Burn him at the stake.

 

[iron yuppie]

I want you all to know that I have tried to like the music of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and have failed. Just didn't do it for me.

I'm sorry.

There's a ton of variety in his discography. I wouldn't stop trying yet.

 

[No spoken words]

I've listened to a decent amount. Some songs here and there grabbed me but no one album found me wanting to listen again. This was not my first attempt either.

It just wasn't meant to be.

 

[martha]

You're allowed one incredible lapse. This is that one.

 

[cobl04]

Has anyone else heard this track?

We've had a spoken word track and this remix in 13 years since Since I Left You. We're getting closer.

The Avalanches - Stalking To A Stranger (Planets Collide Remix) - YouTube

I'd laugh my ass off if The Avalanches dropped an album before U2.

 

[Danny Boy]

Yeah, I actually ordered that comp (compo?) from JB Hi-Fi.

 

[cobl04]

I love Melbourne.

I'm sorry.

I've tried repeatedly since the 90's and...nothing.

 

[No spoken words]

Glad I'm not alone. I guess it boils down to his voice, which I just don't find enjoyable at all.

Oh well.

Elvis Costello. Nick Cave. Yeezus. Hendrix. Dylan. All get love here, deservedly so, surely….and I just do not enjoy any of them. I deserve to die.

 

[iron yuppie]

We all have at least one artist we don't get that is widely beloved here. For me it's Pavement.

 

[No spoken words]

I don't like Pavement either.

 

[bono_212]

Something about axes, and mine, and you having it.

 

[lazarus]

If the three of you will just come with me...

Spoiler

 

[cobl04]

REM and Arcade Fire are the main two for me. Like em both, just not a big fan.

 

[cobl04]

I fucking love Pavement. Kings of chilled out, casual alt/indie/whatever rock.

Box Elder - Pavement - YouTube

Really need to buy a few more of their albums.

 

[gump]

Count me among those who don't share the Nick Cave appreciation. I love Pavement, though.

 

[martha]

Pavement; that band that did that damn Rooster song (Alice in Chains?), Daft Punk. There are others.

 

[lazarus]

Really need to buy the rest of their albums.

Fixed.

 

[Dalton]

So I've got a shit-ton going on right now - businesses blowing up for Mrs Dalton and I, two crazy kids, just bought a new house, pregnant wife wanting all kings of personal touches on the house that I am building, etc - all this to say the new Los Campesinos is carrying me through all these late nights. I love this album.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I don't like Pavement either.

Too easy.

Glad you like the new LC!

 

[Dalton]

You of all people should know, I don't trade anymore. Can't trust any of you white bitches.

Cemetery Gates is the best.

[PhilsFan]

I think my two favorites are Lucerne/Low and Avocado Baby but there's quite a bit to like on that album.

 

[Jive Turkey]

pregnant wife wanting all kinds of personal touches on the house that I am building

For safety's sake, wait until the house is structurally sound before entertaining this request

I have had too much alcohol on this fine evening to decide what punctuation (and where) would make my sentence actually make sense. Let it be known that I am not, in fact, building the house - only things for the house.

 

[cobl04]

I wonder what Shouter thinks of the new LC!

I wonder if we should bump the actual thread.
