Did anyone read Mondays Guardian G2? They're at it again!
I don't read the music press, apart from the odd Mojo mag about old bands that I find in the bathroom, to me the music press today is absolute shite. So for me, the G2's piece about Fannypack was the first time I've seen anything about them in the UK. And boy did they swallow it whole... Guardian is somewhat like an embarrassing 'cool' dad. Anything musical or youth orientated, usually found in the Guide is written this way. They even called the piece Beastie Girls!
So far in the US, Fannypack has been met with pretty much a universal pannning, apart from no idea at all opionforming publications such as Rolling Stone... For those who have heard these girls, Fannypack is not Hip Hop. It's Hip Pop, which translates as Pop. The flyposters around town of Christina Aliguera (spelling, I know) dressed all fly, with a hollowed out boombox on her shoulder, barely bumper level, despite wearing pornstar perspex platforms, to a genuine New York Yellow cab, sums up both Fannypack and the Guardian - can't wait to hear your reactions if you've heard them yet...
