Rogue Traders Are Killing Dance Music

Posted on Tuesday July 4, 2006 in Music

EDIT: To all the people coming herre from the Rogue Traders forum: I’m terribly sorry if you don’t like this image. I’m not forcing you to look at it.

I am, however, being forced to listen to your favourite band. Saturation coverage on commercial radio and television. I’m not even a heavy consumer of commercial radio and television, and yet somehow this cheese has permeated even my subconcious.

As far as I see it, your favourite band ‘borrow’ riffs from artists of substance, willingly engage the services of ‘e’ grade soap stars to sing vocals, pervert 30 years of dance music tradition to make a quick buck as far as I can see it, have no musical integrity. Oh yeah, and their music sucks.

I am not the comedian Cal Wilson, merely a concerned Australian citizen and music consumer. I’m sure, however, that she thinks your favourite band sucks too.

  1. WE RESENT THIS!!! NATALIE BASSINGTHWAIGHTE IS AMAZING. YOU SHOULD ALL BOW TO HER!!!

  2. to the above “Antonia Bashford” – apart from the fact your myspace is SERIOUSLY stalkerish (way beyond your normal “fan” would do) A little extreme honey.

    Please justify who “we” is because if there are more people like ‘you’ I think it’s time to start handing out restraining orders. God forbid there be more people like you. get a fucking hobby, get a fucking boyfriend (mind you judging by your myspace you probably are that delluded you think you are dating Paul Robinson yourself. Get a life, get over it, stop watching so many soapies and GET TASTE IN MUSIC! (scrub!)

  3. ‘Cal Wilson’ Every single band/singer or artist takes riffs and samples from other songs. There isn’t any song left in the world that isn’t orignal. So get over yourself. Just because you do not like a particular band doesn’t mean you have to make up total shit about them. FUCK YOU.

  5. Dearest Geko. You don’t know what you’re talking about. “We” would be the entire Rogue Traders fan base – you’ll find them at their website. And at Natalie’s website.

    And I’ll have you know I have a boyfriend, well, I wouldn’t call him a boyfriend anymore as I’m marrying him, which is why, it has taken me so long to come back here and defend myself.

    My myspace is not stalkerish, that’s slander and calumny. You need to learn how to use brackets deary, as you forgot to close them. There isn’t even any Natalie Bassingthwaighte on my profile. It’s Sweeney Todd, and has had a Helena Bonham Carter layout since it was created in July.

  6. Bloody hell. Cal I totally agree with you in all but one respect. Rogue traders aren’t dance music… its just throwaway pop that will fester and rot from within due to lack of substance. Way to rile up the ‘traders froum, that rules.
