Momrock = Paolo Nutini. With you all the way on the astute rant. The only time I can ever recall a 'cash-in' LP working out was Hatful of Hollow by The Smiths. Not quite. Momrock = Paolo Nutini.

Marcy, I would characterise dadrock as limp sub-indie. The sort of Keane/Coldplay stuff that fathers of teenagers listen to and then use this pale pastiche of indie rock to say to their kids: ‘look, see, I’m still cool, see the cool new music I listen to’. And their kids roll their eyes and turn up their emo and dad just doesn’t understand what he’s done wrong. Actually, I like that explanation - I may make a whole post out of that.
