Okay, I wasn't knocking old music in general. Just people who only listen to old music and complain that bands "aren't like they used to be" and "all this new-fangled music is just a bunch'a hew-haw an' clap-trap! Jarn Lennon could'a done this in his sleep!"

Mmmhm. Yeah.

Oh yeah, and I do like old music too: Television, the Talking Heads, and so on. So there.

Well in the case of Oasis' material John Lennon could indeed have done that in his sleep and most likely surpassed it.

Blur were pulling better material out of their asses when fools were running around shouting 'Noel is god'. I'm not even a fan of Blur but recognise that they were easily more interesting. The only thing that Oasis played on was the fact that you could sing along while totally rat-arsed.

BTW do you guys know that the soundtrack for Pikmin was number 1 in the Japanese album charts! Waccy.

Yes, but here is the pearl of wisdom I always carry around in my pocket:

Oasis are ****.

They always were, and will be in perpetuity. No matter what any 'music publications' tell you, they're ****.

With few exceptions, MOST popular bands suck right now, anyways. At least as far as rock music goes- as far as I know, country, etc. is flying high (unfortunately, I do know quite well how country music is faring, living in the South and all. Bleargh.) Comes from nobody knowing where the genre is headed now- pop music has gone entirely mechanized, rap is becoming rich whiteboy fare and thus "pop", nobody's really pioneered anything new in the classic designation of rock music for years, and everyone's afraid of any version of rock not entirely experimental, since the label suits are pandering to teenagers who, they fear, might play one of their parents' REM or Sex Pistols records and recognize the hottest new whiner. So, we get white rappers, Creed, and the whiny, pissed-off nose-singers who slaughter their guitars in between complaining about how their parents don't let them stay up late and watch TV, trying to catch the essence of their target market. The bands most supported and advertised by the RIAA suits are the most stereotypically angsty teenager, and generally free of all the trappings of skill- they become the most popular because they're all we hear about.

hell yeah. I went to the main stage to see them at T in the Park this year, they were headlining on saturday night. I watched 4 songs, and thought to myself "this is dull" ; it was. I defied the 40000 people there and went to see Basement Jaxx on the NME stage. Who were brilliant, its nice to see a band who aren't just riding the hype created by an album out 7 years ago.

And not just because I'm their photographer, and they haven't paid me yet.

One of the best performance I've ever seen, is a toss up between the Jimmy Swift Band and Rythm Seed. Saw JSB at the Attic (its a bar in Halifax). ****in phenominal. They played one song for 25 minutes, and it wasnt the same goddamn thing over and over. I saw Rythm seed at this coffee shop in Chester (in the middle of ****in nowhere), these guys are just damn good....

cat's on Mars is funny

sounds a lot like a music from Escaflown (which, incidently, happens to have "cat" in the title too ).
Blue Bird, I have an idea of using this busic as BGM for a space battle ani, w/o any sounds effect, just this music ( one of my countless projects that won't be done before, pfff, oula, at least that

)

My friend described Cat's on Mars like this:

It's a "bang your head to the wall" song

Kamikaze · **Reply #95 on:** July 20, 2002, 03:03:24 am

yay a music thread!!

I recommend Bach - 1st con..... errr... I mean I recommend some quality Nobuo Uematsu music, preferably orchestrated

Away from game music, DA PUMP is cool

(oh, and some gundam music is catchy.... like virtu likes White Reflections, I prefer stuff from Yonekura Chihiro)

*tries to recall*

Is that Hiding Place?

Personally, I really like A Moern Way of Letting Go, and (I Am) What I am Not. It's like old droney Idlewild man, but with...err, tunes.

Don't get me wrong, I like 100 Broken Windows too. There's a corvette in BWO called the Idlewild.
