yannis gives you a shout-out

in the latest issue of oxford music monthly, nightshift, yannis of foals says...
"people call us a haircut band and a hipster band and, yeah, like you say, a get-rich-quick buzz band. but we have terrible, home-made haircuts, we're seriously uncool provincial layabouts, and after two years or so of touring we still can't afford to pay any sort of rent. i don't know why that kind of shit gets spread around. boredom, perhaps, or just plain, abstract hatred. none of us really mind, though. i don't know who's responsible. read the drownedinsound forum and you can see that some people will slate anything and everything just for the sake of giving themselves a boner, so it's not like we're specially targeted."

Nobody likes my band

Boo hoo. Go have a cry wank.

I think we've found the source of the

plain, abstract hatred.

europeancakeghost | 25 Feb '08, 03:42 | Send note | Report this | Reply

this cry wank thing

i've heard refered to as 'cranking', but i've also heard crap wanking refered to as cranking. so what is cranking?
i accidentally wrote crap wanking as carp wanking, what is grosser? carp wanking or crap wanking, carp marginally i reckon.

furryfan | 25 Feb '08, 03:46 | Send note | Report this | Reply

i always though "cranking"

was another word for wanking. as in "cranking it", no?

anyway, this should be an entirely separate thread on the social board. you'll get millions of replies

i'll give him a myspace message

see if he fancies wanking me off

A collaborative effort!

You could record it with microphones,

"(fap fap fap) FOALS BONER FOALS FOALS BONER (fap fap fap fap fap) FOALS BONER BONER FOALS BONER (fap-fap fap-fap) BONER FOALS BONER FOALS FOALS (fap-fap-fap deep breath) FOALSBONERFOALSBONERFOALS (fapfapfapfapfapfapfap) OH I'M ABOUT TO CUM, QUICK GIVE ME A HUMMER (HMMMMMMMMMMM simultaneous FAP FAP FAP FAP WANG BANG THANK YOU MANG!!)"

it could be their next B side.

In fairness I never saw anyone criticise Foals

until Crablin started a thread complaining about a backlash...

To be honest I think they'd do themselves a favour if they stopped claiming to be "uncool" all the time. Maybe they were uncool at one point but they're now very much perceived as a "cool" band by many in the music press & industry and it's disingenuous of them to pretend otherwise.

Sigh

I don't care about the haircuts, clothes or general aura about this band, I'm just not feeling the music all that much. Its alright, I just don't appreciate being told I'm wrong for not loving it.

That being the source, as Paul has aluded to, to most of the sensible criticism here...

the fact that they seem annoying and falsely self deprecating is a side issue to the meh-afrobeat-clean-tapping they music they make
