oh, and if you're from germany then the taste in music of your countrymen is definitely more cruel then of the people in croatia ( i mean david haselhoff was huge in germany, that i can never forget )..

HEY, don't say anything against Mando Diao!!! Well, but if you saw'em live once, you won't talk this way anymore... They're fu**ing GODS live!!! Believe me, I saw 'em & I'm gonna see'em a few more times this year...
You will appricciate their performance so much, that you forget everything bout the White Stripes!!!
And by the way: Hurricane Bar is a bit "poppy" indeed, but I wouldn't say it's kinda tacky... And their old LP Bring 'em In, I'm sure you will love it ; )...
AND if you think that Hasselhoff is bad, then you never heard bout Jeanette Biedermann or Sarah Connor (It's even hard for me to write their names down here!!!)...
But tell me, what do ya think bout the KAISER CHIEFS, I like their song "Oh My God", would ya advice me to get their new album Employment???

Hey, I hope ya didn't mean to paint a brushstroke over me!!! Just because I said, I like this one song... It's not my favourite, ya know. I also like "Unconditional" by the Bravery, but I don't think that I would appreciate the rest of their songs...
But U don't seem to know what's real mentioning Mando Diao in such a negative way...

So c'mon, tell me: What do ya like? Another great band like HOT HOT HEAT?

And by the way: "I Predict A Riot" is a cool song indeed!

Imonlydancing · 05-21-2005, 07:42 AM

woo, 'i predict a riot' is SO much better than 'oh my god'. oh and Josephine, nice signiature thingy, Beck...awsome. But back to Bloc party...they were supposed to support razorlight but didnt because the dates changed because Johnny Borrel was ill *shakes fist* oh well, maybe another time eh.

Josephine · 05-21-2005, 08:11 AM

Yeah, I've to agree that "I Predict A Riot" is the better one... So ya see, I'm always open-minded for a new...
Well, would have been so cool, if Bloc Party had supported Razorlight! They are gorgeous as well, I love "Up All Night"... especially "Golden Touch". AND (so U can see I'm already SWEDEN-addicted), half the band (2/6 to be exact) is Swedish!!!
Well yeah, Imonlydancing: BECK, he's pretty awesome (By the way: "Guero" is a great new album). Cool, ya recognized that...
And "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" is a real beautiful Beatles-Song, you prove taste!!!

PS: What do ya think bout "Staying Fat", isn't Matt Tong incredible??? He's got the beat!!!

Imonlydancing · 05-21-2005, 08:17 AM

Beck is pretty awesome, yeah 'sexx laws' is a great song. and 'Lucy in the Sky with diamonds' is also amazing. hehe....i prove taste!
yeah staying fat is good, and Matt Tong is great, i saw some guy who looked like him at a gig once...so we took a picture lol. whats your fav song off 'slient alarm' ?

Sneer · 05-21-2005, 08:27 AM

oh please, razorlight have nothing original or unique about them. bar two songs (stumble and fall and golden touch) their just generic guitar-led pop. now beck is class, odelay and guero are brilliant albums (shame about his efforts in between the two albums). if you want great, 00s indie try black rebel motorcycle club, sons & daughters, engineers, interpol, hot hot heat, the coral and pierre henry. and oh my god is a lot better than i predict a riot. yet both arent as good as everyday i love you less and less.

Josephine · 05-21-2005, 08:30 AM

Hehe, so the guy looked like Matt? Funny indeed... Couldn't ya post this pic? I would love to see...
My favourite Beatles-Songs are "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "A Day In The Life". THEY BEATLES STILL ROCK!!!
There're many songs on "Silent Alarm" I used to hear at the moment, bu my fav is probably "Positive Tension" (Although one have to see that "Banquet" is unique), I also like "Blue Light" and "Plans".
"Sexx Laws" is cool for cruising. You sit in ur car, u turn up the sound & u feel the beat!!!

Hey, that's only ur opinion! I think that Razorlight used to have a cool chillin' sound. There're songs like "Which Way Is Out" and "Up All Night".
The bands u mentioned are good indeed, I dunno much bout the Coral, but I like "Dreaming Of You".
And yes, it took quite a while for a new great Beck-LP, but wasn't it worth it?
Well "Everyday I love You Less And Less" is a nice song, but I prefer "I Predict A Riot".

Imonlydancing · 05-21-2005, 09:18 AM

hmm...opinions opinions....the coral are good, i like their new track. err...the pik of Matt Tong lookalike is on someones phone, sorry! but yeah....'everyday i love you less and less' is quite good. im not a massive fan of the kaiser chiefs anyways. but interpol and hot hot heat are class.
