i could not resist posting these:

Quote:

Avril Lavigne admitted on radio that she got so drunk partying in London that she "barfed everywhere." Nice. She explained: "I'd drunk everything from my minibar back at the hotel. I started the night off behaving myself with a vodka tonic, which is what I usually drink. But I ended up chugging red wine, then champagne, and then I don't remember what else I drank."

"Don't Tell Me" is about more than trashing low-life dudes, as it tells us something about the leveraging of the brand known as Avril Lavigne: don't write her off as a one-night stand or a three-hit wonder. This layered meaning may be the latest wrinkle in the evolving music video. As pop lyrics grow more generic, and the words to "Don't Tell Me" add up to little more than an extended kiss-off, clips like this one turn into glosses on the lives and careers of the artists. Here, Ms. Lavigne's assured stomp indicates that she's conquered both break-ups and career anxieties.

Quote:

"Avril wanted a very genuine thing to happen with her next record," says Kreviazuk. "She wanted something very special to happen, that was not going to be contrived, that wasn't going to be the label or anybody pushing her in a direction or setting her up with people, even though she and I knew that she was going to have to humor those relationships once again. She really knew that there was something real inside her that was going to come out."

The Beeb is wrong, it is actually 18 (Quebec, Alberta and Manitoba) - 19 (all other provinces). (http://www.icap.org/publications/report4.html). I know it is 19 in Ontario because i've been there twice. The report is right about the off-licenses (but not pubs) being government-run which is kind of weird.

Just after she said that in that interview, the silly tart then went on to say she only drinks in moderation. Hmmm.

Sounds like my normal Friday night... Apart from the She bit (although there are often women present) and the champagine.

She didn't ruin Punk Rock. Far from it, it is more fun, because now there are so many poseurs now to ridicule. They are easy to spot. They wear a white "wife-beater" (sleevless vest), with a tie, and half of Claire's Accessories.

It is amusing to play some real punk rock to them and watch 'em freak out

she doesent count herself as punk rock, its more pop/rock which i have always believed to be anyway..........

You can't take what she says seriously mate, I learnt that a long time ago.

Busted may not be bastions of the punk rock scene, but at least they have an honesty about them. They may be pop, and run by the pop industry, but at least they don't try and pretend that they aren't. Their attitude (not caring about what other people think, having some integrity etc) is far more punk than "Sk8er Boi" *giggles* or Avril would ever will be.

its the media labels that cause the problem!

punky · 04-05-2004, 17:29

The thing is though, (this is a debate which rages on in the punk scene), punk isn't just loud music, it's like... a state of mind, a set of beliefs etc.

There is a genre called Emo [-tional] Punk, which is filled with bands like New Found Glory, Get Up Kids, and songs that sound like "Sk8er Boi", have similiar lyrics, but just are performed by punks really.

BTW Not having a go at you Kronas, mate. I know you get a pretty rough time whilst liking/supporting Avril, but some of the Avril fans i've come to know in the past have been in another world.

I have just found out what Kronas eats for breakfast
