What was he doing?

Ugh! If you hung around with certain hippie/alternative types (at least here in Finland) in the late 90's and the early 00's, you couldn't escape hearing his music... I remember feeling very alone in hating him, when everyone else in the world seemed to be in love with him. He's one of those artists who siphons influences from everywhere and everyone, yet ends up sounding totally bloodless and soulless and harmless. His stuff is like elevator music to hippies.

I like his music, be it in small doses. Actually, my favourite is the album with Amadou & Mariam, Dimanche a Bamako.

Apart from that precisely, which he just produced or something remote like that, SOFUCKINGDUD

slightly. clearly Manu Chao brings out the best in me.

He was onstage at Merriweather Post Saturday night.
Several other threads on him (with several folks saying they hate him because of his audience not because of his music)
Manu Chao RFI,C/D, S+D, whatever
who is Manu Chao anyway?
Manu CHao??

true, but a turd is worth a thousand words
― blunt, Sunday, 24 June 2007 18:48 (nineteen years ago)
Haha, it's the exact opposite with me: I hate his music, but I have nothing against his fans, since many of my friends belong to that category. Unfortunately this also got me exposed to his music much more than I would've ever cared for.

I like his more subtle music on his studio cds, and despite the formulaic nature of his thrash-ska numbers, even find those fun thanks in part to some of his vocal melodies(also live when he's jumping around his energy helps make his approach work).

It's gross that I liked Manu Chao so much when I was 19.
