Posted April 20, 2008 No, there's no need to be nasty about it. I'm not against someone not liking something, but there is a thing called diplomacy you know. Let's call it hipocrisy. Being overly nice is shit. If I have something to say, I say it, despite the "feelings" I may "hurt". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 20, 2008 Let's call it hipocrisy. Being overly nice is shit. If I have something to say, I say it, despite the "feelings" I may "hurt". That isn't exactly hipocrisy if you believe in being nice to other people and have some manners. I'm sure all the cool kids act like that, at least on the internet, but that kind of shit just seems like shouting "HEY LOOK AT ME I'M ALTERNATIVE! I DON'T GIVE A SHIT!"

Na, it's not "alternative", it's rude. But that's who I am. Seriously though, I believe in being nice, but I don't believe in being dishonest, and of course I'm not gonna say something like "you're fugly" because that may hurt the other person's feelings, but when discussing taste, I always shoot straight ahead, and personaly believe that if you really need people to be extra nice to you concerning your opinions, maybe it's not the other people's problem, but your own over-sensitivity that needs to get fixed. I'm not gonna get offended if someone disagrees with me, heck, I'd be doomed if I was like that. Bottom line, this type of discussion isn't the same as laughing at the bald cancer kid. This is a discussion board, where would we be if we all wore candy-coated pijamas, vanilla cream slippers and cotton candy bathrobes when adressing others? : peace: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's being an utter arsehole, and there is putting your opinion across like an adult. Anyhoo. Yay for last.fm having a plugin to work with Vista. ^___^ At last!

Posted April 20, 2008 My Tegan and Sara life is now complete. I've heard the original demos. I'm sad there's no I Was Married though. I love how the original demo of Back In Your Head is so different from the final album version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 20, 2008 I DL'd Duffy's album, despite the bad reviews, and me knowing it'd be "meh". I'm in the modd for some smokey 60's stuff though, and it's funny seeing if she has a life. Feels like Mercy is false advertising though, as it's so different to the rest. Best tracks so far (half way through); Rockferry (her first single) and Syrup + Honey. --------- I was listening to one of my favourite bands I recently discovered, Be Your Own pet, who are comparable to Paramore in terms of line-up/age, and I think it's to do with the fact Jemina pearl (think that's her name) is singing with venom and sincerity. I don't believe a word that comes outof Hayley's mouth. It's just normal singing over the rock music in the background. be Your Own Pet's songs are like ultra-speedy stampedes. Plus the more mature content of their lyrics help. ----- I'm laughing at Debbie Harry's album getting 7.4 on Pitchfork. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 20, 2008 I thought, bar NME's review, the album had gotten pretty good reviews? I can't stand "Mercy", I just don't like her voice at all. Oh. Evidently I was confused. I think I just read a few reviews and they said it was a bit dull. I really like her voice. I hate "clean" voices, usually, preferring ones with grit in them, or slightly roughness. She fits in with Cerys Mathews in that "welsh lass' sense. I'm just so bored of normal voices, unless they're used on good tracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate "clean" voices, usually, preferring ones with grit in them, or slightly roughness. She fits in with Cerys Mathews in that "welsh lass' sense. I'm just so bored of normal voices, unless they're used on good tracks. Thats why I love the lead singer of the Rogue traders (though more on the second album than the first). They've not gotten rid of every little defect in her voice or slight moment where she goes vaguely off. It sounds so much better when she's singing, especially "On Your Way To The Disco". She's obviously not the best singer ever..but it's sort of used to her advantage if that makes any sense whatsoever? Then again, I love Hayley Williams voice and thats pretty "clean" so I guess I like both. It's just Duffy's voice sounds so whiny, it bugs me a little.

Posted April 20, 2008 Where did I say that lying was necessary? There's being an utter arsehole, and there is putting your opinion across like an adult. So I'm being childish? I'm not a "model citizen" is that it? Seriously, I could put my opinions across in a more educated and polite manner, if I wanted to, yes. And if I wanted to be nice I could even make you feel better about yourself for liking whatever it is you like. But then again, why the fuck would I want to be nice to you? And why should I bestow your opinion with the respect it clearly doesn't deserve? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 20, 2008 Black and Gold by Sam Sparro is really good, I didn't really like it at first, but it's really grown on me now. Might have to check the rest of the album out at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
