you are lying.

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 10 January 2005 22:29 (twenty-one years ago)

because i know you watch car commercials and/or nbc's JOEY.

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 10 January 2005 22:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Das Yellow Swans
Hair Police

No I don't. I don't have cable and have little to no signal!

― .adam (nordicskilla), Monday, 10 January 2005 22:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't listen to the radio either (except for KMEL and KKSF, obv)

― .adam (nordicskilla), Monday, 10 January 2005 22:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Never heard The Arcade Fire either.

― .adam (nordicskilla), Monday, 10 January 2005 22:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh also still never heard The Darkness.

― .adam (nordicskilla), Monday, 10 January 2005 22:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Of the lists that Adam has mentioned, I think I've only heard The Killers (I think? I could be wrong though...)

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 10 January 2005 22:43 (twenty-one years ago)

We are not collectors!

― .adam (nordicskilla), Monday, 10 January 2005 22:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not a collector anymore, I re-thought my priorities!

― .adam (nordicskilla), Monday, 10 January 2005 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Excuse me while I blue sky.

― .adam (nordicskilla), Monday, 10 January 2005 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

i've not heard The Bravery but i cannot believe you haven't heard The Frnaz Ferdiand even if you do live in a retro RV permanently parked on the Golden gate bridge.

― Stevem On X (blueski), Monday, 10 January 2005 22:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I really haven't heard FF. I couldn't even tell you what they look like!

― .adam (nordicskilla), Monday, 10 January 2005 22:52 (twenty-one years ago)

They are Scottish!

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 10 January 2005 23:42 (twenty-one years ago)

...which leave me to conclude that they must certainly look pale, bitter and alcoholic.

― .adam (nordicskilla), Monday, 10 January 2005 23:50 (twenty-one years ago)

they want to look like Joy Division, but they just look like morons.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 08:32 (twenty-one years ago)

i have a never heard a fiery furnace or a bravery or that other one, but i have had that other other one

― charltonlido (gareth), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 10:14 (twenty-one years ago)

the killers album is so bad that at first i thought it might be a joke, but if i had a younger sibling i'd rather them to listen to the killers than limp bizkit or maroon 5.

the bravery... i dunno. i think they wear eyeliner, and one of them has a pompadour. i like the idea of that - new wave reclaiming the pompadour from rockabilly domination.

franz ferdinand don't deserve the level of praise or blame that they've received. i'm interested, though, as to why it's ok for joy division to wear stripey shirts and cardigans and ties but not them. was it realer, back then?

the fiery furnaces, i supsect that adam might like. a very interesting, eccentric, talented band.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 11:47 (twenty-one years ago)

is that madness above that joy division pic?

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

it's teh frank ferdinand! (view image)

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 15:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Lauren knows so much about BANDS

― .adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 16:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Lauren's posts are very reasonable! The only guy who looks silly in the Franz Ferdinand picture is the guy with the hat. Obviously, he's goofing on life. Similarly, I think you are on to something with the "at first I thought it might be a joke" comment re. THE KILLERS.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 18:47 (twenty-one years ago)

except that the fiery furnaces aren't really interesting at all.

― Felonious Drunk (Felcher), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 18:48 (twenty-one years ago)

It actually is interesting that that dude is such a surprisingly talented songwriter and arranger. I mean, compared to Elephant 6 style indie-rock psychedelia, the guy is a total musical sorcerer.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 19:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Tim whats Lucy's take on this dawson creek shit rock you like?

― ddb (ddb), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 19:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Dude, let me tell you! Every time "Take Me Out," "This Fire," "Mr. Bright Side," "Somebody Told Me," "Maps," "Float on," and "Y Control" come on the car radio, she immediately BRIGHTENS noticeably and asks, "What is THAT song?" She has referred to "Float on" as "Alright, Already" and "Somebody Told Me" as "Rushay, Rushay" (from that "rushing and rushing around" line). Really, she knows her shit. I mean you have the alternative rock station on in the car and A.F.I. or Social Distortion or Muse or Pearl Jam come on? No interest whatsoever!

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 19:17 (twenty-one years ago)

awesome

― ddb (ddb), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Tim,

You should publish Lucy's record reviews.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 22:33 (twenty-one years ago)

i want to have babies

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 22:42 (twenty-one years ago)

you don't mean that

― .adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 22:53 (twenty-one years ago)

adam i DO mean it. also i know all the good ways to get babies into me.

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 23:52 (twenty-one years ago)

gross

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 23:54 (twenty-one years ago)

cool

― .adam (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 00:18 (twenty-one years ago)

i bought that fiery furnaces ep today, but i don't think i like it as much as das blooberry boot. it has a couple good songs though. i really dig that blooberry thing cuz i'm fey that way. and indie art-rock is usually unbearable, but the furnaces aren't.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 01:35 (twenty-one years ago)

please, scott. usually we have the same taste, but i cannot see how that band is not fucking unbearable.

