Rob Morrison Rocks to Wolfmother

2007_02_arts_rm.jpgToday in New York anchorman, Rob Morrison, has gone and turned in to a music blogger overnight. In one of his latest posts he declares that Wolfmother does in fact rock.

"Attention brothers and sisters of Rock.

If you, like me, feel as if you are drowning in a sea of sensitivity; awash in the moody minor-chords of bands like Coldplay, The Fray and that guy who jumped off a cliff because he saw a pretty girl on the subway... Rejoice! Salvation has arrived from the land down under.

Wolfmother, in my opinion, has been sent to singlehandedly save rock-n-roll. This Aussie power trio plays as if possessed by the god of Rock himself, generating a sound that can only be described as a violent, head-on collission between Deep Purple and The White Stripes.

Warning: People who enjoy long, romantic walks and cuddling need not apply.

Muchas gracias to TINY audio guru J. Mullaney for introducing us to these guys during our commercial breaks."

Anchor Darlene Rodriguez has this to say in his comments:

"Oh please...give me a break, "the guy who jumps off the bridge" is James Blunt...and as I tell you every morning, it's OKAY to like stuff that everyone else likes. It doesn't make you any less cool, really. And Wolfmother, by the way, is alright but they are hardly possessed by any god, let alone the god of rock and roll. So don't go jumping off a bridge for them."

No, Rob, it's not okay to like James Blunt...don't listen to her! Keep rocking.

Who? Who? and who?

//goes back to listening to b-boy music

 

It's true! It really isn't OK to like James Blunt.

 

There's only one God of rock and that's Ronnie James Dio. And he has rocked for a long time.
This wolfmother is nothing more that another aussie group in drag.
And, James blunt is freakin rich since the touch of Oprah was upon him. Much more so that Apple and it's rotting hand on wolfmutha.

 

I'm in Rob's camp. It's better not to refer the guy who jumps off the cliff by name.

 

I would like to take this time to announce that I've had a crush on Rob Morrison for months now. His morning chemistry with Martha Stewart is SIZZLING.

 

Wolfmother's song Woman is a good Sabbath clone, but they're not very original.

 

Is that a real guy? It looks like a mannequin. Seriously creepy.

 

ANYBODY WHO KNOWS MUSIC THESE GUYS ARE NOT ROCK N ROLL G-DS. THERE WAS A GREAT ERA IN THE 60,S AND 70,S FOR ROCK N ROLL BUT WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE A REAL ROCK N ROLL BAND AROUND TODAY LIKE THE BLACK CROWES

 

Wolfmother is the new Vines.

 

Rob Morrison's writing style is about as cheesy and cliched as his Important Anchorman Hair and Natural Looking Faux Tan.
I mean, it starts with an "Attention brothers and sisters of Rock," and ends with a "muchas gracias"!
Plus the following words/phrases are really irritating:
-Sea of sensitivity
-Rejoice!
-sent to singlehandedly save rock-n-roll
-Warning:
He's a really boring writer. I bet he uses a lot of quote marks and thumbs up signs when talking. I'm surprised I didn't see a "tour de force" worked in there. He should stick to being pearly white achorguy w/the tour de force hair. Darlene Rodriguez seems to be totally annoyed by him as well.

P.S. But I agree, of course, that J--- B--- totally sucks balls.

I concur.
 

I've always wanted to shag Rob Morrison.

 

what a homo.
