John Maus from the Walker Brothers?

 

[oh shit]

It's a cynical hack article that did not merit the time it took to write it. However, there are defining characteristics to 'hipsters' that surely you recognise? I can tell you this much, it's just not punk.

go on, define them then

 

[oh shit]

John Maus from the Walker Brothers?

that's exactly what my girlfriend's ma said too

i would fuckin love scott walker to do a tour. maybe he could curate ATP

 

[nlgbbbblth]

Scott Walker tour would be brilliant - a Don't Look Back Tilt would be my ideal experience.

 

[oh shit]

See that's what I dislike about 'Don't Look Back' - I prefer a smattering of hits.

Tilt's great but then there's Nite Flights, the Electrician, the Old Man's Back Again, Copenhagen, Duchess, the Brel covers... I know Scott doesn't really like that stuff any more but he's sittin on a goldmine... somewhere in south London, apparently.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

Well the Don't Look Back Tilt would have to include a selection of other stuff either before or after the main set. But yeah - The Electrician, Mrs Murphy, all those

go on, define them then

I'd rather stick my finger in my eye.

Has anyone ever heard of, or like Little Barrie?

I'm supposed to be going to see them. Thinking of bailing.

They're a typical NME band, circa 2004. They're grand, a little throwaway.

Thats based on what I knew of them back in the day. I remember they came out with a great song (Free Salute I think it was called) that I heard when seeing them in a support slot (maybe supporting Super Furry Animals, I can't fully remember). I bought the first album on the back of that song and semi-decent gig. I've probably never listened to the album straight through.

But if it wasn't putting me too far out of my way I think I'd go see them play again.

they're pretty active on twitter these days. I was shocked they're even still going, so far balls to them for their persistence.

lots of people saying Bon Iver were great last night

what the fuck? do they have loads of songs that I don't know?

I figured they only played the O2 cos they'd have no bother selling tickets for it what with all the people suffering insomnia in this country heading along to be cured.

They have some nice tunes for sure but I've seen 'em twice and they were boooooooooring.

 

[nooleen]

those bands are shite and you're all hipsters

 

[CinnamonBoy]

I've heard a couple of Bon Iver songs and they sounded like Fleet Foxes being covered by Enya on Valium.
Not very good.

I think Jill Hives was at it, she's such a hipster it's ridiculous.

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Tame impala.
For the name alone.

DEATH TO FALSE HIPSTERS

 

[nlgbbbblth]

Hey now! I didn't pay for the ticket and it was a shite gig.
Soulless is a word I'd used to describe it.

Hilarious, nobody on thumped listens to music anymore

There was a lad on Glawd a few years ago - it's a Welsh rugby forum.
He was hilarious, millions of posts, trenchant opinions on everything, pisssed everyone off.
Turns out he never actually watched any rugby - he was too busy posting on the board.

Scott walker tour. What a concept.

I just wanna say I happened to see The Black Keys once and they were deadly. Of course they can play. Derivitave and maybe a bit pointless, but still great.

i'd have to take exception to music in its entirety being defined by a list of the worst hipster bands ever...
