Surprising...

That's something you don't see on every ride out...

 

But you do see it posted on every bloody bike ng.

 

Fecks sake, now I have to dig out my best of Van Halen cds and listen to
THAT instead of the Dave Matthews Band and Third Eye Blind I had planned.

 

You don't have to listen to any of them, you know. Especially the Dave
Matthews Band. Nobody needs to listen to that. Ever.

What would you edumacate me with then?

 

I've loathed the DMB since I first heard them a decade or so ago.
Allmusic describe them as "a more pop-oriented version of the Grateful
Dead crossed with the worldbeat explorations of Paul Simon and Sting"
which doesn't even begin to capture the sheer soul-crushing numbness
that comes from listening to them.

Where to start? I've been quite partial to the Raconteurs (v.
derivative) and The Postal Service ("supergroup" ahoy!) recently.
Neither of which are particularly exemplary, but I'd choose either over
the DMB any day of the week.

 

Tsssk, nobody got hurt. At least on the way back from the schleife (lots of
UK people there), one of my NL chums lobbed his brandnew SuperDuke in a
hairpin. He was getting into said harpin, some said: 'hmm, he's really going
for it'.... oh feck. Good thing the germans have biker-bounce-back-wotsits
on the armco's

 

"supergroup"? I really don't follow that logic. I have the Give Up album
(do they have any others?) It's nice and ambient, it's got lovely pops
beeps and whistles under some "la la laaaa"ing which reminds me a lot of
the Lightning Seeds.
I should admit that I'm a drummer and a fledgling bass player and I find
it very hard to get into electronica which doesn't have the impact of
Republica or that lot that did "firestarter".. Prodigy, that's the one.
My listening tastes are perhaps fairly immature. I get carried away with
examples of passionate musicianship, which seem totally lacking in
everything that's been near a drum machine.
I'd better stop wittering several lines ago. I'll stick some Rush on
whilst I look up who the Raconteurs are.

 

No I followed a link to Liveleak from another forum and then saw that

 

It's a side project for members of Death Cab for Cutie, Dntel and Rilo
Kiley. Hence the quotes. Raconteurs are also a "supergroup" with Jack
White and Brendan Benson.

Best cover I've heard recently is the Mark Ronson / Lily Allen cover of
the Kaisers' Oh My God. Corking.

 

..mp3?

 

I like most of the tracks on that album, but I can't stand LA. Every
sentence sounds like it's going to end with "whatev-ar! LOL! yeah
innit." The voice is good when the accent/attitude drops, but it's far
too prominent spoils it for me.

 

But that would be piracy!

I kind of have an image of a short bloke tugging at the edge of a large

So you have met Ogden then?

 

*fap*fap*fap*fap*fap*fap*fap*

 

Grim.

 

To DNC: I'd take that as a yes.

 

Choices, choices, so many choices.

 

Wot?
