Why I Hate The
October Project
by Alice Teeple
The October Project
is this dumb band which thinks it is really cool. It is one of those
bands that people use as a name-dropper to impress each other at a) coffeehouses
or b) bohemian parties. People think that if you listen to a pseudo-Celtic
band like the October Project, you must be one of those renegade music
lovers. Well, friend, you aren't. You simply listen to a band
that utterly sucks. The lead singer sounds like a cross between having
stepped on something sharp, and deep bovine woe. I really hate her
voice. I also hate the love songs, because they make love sound like
some kind of tortuous lab experiment (with violins). My parents use their
October Project CDs as a torture device, in fact. Usually they only
play them when I am not at their house. But if I piss them off...well,
on the player they go! This prompts me either to stop pissing them
off, or, more frequently, prompts me to vacate the premises.
Although
I am a huge fan of their cover art, I am not deterred by the interesting
fonts or the fab-oo photography on the CD covers. No - I have experienced
a fate worse than Britney Spears: I have been subjected
to the cacophony that is the October Project.
The End.
