KEANE

― the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:01 (twenty-one years ago)

well they're trying to break the busted single stateside, but it's so miserable!

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:02 (twenty-one years ago)

busted would be a joy!

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Keane seconded.

Maroon 5, surely.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:08 (twenty-one years ago)

The C to the Oldplay, the T to the Ravis.

Are The Rasmus British?

Jay-mee, Jamie Cullum.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Placebo

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:16 (twenty-one years ago)

the stands

― the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Beth Orton will get some play for those customers too indie to buy Dido.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Interpol

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Blur are working on a new album.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Interpol is from new york, though I do think they are pretty poncey.

― martin m. (mushrush), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Christ masturbating on the cross, I forgot about The Stands!

After The Rasmus, they'll be begging for Placebo.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Beth Orton will get some play for those customers too indie to buy Dido.

Is there such a thing?

22-20s are major ponce

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Are Hurricane #1 still at it? Stereophonics?

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:25 (twenty-one years ago)

[db get on im, fule. I'm bored at work and the chat must go on]

― martin m. (mushrush), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:26 (twenty-one years ago)

and there's always the next Richard Ashcroft solo album...

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:26 (twenty-one years ago)

ugh 22-20s

― the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:26 (twenty-one years ago)

The Stereos are, but I think Hurricane #1 imploded. (Their Faustian deal ended.)

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:27 (twenty-one years ago)

You Am I? (sorry, they always bored me, at least)

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:27 (twenty-one years ago)

ugh 22-20s

Exactly. Jim, always knew you had taste.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:28 (twenty-one years ago)

See, thing is, poncey Brit bands from the 80s are now far more enjoyable than 90s or 2000 poncey Brit bands. Are we just seeing an excruciating increase in the ponceyness factor that's decaying at the musical quality?

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:28 (twenty-one years ago)

You Am I? (sorry, they always bored me, at least)

Now, tis more like "Who Were You?"

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:29 (twenty-one years ago)

the poncey bands from the 80s had better taste

― the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Are we just seeing an excruciating increase in the ponceyness factor that's decaying at the musical quality?

I always thought ponceyness = lack of musical quality (or talent). Any exposure most of the poncy bands get is due to their publicist's desire to avoid the dole.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:32 (twenty-one years ago)

gomez have a new album soon.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:34 (twenty-one years ago)

how about the cooper temple clause? if i never see that stupid video featuring the guy turning into a goat, it will be too soon.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:38 (twenty-one years ago)

aww they're ok. they've got spunk

i'm surprised nobody has said BRMC yet.. even more surprised that strongo hasn't been subjected to them yet

― the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:39 (twenty-one years ago)

idlewild roxx u r all anti-ponce

― the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Gomez are NOT poncey teeny you nutjob; they may be many things (me and Miccio say "awesome" other fools say "weak") but poncey I don't bloody well think so.

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:40 (twenty-one years ago)

If Gomez aren't poncey, then the world has lost all meaning.

BRMC = New York? Certainly American.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:41 (twenty-one years ago)

2/3 of BRMC just really really really want to be British

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:42 (twenty-one years ago)

The Coral

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:43 (twenty-one years ago)

*shudders*

― the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:44 (twenty-one years ago)

BRMC = California (part SF, part LA) They just got dropped by Virgin though, so you might have a respite.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:44 (twenty-one years ago)

The Delays

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:44 (twenty-one years ago)

haha, yeah, I think the American wanna-be poncey Brit Bands are far more acerbic.

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:45 (twenty-one years ago)

aww they're ok. they've got spunk

but that video really, really annoys me!

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:45 (twenty-one years ago)

i wonder if he's been subjected to razorlight yet...

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

aieeeee

Lost Prophets

― de, Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:47 (twenty-one years ago)

i just realized it's muse that's the one i really hate

dude, shut up lostprophets are great!!

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I always assumed the lostprophets were a conscious rap act.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:57 (twenty-one years ago)

aren't they sports metal?

i was much relieved when i saw it was on daddino's 2003 pazz and jop

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 22:22 (twenty-one years ago)

it's like mbv X menswear -/- teenage fanclub with the lyrics by the guy from wheatus on E

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 22:22 (twenty-one years ago)

i feel so dirty and scottish now

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 22:22 (twenty-one years ago)

strongo listening to The Divine Comedy = bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 22:25 (twenty-one years ago)

shuddup!! IT HURTS

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 22:25 (twenty-one years ago)

its a good song. i saw in on the Target Video Network while shopping this weekend. the rest of the album has no use.

― christhamrin (christhamrin), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

A little more reserved and pretty, but I think both of the Montgolfier Brothers albums would qualify.. especially the vocal songs.

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 22:53 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't see strongo's workmates being that open minded

― the surface noise made by people (electricsound), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 22:54 (twenty-one years ago)

The new Beta Band perhaps?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 23:05 (twenty-one years ago)

okay for real sometimes I pick songs for my radio station based on how much you all hate them.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 23:43 (twenty-one years ago)

dude things like the divine comedy are why 120 million dollar radio liscenses are a GOOD idea

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 23:45 (twenty-one years ago)

"Gleaming Auction", #3 on that Snow Patrol album is great.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 00:16 (twenty-one years ago)

strongo you've not heard just *one* divine comedy song you've liked? ever?

