dickhead?

"Radio was king"??? Radio was fucking KING? You wish radio was king again? Where the fuck would you be if radio was king, Miss Cam Whore? No fucking where, that's where. You better thank your lucky stars radio isn't king, bitch. Get down on your talentless knees.

And you think revolution was in the air in nineteen seventy seven? Know what the top albums in 1977 were? Barry MANILOW, the Commodores, The Eagles, Boston, Steve Miller. That's how goddamn revolutionary it was. And you know who Barry Manilow, the Commodores, the Eagles, Boston and Steve Miller were all a million times better than?

SANDI FUCKING THOM, that's who! Lily Allen hates your guts? Good, Lily Allen's a million times better than you too, bitch.


I just read where you apparently never wanted to be a celebrity. In that case, do EVERYone a favour, crawl back into your basement and fucking DIE!

I hate to bag out writers, but you obviously aren't too sure about the meaning of the lyrics. Everyone knows that 1969 was the hippie revolution, with Woodstock, and it's also pretty common knowledge that 1977 was the general advent of punk rock with the Sex Pistols and The Clash. This was pretty damn big, since it influences basically every part of the rock side of music today, as well as postmodern thinking. What Sandi Thom is saying is that the 69 and 77 were both the big musical and social revolutions of the 20th century.

Innocence was in the air back then because the advent of punk rock is generally seen by scholars to be the coming-of-age of Generation X. Radio was king is actually quite an ironic statement - she's nostalgic for a time when radio was the main source of musical knowledge for the common population, when she became famous through webcasts.

Hate to smash down your article, but for a blog entitled "World News," you're not very objective.

I may of been very young in 77 but would'nt it of been more appropriate for her to sing "I wish I was a punkrocker with saftey pins in my face"? I mean there was soo much metal piercing the skins of the local punk fans that when "hellraiser" came out I thought it was a documentary about youth unemployment or something. I do not believe I ever saw flowers in their hair...unless they were lying unconscious on the grass outside the pub...then technically the dandelions MAY of been in their hair
To quote Sandi herself " I was born too late" to know about the 60's but most adults I know have said it was pretty much overrated.
Personally I'd like to see the song redone for the 1700's and 1800's apparently the music then could knock your head off too...

That's the point - "I wish i was a punkrocker with flowers in my hair" refers to both punks and hippies. Punks were... punkrockers... and hippies had flowers in their hair.

I think Sting's got it covered on Elizabethan music.

Remember to breathe mate hehe.

I haven't seen you this fired up since the lyrical diversity of "The Music sounds better with you" by Stardust in 1998

Gee, Jimbo, thanks SO much for your history lesson. Perhaps you can fill me in on some other obscure facts from the past, like who won World War 2, and which country Abraham Lincoln was president of?

I mean, I hate to bag out commenters, but it would seem that some evil gang of international black market organ traders has drugged you and removed the parts of your brain responsible for both sense of humour AND reading comprehension. They have greatly enhanced those parts responsible for being pretentious and condescending and having shit taste in music, though, so swings and roundabouts.

Or maybe you're just too lazy to read the rest of this blog to get an idea of what I write about before you comment, and that's why you don't...er, get it, hm? Maybe the impetuosity of youth is what causes you to leap about yammering on without knowing what you're talking about, hm?

But never mind all that, please, please, give me the benefit of your vast wisdom and encyclopaedic knowledge. Do tell, do tell. What was the name of that band who sung "Love Me Do"? What was Elvis's surname? Who were the two sides in the American-Spanish War?

DO tell me, I'm EVER so lost and ignorant of these things.

I wasn't even born in 1977, Doonafairy (and neither was Sandi Thom), but I do actually know enough about it to know what Sandi's singing about, and to form the opinion that she's full of shit.

I learnt this by reading, and understanding what I read, something our friend Jimbo still struggles with, but I'm sure he'll get there eventually.

This blog, of course, is, with occasional exceptions, basically a humour blog. Very little is meant to be taken seriously (as if statements of musical taste should be anyway), and people who can't grasp this should probably go get some fresh air.

Oh, and by the way, Elizabethan music doesn't come from the 1700s and 1800s.

Gee, for a blog called "Music Times", you don't know much about music, do you?

Hear! Hear! I can't stnd that song either. I was there, and '77 and '69 were totally dissimilar. Like chalk and cheese, or hippies and punks, they are at opposite ends of the spectrum.
It's almost as bad as Alanis Morisettes' Ironic. she doesn't seem to understand the meaning of irony. Rain on your wedding day would only be ironic if you were marrying the weather man...and he told you it would be fine.
is there a line to stab her in the eye with a fork too?
