The Kooks - an odd thing to notice...

I'd never bothered to listen to the Kooks, because they'd been advertised to me like crazy and I couldn't be bothered, but last.fm has just played me "A turbulence beat" and it sounds like a lost Kula Shaker song (no indian influence) also a bit like Suede in the guitars.

Its funny how its making me feel nostalgic!

dont taint kula shaker

crispain mills = visionary


you've misspelt 'deluded twat' there

its d-e-l-u-d-e-d t-w-a-t,

not, v-i-s-i-o-n-a-r-y.

easily done.


dont

ruin my memories of suede and kula shaker with these idle comments!

pleease!


Hey...

Weren't you in Evita Elaine?


Seriously

listen to that tune, or maybe don't because it might make you think of listening to other ones which would be a shame.


Another odd thing about the Kooks,,,

...is that on their single, 'Naive', which has driven me to stop listening to 6music, the singer vomits quite a few times during the track.

I've checked the lyrics and it goes:

"How could this be done
You're such a smiling sweet BLEEEUUURGH"

I can't be the only one to have noticed this, surely?


it was me

who vomited when i saw them live...


Heh

i'm not fond awuskin.


When

he sings that not fond awuskin bit, he sounds exactly like Martin Dear from the Green Wing would sound if he were singing in a crap indie-pop band.


my girlfriend says

that it's 'fond of asking'


ok

i'll get back to you


my girlfriend says

that he vomits because he is nervous about asking the girl, hence 'not fond of asking'. Compare Stan in South Park re: Wendy Testaburger.

this appears to be a watertight theory.


I like the Kooks a bit.

So there.


die.


My brother

Uploaded the kooks album onto the computer and hence, my ipod without me noticing.

Now i feel all dirty.


If you play

Naive with South Park on it looks like the characters are singing that song.

It makes the bloody song bareable!


wow

I'll give that a try


truly

the 'dark side of the moon / wizard of oz' of 2006


It's quite amusing to watch

actually; Cartman going "keep smiling SWEETHURTTTT" all X eyed and stuff!


aren;t they hot hot heat?

just changed their name and ripped off some razorlit songs?


ha

the razorlight comparrison is spot on.... tho everytime i hear his voice i see katie melua.... is that wierd!?


yeah

difference between kooks and hot hot heat/razorlight. is that hot hot heat and razorlight can actually write songs, and don't use strange elongated and distorted vowels as a gimmick.


a bit off topic but...

...there's a song on The Raconteurs album which is pure Kula Shaker. It actually made me laugh out loud when I heard it.


theirs

nothing wrong with the kooks...


hahahahahaha

you're clearly an idiot, for 2 reasons!


Naive has been in my head for about 3 days now. Well only the "I know that she knows I'm not fond of asking" bit. Whilst fucking annoying I suppose being able to write catchy songs is quite a good quality to have.

I've never heard anything else by them. The verse of that song is bad enough to suggest that I don't really want to.


singer fella

boffed katie melua. Apparently.

i can't think of a specific reason why this is relevant, but... yeah. he's horrible. she's horrible. they're all horrible. yays.


personaly

like the album

-gen- apparently hes had fern cotton too


He's a cunt

But looks a lot like Bob dylan.


i wouldn't


He's got stupid hair

like all these 'indie types' have recently. It's horrible hair!


the kooks

are fucking shit


Listned to niave

and actually LOLed at the "fondawuskin" bit, and the bit where he vomits. He actually does sound ill. Its funny.
Its even funnier knowing that he puts the whole accent on.


where you wrote "funny" there

i read "soul destroying"

this lot and hard-fi really are pushing the
boundaries of "music"

:|


speaking of kula shaker

(and i would really rather talk about them than the kooks)

i'm seeing them in 12days. retro fun time.

i realise this post is actually not of any interest...

*abandon reply*


^^rubbish

:)


Shut up elaine

Rabbits.That is all. Just Rabbits.


stop talking

junk

or ill have to go mourn :(


Actually no

Maughan, yes :)


you

knows it.

notice how its nothing to do with the kooks anymore.

my job is done here.


I knows..elaine knows..

iiiim not fond'a-aaaaaskin'

(Maughan about sex)


get

your

elbows

out

for

the

lads


Its not asthough her tits arent weird enough

I have her next monday.
Yup.
Have her.
Biology at its very best ;)


the vomiting bit

makes me laugh everytime i even imagine it.
Just imagine the band in the recording studio listening back to him making THAT sound, then as the lead singer grins his face off the rest are nervously giving him the thumbs up, too scared to tell him it was terrible.
HA hA HAH AH AH AH a
1!11!!!!1
