Random Music Talk LXI: In Which PFan and GAF Drink a Lot

[LemonMelon]

There's nothing more twee than chapstick and scarves.

 

[corianderstem]

Aw fuck, I'm twee.

Do I have to listen to Belle and Sebastian now? 'Cuz I don't really want to.

 

[LemonMelon]

Belle and Sebastian is a great band

I mean, I don't always want to listen to them either, just a lot of times.

 

[corianderstem]

I tried a few of their albums and couldn't get into them.

 

[LemonMelon]

They're not huge around here. IWB is a fan of them, which always makes me laugh. I never know what she's going to like.

This is one of my favorite songs ever:

"Seeing Other People" -- Belle and Sebastian - YouTube

I love that Vince Guaraldi piano they've got going on.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I love Belle & Sebastian. What's not to love?

Yes!!! I love this song so much.

This is one of those songs I could put on repeat and make you all crazy.

Purity Ring vinyl arrived today. Nice gatefold sleeve and marbled blue-green vinyl. Looks like the download code is already functional to boot.

 

[Reggo]

I always feel slightly, for lack of a better word, senile when I come in this thread. I recognize the avatars and screen names, but I have no idea what anyone is talking about. Can't decide if I'm proud of that or not.

I'm going to see the Black Lips in August and it's summer and I don't have to go to bed early and all that shit, but another fucking band was added to the lineup which makes like three bands and some DJ set. It better start at like 4 or I'll be snoring in the back and they'll have to carry me out to my car without waking me up. I should go to the gig in my pajamas.

Oh good, mine should be here soon then. I'm pretty sure I got one of those first 100 orders Polaroids too.

 

[LemonMelon]

Ashley bought our copy at P4k. The marbling is gorgeous, very nice packaging too.

 

[cobl04]

Let's not fight guyz. I too hate the fact that VW became flag bearers for indie music, because, as jt said, their music just isn't that great. All the people I know with more indie tastes think they're one of the greatest bands of the past five years, when there's many others making better music.

I love Belle & Sebastian. What's not to love?

The Scottish accent. That accent is horrendous and it has prevented me from getting into other Scottish bands, like Frightened Rabbit and We Were Promised Jetpacks. Just can't get past the vocals.

 

[iron yuppie]

Purity Ring sounded GREAT live, like a band with five times their experience. I'm definitely looking forward to the album.

 

[Reggo]

Green day's new single was released today. I have the sinking feeling it's not going to be worth the 25 cents in Amazon credit I used to purchase it. On the other hand, it could be amazing. But probably it isn't.

ETA:

 

[cobl04]

Hey I think I just got what ETA means - edited to add. That's been bugging me for years.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Friggin'

Can I say here that I wouldn't listen to Green Day for free?

 

[Reggo]

Can I say here that I wouldn't listen to Green Day for free?

I got about a minute into it, then couldn't bring myself to finish, it was too depressing.

I'm-a go cry myself to sleep, k?

Did you listen to it with a warning it would be bad? Sometimes it's better to live without warning.

 

[ryancoke71]

Just stopping in to say Happy Birthday Cobbler!

Are people who use Twitter to tweet celebrities asking them for a follow or a RT the most pathetic sad fucks on the entire planet?

 

[cobl04]

Anyway. Who remembers this song?

Eamon - Fuck it (I Don't Want You Back) - YouTube

 

[nielsgov]

Can I say here that I wouldn't listen to Green Day for free?

Haha yes. 21st Century Breakdown is one of the worst albums I've ever heard.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

I don't mind Green Day, myself. But I do remember not being much of a fan of them when I was younger, so I can understand other people not getting into them.

Anyway. Who remembers this song?

Eamon - Fuck it (I Don't Want You Back) - YouTube

Good lord, I do.

And wasn't there a female response song as well, if I recall rightly?

Also, echoing ryancoke, happy birthday, Cobbler! Hope you have a great one!

 

[Jive Turkey]

Says the guy whose shorts get tight in his special area whenever a rapper responds to his tweets

 

[cobl04]

I'm always joking about that though. (Kind of.) And I never write @BigBoi CAN YOU PLEASEEEEEE RT ME OR FOLLOW ME BACK IM A HUGE FAN IT WOULD MAKE MY LIFE PLEASEEE

And yes, Angela, the response was this, which is amazing because it's exactly the same song, except it's a chick singing and the pronouns have been changed.

Frankee - F U Right Back - YouTube

The original song is no work of art, but Eamon certainly won this one.

 

[martha]

Happy birthday, Cobbler!

 

[PhilsFan]

We did stuff like that in college without giving it a second thought. Somehow we felt like nothing bad would happen and somehow nothing ever did. (Don't do it, Peef.)

I listened to A Shame About Ray a few months ago when I was working on a mix for my nephew (the theme was songs that came out the year he was born). I quite enjoyed it.

Is there a rumor going around that I smoke weed? I do not.
