they're playing pitchfork thing now
they're so good! what don't you like?
I'm watching
this is the first I've seen/heard of them
it's the opposite of good
You're face is the opposite of good
possibly
is it the way the lead singer looks?
that is a bit off-putting, but they're a great band with interesting ideas and lyrics. give them a chance with some recorded stuff?
What's that got to do wth it?
Craig Finn looks exactly how I imagined him to look from his voice, I don't get your point.
it was a joke
you mong.
I'm just tuning in now
What have I missed?
George from Seinfeld
living out his fantasy of being Bruce with the E street band when in reality he isn't even making the cut for Bruce Hornsby and the Range
a couple of songs off boys and girls in america
i can't remember the track names, but they're like the first couple of songs.
not played Chips Ahoy yet have they?
they did actually
just before this song or one before that :(
Oh well
i'm sure the whole festival will be on p4k.tv by the end of next week
What album?
Why the sad faces?!
jackson.gif
:)
It's all about the lyrics, innit.
well
from the 2 and a half songs I've heard so far
is the lead singer a former lawyer?
There has to be something seriously wrong with you
if you don't like The Hold Steady
yeah maybe
but it's coming across as much clichéd Americana as Libertines is/was clichéd 'Albion'
Or maybe I'm comparing them unfavourably to the American college rock bands of my teenage years
shite.
I don't understand how people can just call a band sh*te
you realise that they are obviously a good band that knows what they're doing, maybe it just doesn't suit your taste, they're certainly not sh*te.
"How to tell a good picture from a bad one?"
"Look at a million pictures and you can never be mistaken"
i don't think they're a good band.
No
If I don't like a band, they are shit. And since we're at it - The Smiths were fucking awful.
Haha, fair enough
thats a pretty negative way to look at things.
err
THE SMITHS WERE SHIT
actually this statement is more apt.
oh you two
you're too young to understand
oh
contraire. you're too old to understand ;)
how many of their songs have you ..etc
http://hypem.com/track/570481/The+Smiths-Sweet+And+Tender+Hooligan
HIGH FIVE!
you're so right.
,
The Hold Steady = Most Amazing Band Ever
OK, no "ever", but they are good. I may, I stayed up way past my bed time to watch em now on P4K :P
OH God
My spelling on that is horrible, isn't it? Must be more tired than I think. I'm just going to go back to watching The Hold Steady...
worst band, huh
although 'spect to the bald dude with the 'tache
This Pitchfork stream is so good!
i quite like them.
good lyrics. not groundbreaking, but they have a good feel.
they played well at the HMV instore. i even had a beer with them after and they were very friendly.
hmm
well maybe I lived through a purple patch of American college/alternative rock
They Might Be Giants
Buffalo Tom
Pixies
Dinosaur Jr
Galaxie 500
Pavement
Redhouse Painters
Breeders
Superchunk
Medicine
Drop Nineteens
Codeine
Sebadoh
Weezer
I saw all these bands live between 1990 and 1994 so I guess my palette has been spoiled against this kind of thing
nah
it's just because the Hold Steady are really bland...
eh?
I can't quite work out how listening to any of those too much or too little those can affect your opinion on liking The Hold Steady, or not.
they are
so bland. dull music plus unbearably smug self-satisfied faces of band members = no thanks!
I don;t mind their music
but the lyrics make me cringe when you actually see the band
All songs go something like:
"Last summer we got really drunk and I would meet up with this one girl"
great if you are 18, disturbing when you are in your late 30's
