I went to a free songwriting workshop one time put on by the Saskatchewan Recording Industry Association and played them one of my songs, "Pop Theory" (which, by coincidence, is available on my myspace free of charge). Submission of lyric sheets was a part of the workshop. One of the gentlemen running the workshop commented that a line of mine read like a line from Badly Drawn Boy. I wasn't sure how to feel about that, but when I got the sheet back he had scribbled dollar signs all over it. I took this as a good omen.
Oh, and Lorax, I have to say that your post reminded me somewhat of Peter H. Cropes from Achewood. While I doubt you are as homicidal as Mr. Cropes, your writing style is eerily similar, especially the bold, italic, capitalized "lavishly."

Awesome.
I give you any song they've ever done as proof.

Maybe you guys tick me off because I don't like your music? :oops:? ?ooooo that must be why I made this post. I wanted you to change my heart.? :-P

You need to stop being a silly person Captain Lorax.
If you'd read around more you'd notice that a lot of folk like the same stuff as you. If they don't....it's a pity. It's not worth losing sleep over it. Also, don't assume that if we post here we have read Questionable Content or that if we have it defines our taste in culture. That's a ridiculous assumption. I notice that your first post mentioned these bands -
--- Quote from: Lorax ---Best Folk Rock: **Loose Fur**, **Jim O'Rourke**, **Jim Guthrie**, **Archer Prewitt**, Badly Drawn Boy, Mirah, sun kil moon,
Indie: **Pinback**, **The Sea and Cake**, **Quasi**, Rufus Wainwright, MBV, Belle & Sebastian, XTC
Rock:**red red meat**, **Roxy Music**, polvo, unwound, can, jane's addiction
prog rock:**early genesis**, yes, ELP, king crimson
Other: **Joe Jackson**, kraftwerk, tortoise, adam ant, OMD, Nick Drake, the the, talk talk

I have several albums by all the artists I've marked in bold. That's a substantial crossover you and I have. The fact you enjoy risible crap such as Badly Drawn Boy and Adam Ant doesn't upset me in the slightest. You like what you like, just as the other people that post here like what they like. Learn to accept this and your life will be a lot easier.
If you really want to talk about the bands you mentioned above go to Electrical Audio. We talk about every band on earth at some point. In fact several of the folk in those bands you mentioned also post there. Just try not to be silly and you will do just fine. This forum is mainly for a younger crowd, whereas EA has an average age of about thirty.

Yes I am a silly person.... very silly, very unusual also
that list is out of date :/
I dont know why I put some stuff on there. I really only know a couple songs by badly drawn boy: cause a rockslide being my favorite because of the sound (I dont remember the lyrics). etc..
if I made a list today it would be:
The Sea and Cake, Archer Prewitt, Jim O'Rourke, Quasi, Red Red Meat, Tortoise, Arto Lindsay (even though I dont have much),
Early Genesis (there are 3 all around solid albums), Robert Wyatt, King Creosote, The Beach Boys, Rob Crow stuff, early Roxy Music, Pigeon John, Autechre (even though I listen to them less)
of course a lot of classic rock bands are my favorite but I dont listen to them as often as I should. I want more Cream albums.
need to listen to these bands more: CocoRosie, Manitoba, Rogue Wave , Unwound, Polvo, Caribou, Peter Gabriel, Starlyer 59, Ugly Casanova, Van Morrison, XTC, OMD, Lizzy Mercier Descoux, American Football, Howe Gelb, Wire
oh and regarding the thread I made yesterday, I think i was just upset at music and not you people. I might have been upset at the fact that I only get along well with very few people (which is sad to me because some people get along with just about everybody and it is sad because I wonder how the world is changing and I feel like the 80s and 90s should have gone on forever -- in terms of general music style/texture) ((Maybe the 60s and 70s too)). I will never like metal music (I think) (except for maybe judas preist or iron maiden).
also it's surprising how much music I hate :\

Wow, ain't you philosophicizzle.
I feel marginalized because I like Clann Zu. So far, nobody on even this forum has heard of them.
