MUSIC: A lot of F-ing big news
So, Toronto-based (and frequent New York visitors) Fucked Up have signed to indie stalwart Matador. Considering the band's disdain for all things commercial—which includes not maintaining a profile on MySpace or other social networking sites, as well as releasing the majority of their work on vinyl—this almost counts as "selling out." Almost.
Meanwhile (and with much derision from Fucked Up), Alexis Petridis of London's Guardian newspaper goes off on the seemingly ubiquitous use of "Fuck" in a band's name, including two recent blog faves (Holy Fuck and Fuck Buttons), as well as the more obscure (I don't know who the Fuckin' Shit Biscuits are, but count me in next time they're in town! Actually...as the "world's first Punk Jam Band" [sic], count me out...)
