Indie footballers s/d c/d

GO!

you mean like Baines or like dudes with cult appeal?

If it's Baineses, I do kind of love those guys. I dunno why exactly, maybe because football is somehow an environment where they still seem like the anorak-wearing kids with Smiths lyrics scrawled over their tactics jotters.

On the other hand, nothing disappointed me more than discovering Del Piero is besotted with Noel Gallagher.

Baines is what's wrong with Britain.

italian bad taste is kind of a special thing in itself, would not relate it to your lumpen baineses

italian anglophilia is the lurid drag version of bainesery basically

Thread inspired mainly by my dad's late-mid-00s fixation on Man City's Stephen Jordan as someone who "must be well into his indie" based primarily on his haircut:

take the thread any direction you want but avoid Pat Nevin. Use it as a space to discuss 'hipster footballers' if you like.

john scales introduced chris evans to reef's 'place your hands' by sending a copy of the 7" single to him by courier with a post-it exclaiming 'everything changes here'

The inset in that photo is the weirdest thing. It's like a Wedding Present version of that Pink Floyd sleeve.

Right on cue: http://www.theguardian.com/football/quiz/2013/oct/29/are-you-a-football-hipster

34 btw

I started it and then it annoyed me in Q1 so I closed the tab.

My dad is also well into LB as we share a surname.

Anyone else into the player quiz/profiles in matchday programmes? Most FL teams have at least one player, usually a full back, who gets "a lot of stick from the lads" about his dressing room choices. "None of that R'n'B rubbish most of the boys are into, I try and put on some proper music, Kasabian really get me ready"

that line has been around for quite a while, like for stoic yeoman of the guard white british footballers. even in the 90s when footballers liked phil collins they'd be all racially iffy about whoever "tried to get me into the rap music"...

was Le Saux a fucking indie? i don't remember but let's be honest

http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2007/nov/09/smalltalk.sportinterviews

course bruv

Hail to the Thief was too experimental though

x 10,000

Paul McShane looks like he's an indie

robbie fowler's co-writer credit on 'backdrifts' didnt go down so well

5. Who is your favourite football pundit?

Jamie Redknapp
Alan Shearer
Andy Townsend
Pat Nevin

I demand a write-in button

as for clubs, Man City do wheel out the Joy Division, Oasis, ACR, etc as halftime music, but they're clearly a 'bought out by Sony' type of indie

xp horrified to find that Shearer was my answer for that

i bet Doyler fucking loves the Cranberries or something

obviously townsend, the most entertainingly imbecilic

there's an interview with robbie keane where he says, in his hilarious voice: "i love the irish music meself, mary black and the like."

like, wtf, mary black is something your granny likes.

same set of fai interviews has stephen hunt thinking for a second before saying, all as one word: "countin'crows"

sister of him out the pixies tbf xp

lol that's a good joke if for some reason rtc knows francis black

Pat Nevin's DJing at http://www.howdoesitfeel.co.uk/ this weekend, working hard to win this thread.

I've been to one of Pat Nevin's DJing gigs. He's pretty much Captain Obvious, playing Smells Like Teen Spirit, Common People, etc.

I've heard Mogwai played at Celtic Park a few times, makes an immensely welcome break from the fucking Fratellis.

xxp if a compulsive highlight > right click > src in google tendency can count as knowledge then yes, bow down 2 the king of comedy

idk about anyone else but whenever mogwai are mentioned literally the only bit of their entire recorded output that immediately springs to mind is banernernerNERRRRR from 'like herod'

therefore that is what i imagined being played at celtic park just then, thanks for reading

Do they still play pre-match bombastic classical music at the Stadium of Light or has that fallen by the wayside?

Laurel and Hardy music wd be more appropriate

Isn't Xabi Alonso the new Pat Nevin these days anyway?

(though evidently Mendieta's just overtaken him)

"On the plane on the way to the World Cup Carlitos made me listen to their first two albums. I have to say I wasn't expecting much but it is some of the best material I have ever heard. They are absolutely amazing. Their songs are incredible. I would have to say 'Supersonic' and 'Live Forever' are my favourites. I have been listening to their stuff on my iPod dock in the hotel room, on the way to the matches and in the dressing room. I can't believe it's taken me all this time to finally listen to them."

In May 2002 and October 2003, he released two successful mixtapes, featuring his favourite bands. The compilation's title "Mehmet Scholl kompiliert – Vor dem Spiel ist nach dem Spiel" is a reference to Sepp Herberger's famous expression "nach dem Spiel ist vor dem Spiel" ("after the game is before the game"). In an interview, Scholl said he chose this title because he listens to this music before the game, after the game, in the car on the way to the stadium, and in the car when leaving the stadium. The first volume includes songs by The Beta Band, Sportfreunde Stiller, Jimmy Eat World, and The Notwist (complete tracklist) among others. The second volume includes songs by Oasis, Wir sind Helden, and The Flaming Lips (complete tracklist) to name a few. Once a month, he co-presents the feature Mehmets Schollplatten[11] in the program Nachtmix of the Bayern 2 radio station, which is the culturally oriented channel of the federal public broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk.

old news but worth mentioning.

I preferred his earlier work

also Rooney's a Merzbow fan apparently

Worst Taste in Music: Rooney put on this song before a game at the Euros which wasn't music, just noise. There was no singing and it was just weird.

nah I bottled a snarky reply, he just seems relatively decent. i said that i'd have gone for villagers cos i know a bloke who used to be in them, having realised i don't like anything on the list.

@GaizkaMendieta6 BTW you were amazing for my Real Sociedad team in an old Football Manager game - they built a statue of me outside Anoeta.

Remember reading an interview with pique and he was into bands like the killers, coldplay, rem.

I like REM, Coldplay and The Killers. There's also a song by Chris Brown that is called "No Air" that I've liked since my time at Manchester.
