Guest Gladstone Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 brilliant Americanism in your use of 'is', there! Unless you're talking about the song by Japan, of course.That's not an Americanism, it's correct grammar.Life Without Buildings is a band. There's just one band, so "is" is the correct word.

Moose Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I always assumed Boards of Canada were, well, Canadian! Biffy Clyro have to be in that list although their most recent work hasn't been as good as their first 3 albums. How many recent Scottish bands have Biffy Clyro as an influence? Many in my opinion, and surely that makes them an important Scottish band of the decade. It does seem a rather pointless thing to publish though.

givemeasmile Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 THE DYKEENIES?!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Sorry.Sorry mate, you started a thread asking for opinions and you got one.

RF Scott Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Sorry mate, you started a thread asking for opinions and you got one. Then you proceed to take the piss out of my taste in music? Nice.I didn't start a thread asking for opinions. What is it with people in this thread not being able to follow things?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF Scott Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Sorry I am obviously a complete and utter retardI'm not being a dick or anything mate, it's just funny that two people have gone on at me about things that I didn't say! I also wasn't taking the piss out of your taste in music, more the fact that someone would deem them worthy of 'best' Scottish bands of the decade - there are bands that I like, who I still wouldn't think of including in a list...if you get my drift...

Alan Cynic Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Agree......my favourite Scottish bands are off the radar by a large sweep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Ryan Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 They're a lot more well known than The Twilight Sad...Granted, you're definitely more likely to hear Camera Obscura on the radio. With stuff like press coverage though, I saw loads of interviews with The Twilight Sad in things like The Fly and The Skinny etc when their new album was coming out and there was very little of that kind of thing in the UK press for Camera Obscura's last album.I guess thats a lot to do with the target audience of those kinds of magazines though?

They're pretty massive in Spain and South America also. My only real point was in Scotland itself there wasn't a major difference in popularity between Camera Obscura and The Twilight Sad. Saying that, last time I saw Camera Obscura they'd pretty much packed out the Barrowlands so I guess they've slowly got pretty big here to.

vwlssknght Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 It won't be as good as the Keltik Komix version of his life story.Pierre, if you don't mind my asking, which issue of Keltik Komix are you referring to? I found this board, and your post, trying to track down issues of, and information about, the Keltik Komix series! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
