Fun Stuff > BAND
The recent popularity of good bands.
sp2:
No, but I do think it has everything to do with the fact they are completely devoid of talent but the singer still bagged Gwyneth Paltrow.
McTaggart:
I listen to music I like. If I don't like music, I won't listen to it. Even if this means I lose all my indie cred. If someone is shallow enough to respect or disrespect me based solely on whether I pretend to like some band or not, then I don't care much for their respect. Proof? I have never heard a track from the Arcade Fire, and if I did, then it mustn't have stood out much.
I will suggest music to people if I think they'll enjoy it. I'll burn or buy people copies of music they might be into purely because I like it when people are enjoying something. I'll listen to music people suggest to me (if I can get hold of it) because I'm open to new things. If someone isn't into something I like, I don't hold it against them or keep beating them with it until they do.
The only problem I can see coming from little known bands becoming popular is if they start attracting arseholes to shows. That's never a good thing.
yuff:
ive been an arcade fire fan for about 2 weeks lol

--- Quote from: Valrus ---And the more people who like Blueberry Boat, the better. And I formed that opinion before I read the fucking Pitchfork review, so just don't even start with me.
--- End quote ---
I read the pitchfork review and decided it sounded like an album I would like. Then I bought and listened to it and liked it. My appreciation of Blueberry Boat is somehow less authentic than yours.
sp2 miscredited me with some quote about indie being depreciating to the bands which are called such.
McTaggart:
When Pitchfork didn't find A.C. Newman's The Slow Wonder album nearly as awesome as I did I stopped reading the reviews. I still read other articles though.
