Now Now...

grimmertown:

Now back to the fifth spin of Three Dog Night’s Golden Bisquits today.

Amen to that.

cameronr:

Have you guys heard of this band Wild Beast? They’re pretty good.

Yeah, they are filed right next to Wu Tang in my record collection.

YOU ARE FUCKING WRONG

Merek presents several arguments in his case. I don’t agree, but I respect his opinion. YOU BE THE JUDGE.

I glad you picked this one Saelan - as I think it’s their best song to date. admittedly from their previous album.

The thing that’s really pissed me off  is that I don’t think they can be rejected as simply “not good” - they’re certainly “good” in all manner of respects. Whether you like them or not is a different matter. I will certainly concede that they’re a bit of a “marmite band” as they like to say.

i just really fucking hate to see them doing good work and not getting recognized for it. they are truly one of the few bands that come from Britain and sound like it. they wear their northern influences and upbringing proudly and correctly - celebrating the heritage of people like Jake Thackray (to choose an obvious example) without slipping into pastiche or cliche.

Jake Thackray is here for reference btw:

I come from a similar background I recognise stuff like the above in what they do and I fucking think it’s about time. There was good stuff in provincial northern british art and music. a fact that’s too often forgotten, and censored because it’s seen as unfashionable. and it’s nice to see how it spills out when processed through these young folks.

I really think that’s a rare thing and to be championed and cherished. People enjoy having it forced down their fucking throats by the Arctic Monkeys so I really don’t understand why they are sleeping on this band when they are far more intelligent and way more subtle.

I also think that this song is one of the only modern songs i’ve ever heard that might just have made the cutting room floor when Scott Walker was making 4. Oh my god! What heresy am I committing here?!

I certainly respect his opinion and admire his persistence but still think this band is not very good and/or not my thing. I don’t like Radiohead or Frog Eyes either.

They would be well received here in Montreal though, that’s for sure.

But they’re fucking nothing like what you are describing. You seem to be assuming that they’re real fucking hipsters and they’re absolutely nothing of the sort. I’ve played gigs with them and they were shy as fuck and really quite nice. complementary to my band (which just shows how polite and open minded they were - and I don’t mean polite in the fake smiley way). I really hate bringing stuff like this up, but it’s useful to my argument.

Musically they’re not hipsters either - I seriously don’t see them copying anyone or any trend. Frogs Eyes - bollocks, they’ve never heard of them. Anthony Hegarty - I can’t see it, besides he doesn’t have the sole rights on falsetto. Kings of Leon - get to fuck! that’s such a stupid comparison I can barely even counter it.

Plus, I wasn’t saying they were like Radiohead, I was saying that he was a good singer like Thom Yorke. I’m not a massive fan of theirs either. though probably more than you from the sounds of it.
