English rocker Keith Richards says that he does not like the kind of music modern bands compose.Launching an attack on bands like ‘Arctic Monkeys’ and ‘Oasis’, the Richards said that he prefers listening to country and blues genres.

The ‘The Rolling Stones’ star insists that these are the genres that should be on vinyl.

“I don’t listen to what’s going on. I don’t like CDs, quite honestly. They sound tinny to me,” British tabloid Daily Express quoted him as telling Uncut magazine in an interview about Shine A Light, Martin Scorsese’s documentary about the band.

“I’ve not even heard the Arctic Monkeys. I know of them but I don’t know anything they’ve done. I didn’t like Oasis, I didn’t like the Sex Pistols, I don’t like any of those English rock’n’roll bands. They’re all c***,” the 64-year-old star said.

The second single from the highly anticipated The Odd Couple sophomore effort has moved our hero ?uesto so much he begged and begged and begged Sir Mouse could he leak it first on the net.

well….he kinda went further and shot a clip while he shoulda been napping before showtime.

most idiots will probably be on some “scoff…this aint no CRAZY”–well you dumb ass parrots–this to me digs deeper. and what an apt title
The Odd Couple: a very dense dark atmospheric moody templet just dramatic enough for the last great living and WORKING soul singer under 40 and the most creative and intuitive producer maniac music has seen in a sec.

thanks fellas for giving me the honor.

(the album comes out april 2008)
