No it wasn't
Ah well, I'm not going to try to get you into them, it's your problem if you just won't listen to good music


You don't mean *gasp Goldie Lookin Chain?!
(Eeeek.)

Hey, GLC are fun. Somehow I knew you don't approve of them. I only own their first album though...

Well, I can only remember thinking it was reaaaally cheesy. But I mean, that's why I hated Keane, too, and now I listen to them.
We disagree on so many musicians.

They are not MY kind of fun, thank you


So I've noticed...

Ah well, at least you like two of what I call my Holy Trinity, and that's something

Okay, let's check my favourite bands.

Radiohead - checked
Idlewild - checked
Interpol - ?
Coldplay - you said you liked them, right?
Libertines -
Oasis - ...
Zoé - you don't know them, do you?
Malajube - ditto...
Snow Patrol - again, you said they were alright?
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - No idea
Blur - "
The Smiths - "
The Rakes - "

Er, well, at least we both used to be big Vines fans, too.

Hmm, lemme see...

Radiohead - checked
Idlewild - checked
Interpol - rather like them
Coldplay - I like them VERY much
Libertines - no comment
Oasis - I don't mind their music, I even like some songs
Zoé - don't know them
Malajube - as above
Snow Patrol - I don't mind them
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - rather like them
Blur - don't mind them
The Smiths -
The Rakes - don't know them very well, so I'm in no position to judge



I wonder what you'd make of my list

Radiohead
Muse
Idlewild
Incubus
Clannad
Jeff Buckley
Audioslave
Lacuna Coil
Linkin Park ( )
Coldplay
(early) Pearl Jam
Alice in Chains
The Music
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Lostprophets
Dead Can Dance
The Cranberries
Enya
Tangerine Dream
Green Day
Alanis Morisette
Eminem

AND the jazz people:
Pat Metheny
Terje Rypdal
Al di Meola
John Coltrane



I've just looked at that incongruous collection and my teeth are beginning to hurt



Kinda shame it's "used to", innit.
Ah well...

No.


Oh, I actually liked it. I was always looking forward to it on TV.

I also had a, erm, Linkin Park phase.


I know the name!


Yes... I share that with you.

But The Libertines are great. I mean were. *cough*
Zoé are Mexican and sing in Spanish mostly, and Malajube are from Canada and sing all in French. If then you'd like Zoé better, I think.

Your teeth? I'm rather slow today.

I was going to say something about the Smiths being influential on all three of your top bands and then I already had Muse's cover of Please Please let me get what I want in my head. And then the Jeff Buckley cover of Bigmouth strikes again.

Radiohead - Need I say anything?
Muse - Oh well, I USED to like OriginoS and Supermassive Black Hole was catchy
Idlewild -
Incubus - I only own A crow left of the murder, but it's nice enough, and 11am is beautiful. Each time they play here I consider going for, like, a second
Clannad - Don't know
Jeff Buckley - I used to love him so freaking much but I havent listened to him very much in ages, sometimes his voice acrobatics are a bit, over the top, I guess. But still Sketches would have been such a perfect album!
Audioslave - I don't know them very well. I cant even think of a song right now. I think I found them ok.
Lacuna Coil - As far as I remember I know one song and didnt like it, but might be not so true after all.
Linkin Park ( ) - Oh well, I did listen to them when I was 13 and even then I kept bitching about how bad they were and only listened in secret
Coldplay -
(early) Pearl Jam - I really didnt want to listen to them for so long because everyone said Jason Wade stole his way of singing from him. Ten is rather good. I only own Riot Act though, because it was 1 euro, I hardly listen to it
Alice in Chains - Dont know them well
The Music - Cant one album and I cant listen trough it. I like the You Might As Well Try To Fuck Me EP though...
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - They're not bad.
Lostprophets - we had that
Dead Can Dance - Don't know them too well
The Cranberries - I used to think they were the same thing as Alanis Morisette, and last week I realized she sounds like Shakira. Eh, well, Cranberries always remind me of my childhood, but I dont listen to them
Enya - I loved what she did for Lord of the rings
Tangerine Dream - Dont really know them
Green Day - No. (Well, I can STAND them)
Alanis Morisette - When I think of her, I always think of Street Spirit Uh, not a fan but mostly I dont mind.
Eminem - He isnt bad. If I'm in the right mood.

I only know John Coltrane of the rest and like him.

Actually I also got some German favourites but I was rather sure you wouldnt know them.
What do you think about Lifehouse and kings of leon though?

Oh God, and Helpshecantswim! And Nirvana!
Er, I guess you dont like the Hives too much...

