From an interview on NoiseCreep:

“I do get a little annoyed that it seems like a lot of bands that come out now that I read, “The greatest band that I’ve ever heard.” And I see them and I go, “There’s absolutely no testosterone in this band.” I heard the title Vampire Weekend and I thought, “Oh, man, that’s gonna be great. I gotta see it.” And there are these guys with little Gap T-shirts on and they’re singing about I don’t know what, it was so light I couldn’t listen to it. And I’m going, “What happened to the balls in rock ‘n’ roll? Why are American bands so wimpy?”

I’m getting a lot of bands that are kind of going, “Oh, the summer in the rain and aren’t lightning bugs wonderful?” And I’m going, “What kind of drug are you on?” I think if you asked Ozzy, Igg and all the other people that come from our generation, we’re kind of hoping the young guys step it up a little bit when it comes to being guys.”

For the most part I agree, but to generalize American bands as wimpy? Dude, you play golf all day, and could someone please send Alice a Jay Reatard, Ghengis Tron or a HEALTH album? Thanks!
