Indeed.

I was preparing to share my love for Elephant Eyelash.

Now I just have to look nonplussed at the mention of another dull punk band.

Lame.

Maybe not best ever..but certainly one of the best..along with black flag..(and no im not obsessed with bands with 'flag'in their name)

i find it offensive that you have anti-flag and black flag in the same sentence.

anti-flag were pretty rubbish, yeah.
i wish my name was justin sane though.

*disagrees*...they have lyrics that mean something unlike all the indie/mainstream shite out there

And I quote

"fuck the world, Fuck them all"

Ace point.

Right, saw your profile

Ain't I the fool now.

Dans | 29 May '06, 13:47 | Send note | Report this | Reply

but

your quote is so very obvious. and stuff.

and why do lyrics need to mean anything?

I don't like it the way people go on about

lyrics being 'meaningful'. I mean it's all well and good writing songs that tackle big subjects, but really it's just an excuse to be self-important and snobbish. It's the way I used to defend The Manics when I was younger, and I cringe thinking about it now.

That might not have made great sense

Basically what I meant was that saying lyrics that 'mean something' are better than all other bands is silly...

Browno | 29 May '06, 14:02 | Send note | Report this | Reply

yeah

and fuck the world, fuck them all, doesn't actually mean anything. it's a pathetic cry of undirected and probably unjustifiable anger.

fuck them all? wut? starving children in brazil slums?

pfft.

give me songs about lazers anyday.
