Kumapix 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Listening to the new Beatallica - Sgt Hetfields Motorbreath Pub Band It's terrible but I can't stop listening. My favourite song so far is 'Hey Dude' Link to post Share on other sites
1 4 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Is that a Metallica parody band?! My Japanese friend has the new Travis album - yawn. I quite like the Linkin Park one though. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Have you seen that big tattoo he has on his back now. His name in huge letters. Good if you forget your name I suppose, or have an accident. Perhaps that is why he did it, can't think of another reason. Almost giving up on finding new stuff so have been trawling through some older discs. High Octane Cult is what I'm listening to now. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Yeah, strange kind of self love that tattoo. Probably wants to be on CSI. Link to post Share on other sites

spook 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 does anyone on here like bjork? i like one or two or her songs, but overall she doesn't really do anything for me. she's got a new album out and the music press are doing their usual fawning, and i just don't really get it. a whole lot of weird vocal arrangements that are pretty much unlistenable and entirely forgetable for me.

Kumapix 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 i always bought her cd's but never really listened to them much Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 i guess music journos have to fill their pages somehow. it just seems that every few weeks "the best album of the year/decade" or "the most important album in whatever genre" comes out. pfffft. don't believe the hype.

Let's face it, being a Bjork fan is just not 'cool' if you're a bloke. But --whatever --I think her music is a hell of a lot more interesting than most pop ....or pop that's thinly disguised as being alternative or innovative these days. She's a pretty weird chick so to Bjork. Link to post Share on other sites

charlotte 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Not as "cool" (or whatever other adjective you feel your tastes have) as the bands you like? Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I gotta admit, it always makes me laugh when people apply their own tastes in music to other's in terms of what is cool or pathetic. Isn't music (whether pathetic pop or not) simply about what people get enjoyment out of? OK, you could go down the old "real artists" or "artist integrity" line, but I say bollocks to that! If people enjoy music, no matter how main stream or artistically bankrupt the artist is, then great. Even if I can't stand it. Spook, this isn't aimed at you, you just sparked my comment I have some mates who are what I call music snobs. I tend to agree with most of their tastes in music, but the way they look down on people who have no idea of the so-called "cool" and "alternative" bands that they like, really gives me the shits. It's all personal. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 OK. You asked for it, and here it is in no particular order. It helps if you like blues..

thursday 1 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Soubs, I have not heard or heard of any of the artists on your list. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 BP, that’s bollocks, if we all agree about music, then there’d just be 1 CD and everybody in the world would be listening to it. Simply because we like something or hate something that is different to other people creates an endless market for artists to create and flourish. Most suck anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Soubs, I suppose you like Erasure and Backstreet Boys too I agree with Bushpig. I think you should re-read thursday.... his point was people being snobs about what is cool, not people having different tastes. Unless you were just being sarky. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm fairly catholic with music, but I don't listen to pop. I'm serious about that list. They are all "lesser known" but top class performers. We live in a wonderful age where the back catalogues are accessible. Hendrix used to put on his guitar when he got up, and took it off when he went to bed. He was a blues fan. Me too.
