Khar, you talk about the Artic Monkeys almost like they're a deadly weapon.
Surely they're more like a horrible plague?

I like to think Jeff is working on the greatest album ever of ever, and that's why we haven't seen much of him at all. Music just seems to be in his blood, he's been doing it since high school and in interviews with Jeff's friends they say he's always playing new shit and fucking around on a guitar. I think he's a perfectionist when it comes to music and he's just waiting for the right kind of inspiration. Even if it takes him 20 years, I expect him to release some sort of new masterpiece. But maybe it's just because I'm dreadfully optimistic about the worst things.

I have never actually heard the arctic monkeys or heard anybody really ever talk about the Arctic monkeys in meat life.


Am I missing some cultural wave or something?

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

Ben... I am going to subscribe to your theory.  Jeff is making us a masterpiece and it's only a matter of time. Yes. Definitely.  ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseletitbetrue.
I also like to think he's too happy to make music. I think most great art comes from unhappiness, and I also like to be optimistic so I decided that he's not making any new stuff because he's happy and life is good.  I feel a lot better about there not being new music that way.  </Pollyanna>

Seriously. Damn perfectionists and self-deprecating types.

The number of times I've heard people declare that they prefer INC is personally mind-boggling.

Johnny, I think you need to conduct a serious review of the people you talk to about these sorts of things.

Dogg these people like going to ska shows.

I thought ska had gone away by now.

No, I mean I literally thought we were done with it.

Someone gave me a Toasters album.  It's supposed to be the pinnacle of ska music, but it pretty much sucks.  Was this genre just universally awful?

See a smart move would have been to tell me it was a lost Beat Happening video or something.

haha that would have guaranteed that I never ever click it ever.  Calvin Johnson makes me want to vomit. I have little to no justification for this except that I hate his voice. I get annoyed every time someone plays the Halo Benders because I start thinking "hey this song is cool...why did I think I didn't like the Halo Benders?" and then his stupid stupid voice comes in.

Uh...not that you aren't perfectly entitled to like him of course.  Sorry. Small outburst of irrational hatred.

Kallisti, there were some other hints but I have finally decided we are mutually incompatible as people.

I, too, have come to that conclusion. Tragic though it may be, I imagine we'll both manage to muddle through somehow.

Impressive. They were even playing them on Radio 4 at one point.

I own an Arctic Monkeys album. Don't really hate them, but I definately don't think they're worthy of all the attention they've been getting. I just don't think.

Though I haven't really followed music long enough for many bands to break up (and for me to actually find out..), Fingertight is what I was most unhappy, and surprised, to see that they were ending.

Otherwise, I don't think any other band that I was a big fan of have broken up yet.
