Seriously guys, i'm really scared. Should i buy their debut album or should i first seek out their EP or maybe even their demos? Do they have a Myspace page? Seriously, i am sooo stuck, what should i do? Should i just fucking google them or should i try and telepathically contact Gareth and ask him if he knows what i should do with regards his band? Should i listen to them or should i not listen to them? Please help. I don't have sound on my PC so i can only *feel* Myspace. This helps a little, but doesn't give the full picture, ya know? I'm so scared that if i try and discover them myself, i won't understand what it's like to be a true music fan and to feel the true acceptance of the world innit? So guyz, where to begin? Can you reply to this by posting the names of every single one of their records please? Can you all have different opinions please?? Also, FUGAZI? Yes or maybe?? THANKSBYE

What order should i listen to music in??


Shuffle your iTunes!

Don't $buy$ records!

LET ME NO WITCH GET THE MOST PLAYZ


God me too - I am also stuck

My problem is I keep encountering musical debate and discussion on DiS (some people even post opposing views!) I can't even look at the threads on the left hand side without seeing people discussing the merits of one record vs an other (without even the bus stop girl stalkers for a bit of variety these days).

So who are these bastards who want to get into a new band and look for a bit of advice and discussion? Shouldn't they just man up and buy every single Fall album ever? Damn them. How can they be stopped?


Youre

sexy


I'm

too sexy for this thread
too sexy for this thread


So sexy I'm dead

or something.

Christ I need to go and get on with my evening


Start by clearing your mind.

First: Light meditation, I find, gets me warmed up and limber. A good short sharp shock to the temples, such as that produced by by an ECT machine, also does wonders for liberating one from the acrid tang of 'chart music' (music - ha!).

Thereafter, I generally warm up to the main event by looking at pictures of Gareth's significant artefacts: an asthma inhaler, a set of contact lenses, a Talulah Gosh t-shirt. I try to picture Gareth in relation to each of these, imagining how he relates to it as he goes about his daily business as an average man.

Then and only then am I read to move onto the entree - an interview with them in an underground fanzine. I note the deep humility underlain by sharp critical intelligence he and his cohorts possess.

Then, I put on their debut album, and am disgusted at what a shrill, anaemic blaspheming of yer whole C86 scene it is.

I then chuck it in the bin, and stick on DIOYY? while jumping violently from bed-to-chair and back. Which rocks.


You were doing so well until the end

Specifically that whole bit about DOIYY?, a band for people too young to remember Bedlam A Go Go.


haha


Dude

they're such sell outs anyways man I liked them when they were like more underground than they are now, they were like upper mantle level back then!!!


Let this thread

die alreadyyyyyyy


This needs bumping


Ha!


OH WHAT


you need bumping

off


OH WHAT


Just don't even bother

Los Camp SUCK.


Ha ha

Loving the anti sentiment.

Los Campesinos are fucking awful.

Please can someone defend them and justify their music? The guys playing actually sound pretty good but the vocals and the lyrics...

(is sick)


You two need to run along

This is a parody thread and any silly chat that misses the irony is not allowed.

Los Campesinos are an amazing band and i just feel really bad i used them as an example to make fun of people.

SORRY GARETH!!


Oh!

Nah.

They're terrible.


It's fantastic of you to share this information

Really appreciated, but seriously, run along.


Ha ha, the Tibet!

I like it.

That's my new style.


Revision

I dig the laydeez.
