I never fail to sharpen my pitchfork for white guys with dreads.
there's this one white dude with dreds i see walking around the west end of glasgow with his wife, a white woman with dreds. you can smell them before you see them. it's like weed, BO and herbal tea. they're both so spaced out i've been playing a game on my bike to see how many rings of my bell i can get in before they notice me and hop out of the cycle lane. 18 rings. i've also seen them walking through the park with a boombox playing bob marley at full blast and when asked to turn it down, they started calling them fascists. it's like Neil from the young ones, my dad and every stereotype about white reggae fans was rolled into one.mackerelmint wrote: ↑Mon Mar 28, 2022 5:07 pmI never fail to sharpen my pitchfork for white guys with dreads.
And that's why I never fail to sharpen my pitchfork for white guys with dreads.s_mcsleazy wrote: ↑Mon Mar 28, 2022 5:53 pmthere's this one white dude with dreds i see walking around the west end of glasgow with his wife, a white woman with dreds. you can smell them before you see them. it's like weed, BO and herbal tea. they're both so spaced out i've been playing a game on my bike to see how many rings of my bell i can get in before they notice me and hop out of the cycle lane. 18 rings. i've also seen them walking through the park with a boombox playing bob marley at full blast and when asked to turn it down, they started calling them fascists. it's like Neil from the young ones, my dad and every stereotype about white reggae fans was rolled into one.mackerelmint wrote: ↑Mon Mar 28, 2022 5:07 pmI never fail to sharpen my pitchfork for white guys with dreads.
I don't understand either. Take every local indie joke girl band and make it worse? I dont understand.mcbrandt wrote: ↑Fri Apr 08, 2022 12:40 pmMaybe this doesn't belong here, as I don't have conflicted feelings as much as I straight up don't like them, is Wet Leg. I guess I don't see what the fuss is all about. If it's just a joke band or a piss take on indie music, I don't see how it'll last longer than one album. This is probably akin to an old man grumbling 'get off of my indie rock lawn', or something.
I don't know what 'objectively' is meant to be but i started with Hail to the Thief and find the Bends and OKC bit boring now. It could be they simply don't agree with your opinion/unintended irony. Love thom's solo things admittedly have found it more interesting than the last album of RH.shoule79 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 04, 2022 8:59 pmRegarding Radiohead, I think most of the die hard fans are too invested to look at a lot of their catalogue objectively. It’s like of like Weezer fans who praise anything they’ve done post 2000. At some level I think they know it’s not good, but don’t want to admit it. It’s like conspiracy theorists, they are convinced that there is something more to the music that only they see.
I personally love the Bends and OK Computer, and really like Pablo and Kid A. The quality really started to drop after that. I wasn’t over the moon about Radiohead when those albums came out, because I was already listening to bands that were in the same vein. But they were still really good albums and I think they aged well. I think Thom Yorke really started to like the smell of his own farts and didn’t have anyone to tell him otherwise.
In Rainbows is their greatest album IMHO. That and Kid A and OKC are what I listen to most. The Bends was quality but looking back on where they went after it could well have been Stereophonics or Manic Street Preachers.jorri wrote: ↑Fri Apr 08, 2022 2:16 pmI don't know what 'objectively' is meant to be but i started with Hail to the Thief and find the Bends and OKC bit boring now.

Same. As far as I can tell, the only reason we’re even writing about them is because they’re being pushed very hard; it seems some people with money decided that they might make a great cash cow. I’m not sure how much you can even really blame the band for it.jorri wrote: ↑Fri Apr 08, 2022 2:10 pmI don't understand either. Take every local indie joke girl band and make it worse?

one of my work collegues was listening to them when i popped into the shop yesterday and.... i don't think i really "get" the joke. but they're being pushed SOOOO hard.mcbrandt wrote: ↑Fri Apr 08, 2022 12:40 pmMaybe this doesn't belong here, as I don't have conflicted feelings as much as I straight up don't like them, is Wet Leg.

I'd never heard of them but a recommendation popped up on my Spotify account. They really are being pushed.s_mcsleazy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 10, 2022 9:22 amone of my work collegues was listening to them when i popped into the shop yesterday and.... i don't think i really "get" the joke. but they're being pushed SOOOO hard.
I'll say one thing, and it's that nobody can sing like Jeremy Enigk. He's incredible.
