Ooooh good call.

Was having a chat with someone this week about early 2000s indie landfill - now there was some real dross around then. Razorlight, The Pigeon Detectives😄

for some reason I took a real dislike to 00s UK indie band and artists

Razorlight, Franz Ferdninand, Bloc Party, Kate Nash, Courteneers, The View, Editors, Futureheads, Maximo Park, Ordinary Boys, Ting Tings

i'm sure folk will say the same thing about the 90s but for the most part I found it extremely boring

Any good Pastel? Saw them recommended in a magazine I read but not got round to listening yet

New single out yesterday is a bit twee but up to that been great guitar heavy tunes with the attitude missing from most recent guitar based bands.

Hopefully album due soon will give them push on .

[tshape]

Yeah there was an awful lot of crap knocking about but then for all that you had some really good stuff like The Cribs. I fucking love The Cribs.

If you like something, enjoy it. Ignore the miserable cunts who tell you you shouldn't.

There was a big thing about 00s indie landfill music; personally I think there was a massive explosion started by Arctic Monkeys pushing Rev & The Makers etc into the spotlight. Possibly helped by Xfm going national

 

Then came Mumford & Sons, Noah & The Whale and the whole folk thing to piss on everyone’s chips

Mainly 'one hit wonder' fodder that lot. I loved Brassbound the Album from Ordinary Boys though as I love ska it's not surprising.

Same Jeans by The View, Take Me Out Franz Ferdinand, Futurehead's version of Hounds Of Love, That's Not My Name by Ting Tings are the only good songs from the rest.

Maximo Park were alright, Mumford and Sons second album was nothing like the first and was pretty good but the trend had moved on so even though it wasn't a load of Nu-Folk it didn't get a look in.

At that time I really got into that Candian indie thing - but not so much Arcade Fire (Funeral is still a blinding ablum though) but loved Metric and Broken Social Scene's first album is still superb and Fiest as well. Then starting listening to Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea which sort of set out that sort of indie's rock music's template and still sounds well ahead of its time.

Also, don't get too sensitive if someone says they don't like some music. Doesn't stop anyone else enjoying it.

Yeah - i think they are shit. And I have done. As I say I think some folk are being a bit soft about some people not liking a band.

I think (as if you don't put than people seem to get the right old hump) they are generic, musically boring, been-done-a-thousands times before but better meat and potatoes indie that are plain in their songwriting and a bit cringy lyrically.

[Casino]

i'll give you a like for actually explaining

and the reason you say theyre shit would require me to be more into music than I am

i actually like em

not enough to pay money like, but its an easy listen

is speedquiz alan still playing with them?

 

 

ps most of the stuff you suggest we listen to really is shit

Go on tell me why - every band, every single, every album....otherwise you are just a cock 😁

yeah - I was ripped the other week for trying to get more convents to the King Gizzard cause with a mate I'd not seen for a while, ah well. Same with Thee Oh Sees - but they also have ferveous fanbases, and honestly, I'm just not that bothered if I like them, then that's all I need. I;m not looking for validation - I guess its like any hobby you like sharing (boring folk) with as many things that get you excitied as you can - like that Kelly Lee Owens release this morning.

Assuming aimed at me- it’s not being soft or sensitive about a band; it’s the fact you insist on telling everyone their tastes etc are shit. Then you go a condescending rampage. It’s tedious

I don’t give a rats arse whether you like a band or not, why can’t you comprehend what I’m saying?

I said Shed Seven are shit. You seem to have conflated the two, that's what's it seems you're not comprehending.

What? Pointing out how I think you might be taking my singular opinion on a band a little too seriously?

You keep pushing the bruise.

But you've not explained to be Lester Bangs style why. In which case pah! I am deeply offended with your offhand dismissal 😁