I meant all this mix-up above, you know, goth metal, Irish folk, jazz
It can give you a proper toothheadache, that
(at least it gives me, even though it IS my own list of favourites )



Oh, I'm sure you'd love Make Yourself! Check it out, it's my fave Incubus album, and considered to be their best anyway


They come from Ireland, and originally they played traditional Irish music, but over the years they evolved into a sort of pop folk band, although the word "pop" is doing them an injustice, as their music can be very trippy and...oh... it's difficult really to describe...
they are simply brilliant, that's all I can say



"rather"??
It's one of the best albums in rock history, at least in my humble opinion



Classic electronic rock of the 1970s and 80s
When I'm reading The Lord of the Rings I use them as the background music, and the overall effect is simply...


Believe me, you don't want to know

(I'm talking about K.O.L.)



Nirvana? Oh my... talk about overrated

Actually, I don't mind The Hives




He's awesome!



My L.P. phase goes on
Their new album is out in a couple of days



What the hell are we doing on their forum?

*slaps head*

of course. The Radiohead threads

I dont have 10, I only got it from the library when I was 15 and I liked it.

Make Yourself, okay. *mentally writes it down*

I meant, I KNOW Tangerine Dream, I just dont really know the music.

I had a one week LP phase, too. Remember that maths thing I found wrapped in a LP poster with Radiohead lyrics all over it. It was a scary experience.
I just really dislike the band, especially their singer. Urgh.

I still like the Vines. I mean, I especially like the band in a way, not just the music.

and obviously Nirvana are overrated.
But.. I mean, so are Radiohead. By some people and the press, especialyl some albums.

and get Morning View, while you're at it

Wish You Were Here is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and I mean by any band
(no, it's not a Pink Floyd cover, the title is purely coincidental )


*sigh


I didn't mean to say that I dislike them now, but my Vines love is definitely gone (It's V.V. that did it)


*quietly fumes inside*


I can only say that OKC is a bit overrated in that it's considered to be their greatest album

but it doesn't mean that their music as such is overrated, what with them being the greatest band in rock history and all

My brother used to play Wish You Were Here on repeat when I was young. *cringes* You might not think this is bad but once my brother liked a song he'd play it just toooo often. And he'd only sing this one song for days then.

Really? I like Vision Valley.

The Bends is also overrated. And sometimes almost KID A is, not in the sense of how good it is but in the sense of what a radical change they made and influencial crap.
I sometimes really dislike that I'm into so much mainstream music. Then again it shouldn't really bother me.

erm, and

omg.


Well, I only like about four or five songs...


oh no, not again!


The Bends = sheer brilliance and unrivalled awesomeness


Aaaw... my beloved Street Spirit

If I was in the right mood, I'd say that Jonny must be somewhere, er... down below


Wait... I've just said it

Awww.


But it still is kind of unfair.


I thought that until I listened to the Incubus song. It is definitely different.

I think I only knew a cover version of the Pink Floyd song anyway. Er... Was it with... Wycleaf Jean?

I can't remember.


For me it was just that I stopped listening to them.


The most ridiculous thing ever was that Q greatest albums poll from last year.

1st was OKC, 2nd was THE BENDS and friggin' Kid A was only the tenth of the albums.

The other albums weren't even on the list.

Hello?! Where are Amnesiac, Hail to The Thief and Pablo Honey?!?! They should all be number one if The Bends is second.

OK, OK... I should actually listen to it properly. But seriously, Kid A not as good as The Bends?! Hello?!? It's so brilliant.

The Bends is okay. (Compared to the other albums. )


:doh:

I have a problem with that song since February.

Maybe that's why I stopped listening to The Bends.

In what way? You mean, we shouldn't really be here?



Hey, what about the Radiohead cover of it?


Well, V.V. made me stop listening to them too, I can tell you


The Bends, Kid A and H.T.T.T. are ALL Number one, at least they are for me
(and not necessarily in that order )


Why, what happened?

Er, just what Thom said about it.

What, you haven't heard it?

I'll upload it right away


Oh that...
but it's not really funny, is it...




edit:

Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd cover)- Radiohead








(The above quote is from greenplastic)

That's why I don't like to listen to it anymore.

I think I stopped liking the song from that point on.

Thanks for the song. I'll download it.

OMG really?

I love it even more than ever!


Aaw, you're welcome


What's HE doing here?

Hmm... can I spam this thread a bit?
Like... with a gazillion pics just one tiny pic of teh sexxy Ian, or something?

Do what you like, we can still bitch about it later.

He is straight edge, too. Why do I say, too? Noone of Radiohead is straigth edge. That would mean Thom would have to stop drinking.


Oh my God, I love You and Whose Army so much. So much.

I don't think I will, though

I may go and bump that old Lostprophets thread instead


I DO hope he will, one day

I simply detest alcohol, ugh.




I LOOOOVE Knives Out
The best Amnesiac song and one of my fave songs EVER.

What do you detest about it?

The smell, the taste, everything


There is a band named after this song...


Hmm...

QUESTION: If you had a band and if you were to name it after a Radiohead (or THOM!) song, which one would you choose?

