postal service just barely toe the line between sucking and decency. and they only made one album, so they're not big offenders.

I haven't been listening to all that much music since this road trip began.

Yoko Ono is my favourite Beatle

I'm sure this isn't that unpopular here but I think Interpol are really boring and don't understand why people like them so much

I love this.

Shifty Prophet 06.30.2009 12:54 AM

LCD Soundsystem
MGMT
Interpol
Scissor Sisters
We Are Scientists

and the entire dance-rock revival is shit.

terriblecanyons 06.30.2009 01:30 AM

I can't stand Modest Mouse. I love Death Cab and Tegan and Sara. I don't get the big deal with Bright Eyes.

Yeah definitely. I mean even in the realm of 'revival post punk' or whatever there's better stuff than Interpol going on...I mean I guess I'm glad they got people interested again but I really don't get the fuss.

dionysusundone 06.30.2009 01:38 AM

Modest Mouse were pretty good up til the last album but I never really want to listen to them, even the old stuff.

dionysusundone 06.30.2009 02:13 AM

They were decent if a little unexceptional. I thought it was interesting that the songs that the girl sang (sorry I'm shit at names) seemed way ahead stylistically and in originality over the ones the dude did. I'm not sure if they write separately or not, but I'll assume they do considering the vast difference in quality. I DID like them, I just can't say I'd buy a record or anything.

-Henry Rollins was the best singer of Black Fag. Side 2 off My War is some of the best shit ever. Slip It In is an incredible hard rock record.
-GG Allin in one of the most interesting characters (don't think he was a genius or anything) in music over the last 25 years and made some great records. On "Always Was, Always Is, And Always Has Been" he's in the ranks of Darby Crash, Iggy Pop and Stiv Bators in greatest snotty punk vocalists. "The Suicide Sessions" is better sludgy noise rock than Drunkdriver, Pissed Jeans etc.
-Nick Cave blows. All post-Birthday Party projects suck. That junkie-poet. swap rock thing is one of the least versatle and interesting musical styles. Bang records sucks.
-Alice Cooper group (meaning when Alice Cooper was the name of the band, Dennis Dunaway was on bass etc) were better than the MC5. Love It To Death, Killers and Easy Action are awesome sleazy hard rock records.
-Television sound like a bunch of wussy art school pricks. They make Roxy Music sound like Motorhead.
- Early days of SST were better than early days of Rough Trade.
- Early 80's USA is better than early 80's UK.

John Cage is boring.

That's not unpopular, it's far-fetched.

Power chords suck.

DIY - do it yourself, a culture that fostered the underground music and show-booking and underground labels in th late 70's 80's. it is as much an aesthetic as a way of life.

shoegazer, originally derogatory term for bands that play gauzy wall of sound mope-rock, where all the band did was stand on stage and stare at their shoes.




thanks Rob_I. I figured out the DIY myself after a few hours but the shoegazers I had no clue I like...

Rob Instigator 06.30.2009 09:31 AM

The first interpol record (the first side) is fucking pure rock fabulousness

everything else is so DULL