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 01:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't know i was gonna like it!!!! Maria got it and i thought it was gonna be her kinda thing and then i just kept playing it. It surprised me as well cuz usually the indie-band-of-the-second kinda thing means less then dirt to me. I like long songs, what can i say? and i do like the way she sings the lyrics. but i totally believe that they are a complete LOVE/HATE kinda band.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 01:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I was listening to Blueberry Boat a little today. That song "Mason City" is sublime.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 03:40 (twenty-one years ago)

i am so sick of this collective hatred of stuff. think for yourselves, noise dudes. i KNOW some of you AHEM like twee-pop. i know some of you rock out to euro-dance jams. the best thing about being an elitist is not be ashamed of yourself, because you're still better than everyone even if you do like further seems forever.

― Holly (an appletross), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 04:51 (twenty-one years ago)

i really like the Fiery Furnaces, in fact, I believe I was first to ever post about them here. Singles collection is good news because that's my favorite stuff of theirs, especially "Sweet Spots"

scott, have you heard the new lansing-dreiden?

― Roger Fidelity (Roger Fidelity), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 06:37 (twenty-one years ago)

the "gross" and "cool" responses rule, while the blueberry boat hatred drools.

stevie, back me up on this, will ya?

She means me, the rest of you can continue hating.

― Aaron Hertz (AaronHz), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 07:14 (twenty-one years ago)

4 reasons why i shouldn't like the fiery furnaces:

1. 74@7 P3RP3TU@ FUX0R L1K35 7H3M @ND 43 15 @ M0RON W174 73RR18L3 7@573.
2. THEY ARE ON THE NU-ROUGH TRADE.
3. 743 4YP3 USUALLY = CR@P.
4. THEIR FIRST ALBUM WAS MEH.

BUT . . .

― jack cole (jackcole), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 08:26 (twenty-one years ago)

HAHAHHAHA @ msp + jack cole

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 10:15 (twenty-one years ago)

first album was meh, yes. totally. but i love the blueberry boat.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 10:41 (twenty-one years ago)

did you like the cd that i gave you in the back of a taxi

― charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 10:51 (twenty-one years ago)

yesssssssssss

CUTTY HASNT.

― ddb (ddb), Friday, 18 February 2005 16:50 (twenty-one years ago)

hahahaha oh poor cutty. I loved haraunging him last night for listening to "shitty indie bands with teh hype."

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 18 February 2005 17:07 (twenty-one years ago)

the new killers video has eric roberts in it and a girl who looks like kate bloompsworth from blue crush.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 18 February 2005 17:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I like the Shins. It took me a while to realize it, since I'd pigeonholed them for so long as a boring indie band, but they're really quite good at what they do, which is sort of a quirky Wes-Anderson-soundtrack pop with fun, twisty melodies.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 18 February 2005 18:03 (twenty-one years ago)

No they suck.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 18 February 2005 18:25 (twenty-one years ago)

The shins are pretty good. I saw them pretty early on in their career (thanks msp!) and they were a lot more raw which was nice, I had no idea they were so synth-y on record.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 18 February 2005 18:27 (twenty-one years ago)

No they suck.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 18 February 2005 20:11 (twenty-one years ago)

no you suck

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 18 February 2005 20:14 (twenty-one years ago)

but seriously i guarantee that the shins are better than your band.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 18 February 2005 20:16 (twenty-one years ago)

FUCK THAT I HATED GARDEN STATE.

― cutty (mcutt), Friday, 18 February 2005 20:18 (twenty-one years ago)

YOU DIDNT AVOID IT DID JEW?

― ddb (ddb), Friday, 18 February 2005 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

U NEED TO LEARN TO READ RIGHT B

― ddb (ddb), Friday, 18 February 2005 20:23 (twenty-one years ago)

the shins are ok. they're not the killers at least!

― latebloomer: HE WHOM DUELS THE DRAFGON IN ENDLESS DANCE (latebloomer), Friday, 18 February 2005 20:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I agree with lauren and jack cole.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 19 February 2005 18:56 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...

I have now heard one song each by:

Franz Ferdinand
The Shins

Thanks for reading

― Victor Mackulous (nordicskilla), Monday, 21 March 2005 22:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Going back to my grime tent now.

― Victor Mackulous (nordicskilla), Monday, 21 March 2005 22:53 (twenty-one years ago)

What song(s) did you hear by these bands, Mr. Mackulous?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 21 March 2005 23:08 (twenty-one years ago)

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead
Dropkick Murphys
The High Speed Scene
Hot Hot Heat
Rock 'N' Roll Soldiers
The Bravery
The Donots

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 21 March 2005 23:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Dude, is she really worth it?

― Victor Mackulous (nordicskilla), Monday, 21 March 2005 23:36 (twenty-one years ago)

If "she" = "EA MVP Baseball 2005" then "YeS!!!!!!!!!!!!"

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 21 March 2005 23:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I saw the High Speed Scene live once. I thought they were terrible despite the fact that I'm easily amused.

Are all those groups in a baseball video game???

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 00:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah... I muted the music and play my own now.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 00:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Fifa 2004 plays me bad music too.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 03:36 (twenty-one years ago)

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 03:52 (twenty-one years ago)

― Victor Mackulous (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 04:35 (twenty-one years ago)

uh, i dunno? we don't use words like that in this country. and i'm referring to her best friend in ny, i think (tho lauren's roommate was here this past week and i met her and she's really nice! - we all called lauren early saturday morning).

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 04:41 (twenty-one years ago)