Now lemme see...
Which song title would make the coolest band name?

Karma Police

Treefingers

Lozenge of Love

Atoms For Peace

Packt Like Sardines In A Crushed Tin Box

Subterranean Homesick Alien


We Suck Young Blood!




(the last one would have to be a death metal band, obviously )

Treefingers sounds great.


Ooohh, Creep.

Or... You Never Wash Up After Yourself.



For one second I thought you meant... Never mind.

I've always wanted to be treefingers, you know...

(but I'm not going to change my username, no way. )








What, what, WHAT????

Wooooe really good information about this subject

I'm gonna do that now.



I've never actually done that.




And the whole band for a change.

Whoa... Joy Division




Ah heck, I WILL do it after all



Hey baby!








*tries hard to stay on topic*

Uhh...

I wonder if Thom likes them


edit: I think I'll go and post those pics in the Hot Guys thread where they belong

I doubt that Thom likes them. Without sounding mean.

Hmmhhh...

Haha, I don't think so either

omg he has beautiful eyes... and those eyelashes!


anyway.
Kinda shame Thom doesn't like the bands we like...


Ah well, we like his band, and that's what matters

What is his favourite band anyway?

Dunno.

He also likes Wolfmother... Mmmhh... Johnny Cash.

And loads of other music.

The Smiths and Joy Division.

Talking Heads, R.E.M., erm, Modeselektor , Clinic, ah *runs and grabs the NME*, Cajun Dance Party



Yorke was asked what single moment he would most like to be remembered for.

His response was 'How To Disappear Completely' from 2000's 'Kid A' album. Explaining why, he simply said, "because it's the most beautiful thing we ever did, I think".

This choice is not that of his fans. NME.COM users voted 'Just' from 'The Bends' as their best-ever Radiohead track in August this year.

Oooh, I forgot their name. Yeah...

And I can't believe I forgot the others.

Have you looked something up for art yet?

I tried... But I only found three things so far. I couldn't look at everything...

Eh, but, eh, we gotta go there now, right?
I looked something up and I reread it 3 times and still didnt get what it was about.

Are you okay?
I was so fucking bored yesterday so I was actually happy when Tanja called. We were bored together then. Then my brother came over and blabbed for quite some time, but i like when he does it, Then we watched Dancer in the Dark, that Björk movie. It was good.
Er, yes. And now I'm watching/listening to the Coldplay DVD. I love that band.
Oh yeah, wrong section.

A Björk DVD.

Well, I found some...

Athens vs. Berlin - From Ex to the Next [#9 MAP A]




ybdd & olaf winkler - Zero Non-Zero [#85 MAP A]




Arte Interior - News from Salt Lake City [#8 MAP B]





What do you think? Or have you found something better? I couldn't look at most of them yet.

He's still into R.E.M.?
Eek.


and what the hell are those other bands?? (except Talking Heads, that is)


Oh, I ADORE that song
and I love the lyric... especially that Liffey reference


Aaw, I don't mind a bit of Coldplay spam

although Thom probably would



Thom, I SO want to give you a good spanking for disliking Coldplay!


...which would involve, needless to say, handcuffs and a black leather outfit

Liffey.

The river Liffey and... Dublin



there's one more Irish reference on Kid A

I'm the first in the Irish Sea
Another message I can't read

(In Limbo)


He seems to like Ireland



QUESTION: What's black and blue and floats upside down in the Irish sea?
ANWER: An Englishman who told too many Irish jokes Thom Yorke



OMG that was sooo lame!

Modeselektor

Lostprophets

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnCoRn6B7ak

Strangest thing ever.

Clinic are proper good, very alternative though.

Has anyone actually heard Cajun Dance Party? I'm slightly offended but intrigued because I'm cajun hah.

I like Clinic. I only know a few songs though.

You are? Can you speak French?

You can always check out their myspace... http://www.myspace.com/cajundanceparty

influences: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Simon and Garfunkel, The Smiths, Radiohead, Portishead, Blur, Oasis, Coldplay, The Strokes, Air, The Arcade Fire
Hahahaha. That cracks me up.

Seriously now, this is just horrible
After about 10 seconds I just ran away screaming


and THOM actually listens to this?


I remember that

but it's not really funny
just... weird





SALOME, I LOVE YOUR NEW AVATAR!!!

OMFG!

WATCH THIS.

curioser and curioser...



I wish I could paint like that

*sigh




Hey, THOM studied fine art!

Shame he's never tried having a go at designing something...

...like a RH album cover, for example

I bet it would have been awesome

Eh, but he does the covers for Radiohead. Togethers with Stanley, they make all the Radiohead art crap.

"crap"?
I hope this is just a figure of speech

anyway, I'd like him to design something from start to finish and take the full credit for it

something like Roddy and the cover of Hope Is Important
