Coolness Bears Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 I've been listening to a lot of Music today! and i got my Last FM working again! But the song i have stuck in my head is The A Team theme tune! When i haven't listened to it today! or for at least a few months.
Paj! Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 I've been listening to Tori Amos non-stop basically for like 2 weeks. Feels like I'm neglecting my other artists, especially Bjork.
Oxigen_Waste Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 I don't see how you can slate the Arcade Fire like that Oxigen_Waste. You may not like their style but they undeniably have a lot of talent. I love them. I understand why people love them and they do have talent that I recognise... but I don't like them. Wanna know why? Wasted potential. They could be so much more than they actually are. I have issues with people complaining about how fast others get in to bands- a good album is still good six months after release, so it's not really a problem unless they wilfully ignore new music. I have to agree there, that was a rather dumb statement from my part. It still annoys me that people here listen mainly to shit, though. Not you, though. You, I like.
AshMat Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 I checked out Tegan and Sara today, very good stuff.
chairdriver Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 My top 5 tracks by Tegan and Sara: 1) I Hear Noises 2) The Con 3) Underwater 4) Hop A Plane 5) Nineteen I Hear Noises is literally awesome. I love the sibylance (sp?) in it. You can hear the sss sound when they sing "sad, sick people like me".
DCK Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 I understand why people love them and they do have talent that I recognise... but I don't like them. Wanna know why? Wasted potential. They could be so much more than they actually are.So what would you say that they could improve on? Their music is really epic and well-crafted, their lyrics are excellent and their sound is quite unique.
Dan_Dare Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 I have to agree there, that was a rather dumb statement from my part. It still annoys me that people here listen mainly to shit, though. Not you, though. You, I like. yeah that's because my taste is impeccable in all things. So what would you say that they could improve on? Their music is really epic and well-crafted, their lyrics are excellent and their sound is quite unique. FYI, that makes no sense. Uniqueness is an absolute, and doesn't come in varying degrees like 'quite'. sigh. pet peeve.
Davey_T Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 Going to see Saosin on the 24th and Taste of chaos on the 25th . Two awesome gigs in 2 days = win
DCK Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 FYI, that makes no sense. Uniqueness is an absolute, and doesn't come in varying degrees like 'quite'.I'm terribly sorry I offended the language with some word creativity Arcade Fire has a unique sound, but it doesn't sound completely like no other band...
Dan_Dare Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 then they don't have a unique sound. that's my point. I'll give you distinctive.
The Bard Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 I'm terribly sorry I offended the language with some word creativity Arcade Fire has a unique sound, but it doesn't sound completely like no other band... The word dull is the one you're looking for. So. Fucking. Monotonous.

I love the sibylance (sp?) in it. You can hear the sss sound when they sing "sad, sick people like me". It's not awesome. It's one of their better songs though. I don't get whats so amazing about the "ss". It's actually quite annoying, yet funny. I've listened to Tori Amos too much recently. I fear i'm losing touch with Bjork and it's scary.
chairdriver Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 It's not awesome. It's one of their better songs though. I don't get whats so amazing about the "ss". It's actually quite annoying, yet funny. One could actually analyse "I Hear Noises" and write an essay on it, it's that good. "If It Was You" is such a great album. "The Con" is more alternative and crazy though.
James_banned Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 JME anyone? Finally found some Boy Better Know and I'm loving Derkhead.
Oxigen_Waste Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 So what would you say that they could improve on? Their music is really epic and well-crafted, their lyrics are excellent and their sound is quite unique. Whilst all that is true, everytime I listen to their stuff, I feel it's not complete. Lacking. Unfinished. They need poilishing. That being said, even though I don't like them... they remain the best concert I've seen this year, so far. Going to see Saosin on the 24th and Taste of chaos on the 25th . Two awesome gigs in 2 days = win Saosin = fail.
Hem Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 The Arcade Fire's performance at Reading Festival this year, was probably the best concert i've ever seen.
AshMat Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 The Arcade Fire's performance at Reading Festival this year, was probably the best concert i've ever seen. Yeah i saw them at Leeds fst, thought they were really good. Very interesting performance.
Bren Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 JME anyone? Finally found some Boy Better Know and I'm loving Derkhead. ye man, i well wanna boy better know tee, proper niceee
Mr-Paul Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 The Arcade Fire's performance at Reading Festival this year, was probably the best concert i've ever seen. I saw them at Reading this year and I found them quite boring to be honest. Just didn't really appeal to me.
AshMat Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Just got The Killer's new cd thingy today, gotta give it a listen.
Daft Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Is it just me or is there not a Justice Facebook group?? Maybe my computer is just broken....I started one anyway: http://soas.facebook.com/group.php?gid=16647640071&ref=mf
The Bard Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Just got The Killer's new cd thingy today, gotta give it a listen. The killers are epic phail, and if they had even the smallest shred of human decency, they'd all commit seppuku. Ugh. maybe it's just because I'm an angry person, but I can't overthrow this urge to go to town on their ugly faces with any and every blunt object I can find. Also, Bitches Brew is a pimpin record and a half.
Jon Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 The killers are epic phail, and if they had even the smallest shred of human decency, they'd all commit seppuku.

Also, Bitches Brew is a pimpin record and a half. Why must you hate on every band who don't posses the apparent awe inpiring ability you do. We all know you're legendary, It's just diminishing your brilliance by constantly repeating it. I mean, why even waste your breath on such talentless fools. Kay?
My Buttons are Magic! Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 yay for hoosiers and avril lavigne god, my music taste sucks tho on the maybe upside im listening to muse, +44 and angels and airwaves too and maximo park! and klaxons!
James_banned Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 yay for hoosiers and avril lavigne god, my music taste sucks tho on the maybe upside im listening to muse, +44 and angels and airwaves too and maximo park! and klaxons! Argggghhhhhhh pop-punk I cannae stand it. Still Muse, Maximo Park and Klaxons are good. Also NME shockwaves tour 2008 will feature: The Cribs, Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong, Does it offend you, Yeah? and The Ting Tings. Only really listened to The Cribs and The Ting Tings from that (both great bands check em out) and doubt I'll be going.
