Panic!AtTheDisco
Luke C:
I feel violated when I hear Panic! At the Disco. Same goes for the Artic Monkeys.

I had never heard them before now, but I must say, that was quite bland. I love the pop music idea of only doing anything remotely interesting during the bridge. That bridge had potential get pretty trippy, but of course, everything was far too restrained to be exciting.

maudlin of the Well are ace.

Give Kayo Dot a listen, for sure! They're less eclectic than Maudlin, but more focused, I'd say. A lot of people really resent the change from Maudlin to Kayo Dot, and I'm not really sure why. I find both incarnations to be very worthwhile. Also, are you familiar with Henry Cow, Fred Frith's 70's prog (RIO) band? I mean, since you listen to Zorn and all, thought you might know about them or be interested.

Yeah, I've heard alot of backlash about the switch, and I'm just considering the two completely different bands with different ideas/motives, I guess. Like when ...And Oceans made their name change.
And I love Henry Cow.
Speaking of 70's prog, more people need to listen to Atomic Rooster. They're delightfully awesome and totally never mentioned when it comes to prog.
Hat:
When I was in high-school, I would pretend to have not heard of any of the really popular bands.
I am glad that I don't have to pretend anymore. A Jamster Ringtones ad came on, and the only name I recognized was LL Cool J. I am not sure what this says about me.
In short, I have not heard of this band outside of this forum, and for some reason, the first thought that I have when I think of them is about Kool and the Gang.

Oh god, Arctic Motherfucking Monkeys. They are getting really hyped over here at the moment, and I just want to murder them so hard their grandparents die from sympathy pains. Jesus Christ.
I mean, there is absolutely nothing wrong with their music other than it being entirely bland and close to exactly the same in my ears as a bunch of recent "it" bands that have come before. What sets them apart for me is that the goddamn hype machine has revved up and is making these awfully favourable jangling sounds with their name attached. As a result whenever I hear Arctic Monkeys on the radio they are in my brainmeats naturally associated with the hard-sell they are getting, and I get all pavlovian-like, o my brothers, and start hankering for some lashings of the old ultra-violence.
edit: oh man, ok. Now that I've watched the videoclip I realise that I've heard this song before someplace. Don't know where, but whatever. Now then, how much processing does the guy want on his fucking voice? His voice sounds almost exactly the same as a bunch of dudes in these kinds of bands at the moment, which is probably the point, innit? The whole is very generic and would get pretty boring at best, obnoxious at worst after a few listens.

GUYS, I'VE GOT THIS GREAT IDEA FOR A FILMCLIP. THE BAND IS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND RITE, AND LIKE, I'M RUNNING AROUND IN AMONGST THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING ABOUT THEIR DAILY LIVES BEING BORING AND SUCH, AND LIKE, THEY CAN'T EVEN SEE ME THEY'RE SO DULL. SO ANYWAY, WE'RE DRESSED UP LIKE GYPSIES/CARNIVAL PEOPLE/BURLESQUE PERFORMERS/CIRCUS MIDGETS BECAUSE WE'RE SO MUCH MORE EXCITING THAN NORMAL PEOPLE, RITE? AND LIKE, HALFWAY THROUGH THE CLIP WE DO SOMETHING TO THE BORING PEOPLE AND SUDDENLY THEY BECOME INTERESTING BECAUSE THEY ARE ROCKING OUT TO OUR MUSIC. PRETTY COOL HUH. NO-ONE ELSE HAS THOUGHT OF THIS IDEA, YOU GUYS. LIKE, EVER.