― amateur!st (amateurist), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 01:41 (twenty-one years ago)

strongo i really feel sorry for you. i get to choose at my crappy record store job.. tonight:
1. japan "tin drum"
2. lee morgan "search for the new land"
3. duran duran "rio"
4. art ensemble of chicago "live in paris"

of course we didnt sell any.

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 01:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmm. I did sorta like the album before this one, so maybe...

Do they succeed? And does that say more about us or your listeners? ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 05:03 (twenty-one years ago)

ok I was drunk when I typed that but it's kinda true; if a big cross-section of music lovers gets excited about something or tired of something at least I know that song/artist has reached some sort of critical mass. And if it fits in with what my station plays and I think it has potential, maybe I give it a spin. I did this with Jaime, too soon to tell whether it'll take off but it's doing okay so far. I did this with the strokes back in the day! Also the rapture. I got to Norah before you all did though. :b

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 09:31 (twenty-one years ago)

critical mass.

Fuck the t-shirts - we need ILX robes and cowls.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 09:51 (twenty-one years ago)

two weeks pass...

i think in the entire time i have worked there i have heard the workd of two black folks - janet and felix da housecat. THE MADNESS MUST CEASE.

WHOA AH OH HEAVEN LET YO LIGHT SHINE DOOOWN

― cancer prone fat guy (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 5 January 2006 04:21 (nineteen years ago)

remember that one video where the chap was about to jump and then the dove landed on him

― gear (gear), Thursday, 5 January 2006 04:24 (nineteen years ago)

so he didn't jump. the sky was grey and then sunny.

― gear (gear), Thursday, 5 January 2006 04:25 (nineteen years ago)

eric clapton?

― cancer prone fat guy (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 5 January 2006 04:25 (nineteen years ago)

yes

― gear (gear), Thursday, 5 January 2006 04:25 (nineteen years ago)

the song was, "why couldn't a dove have landed on my son"

― gear (gear), Thursday, 5 January 2006 04:25 (nineteen years ago)

wouldnt that have just made him fall faster?

― cancer prone fat guy (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 5 January 2006 04:27 (nineteen years ago)

his song was young, presumably rather light. the dove could have carried him to a soft patch of grass

― gear (gear), Thursday, 5 January 2006 04:29 (nineteen years ago)

haha song=son, but that typo could work for latter-day clapton

― gear (gear), Thursday, 5 January 2006 04:30 (nineteen years ago)

a grassy knoll, so to speak

Their song 'Why pt. 2' was kind of good despite lyrics about kissing your sweet surrender or something

― 'Twan (miccio), Thursday, 5 January 2006 04:37 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I still like the hook of this one:

In the air I'm tasting your perfection
Forgive me dear for my misdirection
As I crawl beneath this torture you adore
I fall face to face with my scars you've ignored

So tell me why it don't feel the same
Tell me why I've got to feel this way
Yeah you leave, you're gone
And I'm left here with the blame
So tell me why it don't feel the same

All my props I swear they were in order
Even with the warnings of your thunder
Now I pause to let my silence scream tonight
Awhile you roam like a serpent satellite

― 'Twan (miccio), Thursday, 5 January 2006 04:38 (nineteen years ago)

All my props I swear they were in order

― gear (gear), Thursday, 5 January 2006 04:39 (nineteen years ago)

― 'Twan (miccio), Thursday, 5 January 2006 04:40 (nineteen years ago)

i was listening to that woooah let yr light shine down song on the radio the other day and finally realized that there is no drummer on that song but a cheesy programmed drum machine and i fell in love right then and there

― howell huser (chaki), Thursday, 5 January 2006 04:45 (nineteen years ago)

now i have to admit i want to hear it again

― cancer prone fat guy (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 5 January 2006 04:47 (nineteen years ago)

IM GONNA LET IT SHINE IM GONNA LET IT SHINE A HEAVEN LETCHA LIGHT JUST A SHINE ON MEHHH

― cancer prone fat guy (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 5 January 2006 04:48 (nineteen years ago)

and on that note i'm goin to bed

― cancer prone fat guy (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 5 January 2006 04:49 (nineteen years ago)

i just dl'd 'shine' and I never noticed the pumpkins bendy leads on the chorus. the rave-up comes from outta fuckin' nowhere.

― 'Twan (miccio), Thursday, 5 January 2006 04:57 (nineteen years ago)

I saw Collective Soul open for Aerosmith! They got to use the Aerosmith light set-up for that song and that song only!

― kingfish holiday travesty (kingfish 2.0), Thursday, 5 January 2006 05:34 (nineteen years ago)

After he goes "WHOOO-OH-AH-OH" and before he goes "HEAVEN ... etc" there is this little guitar bend which is just this lame Smashing Pumpkins rip-off move.
