Telepathe. Are you fucking kidding me? I'm not entirely certain what aspect of this package of poserdom I find the most offensive - that their songs probably took less time than each song actually lasts to make, or that the first tune to grind out of their Myspace is just 30 seconds of that tune by TV on the Radio that everyone likes followed by aimless Fruity Loops noodling.
This is the musical equivalent of a Michael Bar film: One million brief flashes of a colossal, all-encompassing state of retardedness.
May god have mercy on my soul for listening to as many as three tracks, though I don't doubt that since they use the same formula for each one, I have as good as heard their debut album... which they'll probably compose on the plane over here from New York to play a gig at Catch.
ouch...
Now I nearly want to try to listen to them...
they do seem to meander for a long time
with no discernable purpose
On purpose trolling.....
you mean like Youthmovies?
:)
Youthmovies
are so dull they could send even the hardiest insomniacs to sleep.
if you'd have seen them last night
you'd be crying with regret for ever thinking that.
...
I've seen them at least 6 times over the course of their entire career. Each time I've left nursing a furious 'meh'. Was that the regret you speak of?
...
Oh, and the reasons why are thus:
- The bassist is gash and actually limits the songwriting potential of the entire band.
- As does the guitarist.
- The drummer is good but his kit always sounds like something that Lars Ulrich threw out for sounding too dead (i.e. like straight ass).
- There is a bit of their song that sounds good. You get into it. It ends five seconds later to be replaced by 5 minutes of pointless time sig changes. THANKS!!!1!
- The trumpet player. Like, what the shit?
i do apologise.
but i think they're fandabbydosa.
i didn't ask,
but now i can empathise.
I didn't notice the bass being that bad, he seems really talented and has a nice beard.
The drummer however I agree with doesn't have the most exciting kit but when he's playing the mental shit he does I don't really mind, I quite like time sig changes so we're never going to agree on that.
And the trumpet player is a blonde sam isaac.
Can I have a 10 point plan of how to improve Youthmovies on my desk by tomorow morning pls?
...
You can have it now.
- Bass player who knows something other other than roots and fifths.
- Drummer to be given a grand with which to buy new kit.
- Trumpet player thrown into Manchester canal with bricks attached to feet. Or... I guess I'd accept him just being relocated to band whose music could actually use trumpets.
the other day i brought a 7" single
after watching a band called Jonquil who I liked. the tracks on the 7" were a collaboration between them and youthmovies. I was told about this but I don't think I thought about how bad it would be. It's horrible.
Vampire Weekend
I don't get the hype.
M79 is pretty good, but A-punk and Mansard Roof, there's nothing to them, there's nothing to grab me, I listen to them and don't feel any sort of emotion except boredom.
...
Ouch. Down boy, down!
Les Savy Fav
Ooh! A jolly fat man! That'll disguise generic """""disco-punk"""""!!!!!!!
I live in new zealand at the mo
and i really dont like this 'band' called Big Flip The Massive. Teen boys havin a guitar-wank circa early 80s. Too wrong :( and theyre always bloody supporting the main act, which i wanna see!
