Why are the DJs talking like that? What's wrong with them?

They're gay. Homophobe.

I forgot to say you have to skip the first 90 seconds. Those two are fucking horrible.

I listened to that Foxygen jaunt today. It was good. Definitely hear the Lou Reed thing.

 

[Danny Boy]

I think the Mick Jagger thing is pretty obvious too.

 

[cobl04]

Bit of Bob Dylan at times too. They remind me of an Aussie band called Eagle and the Worm.

 

[u2popmofo]

I think the DJ's Australian voices are pretty obvious.

I have my last ever university exam in four hours. One more essay after that and I'm done with uni. I joined this site in year 9. Time flies.

At high school they told us uni would be the best years of our lives. I thought it was going to be like American Pie. Three and a half years on and the most fun I've had remains the pub crawl night during orientation week in first year. I've made no good friends - I've got some I chat with on Facebook, but none I'll call up to go out for beers with or anything like that - and aside from a few journalism classes where I had good debates, my best memories of uni are probably going to be driving to and from the place listening to music. (I fell in love with Kaputt doing that.) That's pretty sad. I've probably only got myself to blame though. When I started uni I was still attached to my group of friends, the group who considered things like joining clubs/societies or doing cool extracurricular stuff at uni as lame. I grew out of the phase about two years ago, but it was too late, as uni went on the backburner as I focused on my full-time job. Oh well. Maybe I'll come back later on as one of those annoying mature-age students and study Italian again.

Anyway, better get to studying.

If college was the best years of your life, you should probably celebrate graduation by shooting yourself in the head.

You have a very bleak world view for a hippie.

 

[cobl04]

IWB is not at all like the hippies tripping on acid I met at the festival.

Ladies and gentlemen, I've traveled over half our state to be here tonight. I couldn't get away sooner because my new well was coming in at Coyote Hills and I had to see about it. That well is now flowing at two thousand barrels and it's paying me an income of five thousand dollars a week. I have two others drilling and I have sixteen producing at Antelope. So, ladies and gentlemen, if I say I'm an oil man you will agree. You have a great chance here, but bear in mind, you can lose it all if you're not careful. Out of all men that beg for a chance to drill your lots, maybe one in twenty will be oilmen; the rest will be speculators - that's men trying to get between you and the oilmen - to get some of the money that ought by rights come to you. Even if you find one that has money, and means to drill, he'll maybe know nothing about drilling and he'll have to hire out the job on contract, and then you're depending on a contractor that's trying to rush the job through so he can get another contract just as quick as he can. This is the way that this works.

College was absolutely the Best.

Listened to the newest Van She album a few times today. Really, really solid album. Reminds me of Cut Copy.

 

[bono_212]

I have never heard of that group, what are they like, besides Cut Copy?

 

[cobl04]

I consider them generic electro. None of their songs have ever really resonated with me. One of hundreds of bands doing a similar thing.

 

[bono_212]

I'm just tired of "It sounds like cut copy" every time something has a beat or a synthesizer. This is part of the reason why I just can't enjoy that band as much as I'd like to.

Kinda like how Axver hates it whenever something remotely shoegazy gets the, "It sounds like My Bloody Valentine" treatment.

 

[cobl04]

I know what you mean. Cut Copy have a pretty distinct sound, in my opinion, that sets them well apart the hundreds of indie electro bands doing a similar thing.

 

[bono_212]

And that sound is early 90s dance music, they're not original either, they're just unique in the current scene.

 

[bono_212]

I'm listening to "My Number" by Foals right now, so I'll continue: They got the comparison to Cut Copy, but that song sounds SO much like Friendly Fires to me, and there are a lot of bands doing that thing right now, the band Walk the Moon as well.

It's one of my favorite sounds and I only manage to find a couple albums that sound like it a year, but they're always favorites.

 

[bono_212]

It's funny, as much as I love micro-specific genre tags, they just don't exist for other stuff.

Friendly Fires (according to RYM): Indie Electronic, Alternative Dance, Synth Pop
Cut Copy: Synth Pop, Electropop, Indie Pop, Electronic, Indie Electronic
Foals (New album specifically): Indie Rock, Post-Punk, Math Rock, Dream Pop
Walk the Moon: Indie Rock, Pop/Rock

 

[cobl04]

I've always found genre tags a massive bore. I couldn't care less to be honest. I don't understand how talking about genre is even interesting. They're usually so broad and have so much crossover it's pointless bringing them up. I've hidden genre in iTunes.

See, but, when they're accurate, to me, is better than saying, "that sounds like cut copy"

I missed this post originally, but it's a great one.
