The 'Bands I don't Get' thread (1 Viewer)

I actually quite like this Father John Misty album. It references a bit of a lost era of songwriting that always seemed to be on the radio at night when I was a kid. Or the soundtrack to Clint Eastwood drinking in a roadhouse in a film from the 70s or early 80s

That actually makes it sound pretty appealing. Must give it a whirl

Yeah, I was reluctant to listen to it at first and yet was cycling into work singing along to this track this morning.

That's always a good sign. I liked that Hollywood Cemetary track off the first album.

Haven't been wild about what I heard previously, but I really like that. The canned laughter is bizarre but oddly affecting. And the sitting/ standing/ cross legging etc. Cool

 

[george mcfly]

Why?

I really liked Nancy From Now On, but I didn't like the rest of the first record. Didn't think the new one would be my thing. It's brilliant though.

That David Letterman performance is all I know by him but imho it's beyond terrible. I get zero substance from it, for all its self loving bluster and knowing-ness. I suppose it doesn't help that he was in Fleet Foxes, another band that left me cold from day one.

But sure, different strokes and all that. I'm only talking about it because this is the thread for it.

There is a girl in work loudly gushing to everyone about the "great news" that Ed Sheeran is playing the 02

I'm amazed at the universal appeal of the guy and just how massively popular he is

It just sounds like Whelan's music to me

croke park I think.

yeah, hes awful, but seems a really nice guy

Well he did play there a couple of weeks ago.

Damning with faint praise, which I don't mean to, his cousin Laura's stuff is much better.

 

[Anthony]

yea, it's croke park. Now I have to resist not commenting on my relations statuses.... see 50 shades of grey and other bullshit.

I don't know what he sounds like. But it is also surprising to me.

He must be a big star if he's made Victoria's Secret knicker show though.

I read somewhere that he was the last puppet Jim Henson created

 

[Scientician 0.8]

Jinx Lennon...dosent sound like music to me

Go and see him live tonight in the Leeson Lounge.

I had some time to kill this morning so treated myself to a coffee and a bit of book in a cafe.

They had this insufferable cunt on the CD player at a volume that was just a little bit too loud, loud enough to cause me to keep rereading the same page as I tried to block him out.
I had to go and sit outside in the cold to get away from it


It wasn't this song but this clip epitomises the cuntishness that is this cunt

You should have asked them to turn it off and destroy the CD.

yeah, could you not ask them, as a paying customer, to turn it off (or down)?

I'm vaguely familiar with passenger. calling him an insufferable cunt is being kind to him.

 

[therealjohnny]

I don't like to cause a fuss

I just make my complaints here like a regular person

Waitperson: "How was everything?"
(me smiling): "Fine, thanks!"
(as soon as they leave): "Is your food cold? Mine is cold."
