you just like them

because you think it will make you cool. And it gives you something to make a post about on a message board.

'Some of my favourite pieces of paper are books.'


LOLs

babycakes...i AM cool.

i actually wanted posts that recommended others that i could investigate, you know, take advantage of this community of people who have differing opinions and tastes to see what they could offer in terms of what duos they like.

bite me.


Handsome Furs

Two Gallants


Yeah

Tight Meat Duo
Lightning Bolt
Pifco
That Fucking Tank

Plus Hella were way better when they were a two piece.


To My Boy

Were ACE last night. ACE.

I <3 Blood Red Shoes. I want to shrink-ray them and carry them round in my pocket. Bizarrely though, I searched on Faecbook for them, and I come up first.


That's because when you search it comes up with things you are in/people you know first...

...so if you have Blood Red Shoes in your favourite music you'd come first.


Shy Child!

They make me shake my lil tiny caucasion ass all over the floor =D


asobi seksu

silversun pickups

I saw both bands live recently and they sound better and louder then on record.

sunsplit


Fiery Furnaces are the best

BIG BUSINESS


I Was A Cub Scout

Two Gallants

Two of the best bands around.


Idiot Pilot


Oh yeah, I forgot them

Have they got a new album coming out any time soon, d'you know?


To answer my own question (in case anyone is interested)

they are, it's called Wolves, and it's being mixed at the moment. Awesome.


not sure.

I think I read a myspace bulletin saying they were in the studio recording stuff.


yeah but

idiot pilot are really really shit.


^WRONG.


i'm entirely correct

i really don't see the appeal.


No way

the album might not be 100% consistent but they're an incredible live act.


Ween


The Skaters!

Hototogisu
Ex-Cocaine
Blues Control
Magik Markers


!

Sparks! Department Of Eagles! Hymie's Basement! The Rosebuds! Bowerbirds! Holy Shit! Gay Against You! Money Can't Buy Music! Erasure! Pipas! The Postal Service! Suburban Kids With Biblical Names! Springfactory! Amber & Josh! The Handsome Family! We Will Build!

And am I allowed to say Harry & The Potters? Here's hopin'.


OH,

and Shampoo!

Yeaaahhhhhh.


of course!

Harry and the Potters are awesome! :D

"We'll spend are christmases playing Wizard chess!"


I LOVE THEM. I really do.

'These Days Are Dark' and 'Dumbledore's Army' make me feel all defiant and I start wanting to punch the air and things.

And 'Keeping Secrets From Me' is SO GOOD. Especially the spazzy keyboard bit. They're one of the most fun live bands ever, I think. And are exceptionally nice people.


I want you to imagine

me striding up to you, my hands clenched into tight little balls at my sides, a tight frown on my face. I sidle up to your side, and hiss into your ear:

"Don't you ever mention Harry & The Potters again."


BUT THEY'RE A JOY!

I refuse to comply.


why?

are you Malfoy?


He must be.

Let's get 'im.


yay!

"Expelliarmus!"


That did sound like a bit of a Malfoy-ish

thing to do, din't it?

Listening to 10 seconds of Harry & The Potters is like having the tweeness of the entire Belle & Sebastian compressed to the size of a 10 pence piece, and having it fired up the rectum by a powerful hydraulic propulsion device.


It's WIZARD ROCK.

It's totally real and gritty.

Especially when it's Year 4 Harry singing about how angry and confused he is.

There's even a conceptual hardcore 7"!


THAT'S IT.

Forming a band with Voldemort on vocals, Lucieus and Draco on lead and rhythm, and Wormtail on percussion.

Snape may or may not be on bass. It's just not clear yet.

It'll sound like AFI. We will CRUSH HARRY & THE POTTERS.


VIVA VOCE!

ignore the drummer, he's not actually a member!


QUASI!
