singers/bands that clearly aren't crap (because lots of people like them) but who I clearly don't get because I don't like them.
- John Grant

For the record, he was AMAZING the other night. Let me know how the acoustic thing was, if you went/go. I have to say, John Grant dancing puts a huge smile on my face. Also, so does this video.

Stereolab are rubbish

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Shack. They seem like a band that might be popular here. I've been trying to get into them over the last couple of days but I find myself turning them off after a few tunes.

 

[dregin]

Daft Punk and Radiohead as above.
Killing Joke.
The Toy Dolls.
Blur.
Pumpkins post-Adore.
Henry Rollins.
All drone bands.
Hooligan.
Santana.
Most rap. Snoop Doop a Loop. Wtf has this guy done to deserve so much attention??

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

[GO]

Likewise..in fact..I don't blame dregin not getting any of them acts..but the Toy Dolls?

Lana Del Ray.

The fakest fake that ever faked. How anyone could feel any emotion beyond "i see what you're doing there and i'm not impressed at how contrived it is" when listening to her is beyond me.

shes trying her damndest to be really 'indie'. You should waste half an hour of your life by watching that terrible movie she made last year. Its terrible but at least it will allow you to say its terrible, having watched it, as opposed to saying its terrible, despite never having seen it.

Since it gets so much love I'll say it again, and Swans too. What the fuck like?

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

Go back to junior infants music, you need to go over the basics again. Swans are godly.

Stereolab have one good song. I think they were just lucky they came out at a time when you couldn't just listen to Neu! or Can, or whatever 80s synth music that had been lost in time, via Youtube instead. Or French singing. Once you could access lots of girls singing in French, with much better songs and music, Laetitia Sadier lost her appeal.

They're the most derivative twee shit imaginable. Strictly fourth rate schoolband.
Swans are just dull.

This was deadly though. And a No Disco classic
