Speaking of cool kids, K.G. has the top 40 bands in America today, a survey in which I participated.
It's amazing how many geezers made the list: Brian Wilson, Springsteen, David Byrne? It's almost as if American music has been taken over by commercial monoliths catering to 12-year-olds and the U.K. has a lot of the interesting new stuff. Hmmm...
Interesting absences: !!!, LCD Soundsystem and Radio 4 -- has DFA been flogged to death?

Radio 4 put out an underwhelming album, !!!'s time was last year, and LCD Soundsystems will be next year.

Are you calling Brian Wilson and David Byrne commercial monoliths.
