Is all the best music American? (3 Viewers)

[snakybus]

you can't rule out anything from anywhere though.

oh I'm not ruling anything out. I just noticed that all the music I had listened to, recently,was American.

It's the golden age of American indie right now, I think. Which leads me to believe that it's not the cultureless void Europe likes to think it is. Not yet anyway.

 

[snakybus]

well this is easily the stupidest thread i've ever read
i thought you were smart and shit, mike?

andrew

I dunno, maybe it's one of those threads that seems really stupid but is actually really smart?

you're sound, andy!

 

[Hector Grey]

I agree with Snaky!

Go on, the yanks!

They gave us Pavement, Talking Heads, Ben Folds (Five), Steely Dan, The Band, The Flaming Lips, Jim O'Rourke, Sparklehorse, Tom Waits, etc.

Please don't add to this list, as I have checked it, and it is complete!

ok. now. what qualifies as american.. the band were 4/5ths canadian. is ahnging around in america enough to quailfy you as american, like, uh, the thrills, or just having and american member like, uh, bobby pulls a wilson, or just sounding american liek uh, all your shit bands? i really wanna know.

andrew, you are right. as ever.

 

[snakybus]

I listened to "This must be the place" about 30 times the other night - over and over and over again. it was bliss. fucking love talking heads.

Pay no attention to them Mr. Bus, you are right. American is best.

Just don't tell Stunning! He'll be unbearable!

You're assuming that "music" means white mans rock and indie ? This is one millichip of what "music" is - but yeah, I think that the best rock bands are by and (ergo) large, American. Hail to the thief !

 

[snakybus]

no, "music" is what I'm listening to these days, and I'm asking other people what they think. I am asking the question is all - hence the question mark

yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look

yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look

He could probably do with getting a bit of dinner in to him so.

 

[avernus]

It is not these well-fed long-haired men that I fear, but the pale and the hungry-looking.

 

[snakybus]

I offered him a sandwich and he just grumbled something about going to Polonius's house for dinner

Not quite as lean and hungry as the others.

You obviously don't read the Lifestyle board, Andy

I don't buy many CDs, but Mike if you're losing faith in UK music you should get "Boy in da corner". Makes my hair stand on end
