psydoll Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I hate your "oh the hype' date=' no they're too hyped, oh nooo, I can't listen to them because NME loves them" attitude. I bet you secretly love them[/quote']Cowboy Dan's Listening To:Beep Beep, Death Cab, Miles Davis, Rilo Kiley, Thelonious Monk, Modest Mouse, The Shins, Desaparecidos, DNTEL, Pavement, Bright Eyes, The Unicorns, The Arcade Fire, InterpolI think that kinda shits on your summation of his attitude...

Besides he listens to other things - I've seen him in the Moorings listening to The Killers and Manowar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historicrocker Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Ahh, sorry I don't read NME that often... in fact it was 2003 since I bought a copy. I see now though. Hehe Manowar... would've never known Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psydoll Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I think it's exactly a year since I bought the NME...They put the news on their website so that's good enough (and free!) for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allstardawn Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 yeah.. when you're getting it for free, what's the point in spending 1.80 on exactly the same news? 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Commander Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I don't think I have bought the nme for at least 5 years! It's the same old pish every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen B Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 NME's only any use for reviews. After you've read it' date=' stick it in a drawer, dig it out after a couple of years and have a good old bellylaugh at how wrong they were about almost everything.Cooper Temple Clause...what were we thinking in 2003...?Anyway, Bloc Party; I've had most of the tracks for months now, and listening to the finished article, I must say my opinion hasn't improved greatly. It's very deriviative of Gang of Four and The Modern Lovers (there's even a song called This Modern Love, joining the pantheon of Richman influenced tracks by The Strokes, The Jam, Yeah Yeah Yeahs et al), and it just sounds soulless, joyless and formulaic to these ears.I get the feeling this album could be the beginning of the end for the indie resurgence. It won't appeal to the casual record buyer in the same way Franz Ferdinand did. There's a marked indifference when I play Bloc Party songs to a dancefloor these days. Chin strokers appreciate it, and of course those who genuinely love the band will dance, but there's no uniting force behind it that made the Strokes, Franz and The Killers universally popular.[/quote']I generally disagree with you i'm afraid. Although they won't "do a Franz" i agree. And don't diss the Coopers. Kick Up the Flames...is an extremely underrated album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
