I'm sorry Kent, I'm being a pretentious muso. I don't mean to be a dick.

But you can't mention you are listening to Clubland Super Xtreme Ibeefa Choons then expect people to take you seriously!

Sorry dude, I really can't help it. Music brings the pretentious douchebag out in me, please excuse me.

Edit: please tell me that Cher link is a joke? Right? RIGHT KENT!

I never joke.

A good bit of dance music gets me excited for the weekend. It's the type of music that instantly makes me feel like i can take on the world. One first pump at a time.

You can't possibly hate that ? Shit's the stuff of good times.

Oh I know. I'm pelting him with stones from my enormous and fragile glass manshion. It's all part of the fun! If Cher was as hot as Hayley though, I'd let him off.

(seriously, it's only music though, and I'm only jestin'. Kent is cool, I'm just messing with him!)

And it's an avatar celebrating Hayley's innate beauty, not Paramore. Come on Tash, you know this.

Edit: yes Kent! Duke and Disclosure are great. Aluna is damn fine too.

I also enjoy music, Music makes me feel great and really improves my mood.

I also like playing albums i used to love and suddenly lots of memories from that time period come rushing back.

This is one of the benefits of getting older and having a massive record collection. I literally have albums that I have not heard in over a decade, I love when this shit comes up on random. Times and places and people. Feels good.

Yeah I really like listening to music, but I've met so many idiots over the years that associate good music with obscurity.

I fear I may fall into this category but I swear it's not on purpose (at least, it's not conscious). For me, my favourite stuff is things I feel like I've 'discovered' or have had someone I really respect recommend them to me. I get turned off popular stuff when I feel that it's shoved down my throat, or when people I don't respect are super into it. TBH, I think this is Fat Kid Not Being Allowed to Play Football in the Playground syndrome - if all the normal kids are into something then it is by default not for me. I guess it's the same reason I read comics and play games - my friends didn't, so it's mine.

Yes I am a contrarian.

Give it a few more mins of eye contact then go say hi? What's the worst that could happen? As we discovered with friend Alex, people on trains can be remarkable receptive to conversation.

No I get the enjoyment of discovering a new band or artist which is fresh and interesting and recommending it. But I've met so many who would harp on about something for a while and the second they became relatively popular would denounce them as bad.

Now if the band you loves becomes popular and suddenly changes their sound/style to chase the money then I understand peoples frustrations (my gaming example would be COD). It's when that doesn't happen, and snobbery emerges simply because they became mainstream.

Yeah nausea's one of the possible side effects. Check out the little leaflet included with the pills, there's a bunch of info on there about side effects you might experience.

Man, I just got a McD's promo burger with fancy fries and a medium Cappuccino.

No wonder that company is loaded!

Oh man, Showbiz and Origin were great records.

Then Matt turned into an opera singer and they disappeared up their own arses.

I like emotive OTT singing (clearly), but man, he just whines, it sounds awful. Like he's really upset but trying to sing.

Urgh, no thanks.

The whole conspiracy/government taking over shit that has fed into the last few albums has really annoyed me too. It just feels really cynically motivated to pull in the type of people who followed KONY 2012.

Danke good sir, I think I'll stick with that name then. :D I was looking at a Korean Derby team site and found some awesome names like Run DMZ and Chink in the Armour. Man that second one would've been awesome. xD

And where's the site again? :O

I literally stopped listening to them a few albums back. No interest in their new stuff whatsoever. That one that sounded like Queen was pretty cool, Madness maybe?

My mate did this with the Arctic Monkeys. Whatever People (yadda yadda awful album title yadda) came out, I hammered it, we both loved it. It was this cool underground indie band, making their own success see.

Then a few weeks later, they were all over the radio, and had blown up big time. Suddenly he hated them.

Fuck that noise, listen to whatever floats your boat. I love those guys, can't wait for the new album.

R U Mine is so fucking good:

Hypermusic is my favourite track of theirs. That discordant riffage, the chorus, "I don't want you, and I never did, I don't love you, and I never will!"

Love it.

The first two Arctic Monkeys records are great, they lost the edge a little bit was alter records, too many slow songs with that tarantino tremolo on them.

I hear what you're saying, but I love it when he goes all crooner on us!

Did you listen to R U Mine? I think it'll be much more up your street, it's more Favorite Worst Nightmare than Suck it and See.

I love Suck It now, it's just a grower. It's like 90's Mancuninan psychedelia.

Since I don't really listen to the radio or usually go looking for music I've barely heard anything they've done since their first album (which I really liked). I was wondering the other week if they were still around.

I noticed the hate forming for them too though once their singles were being played everywhere.

Another blast from 2006: what happened to the Kooks? Their songs were played everywhere for months, they released a second album, then fell into an event horizon or something.
