Here's what I think, revised:
We resent The Frames because we think our bands are better than them, but our own bands are less successful - we don't think they deserve what they have (or we think if they do deserve it, then we deserve more), therefore we cast aspersions. We don't mind Will Oldham being successful because he is better than us.
So, not direct jealousy, but a kind of jealousy-based thing all the same
i resent the frames 'cos i think there are plenty of other irish acts that are as good and deserve the same exposure. personally i'm sick of hearing and reading how the frames are the vanguard of irish independent music. i'd not have a go at glen hansard for this reason though.
