Bjork is a good one....I've liked some of her stuff over the years...and even own a couple albums....I just have never understood the fanatical love some have for her

I had no idea who that was. I just called him "Roberto" in my head.

Yeah. I'm not afraid to go against the grain on these boards. We don't all need to have the same taste in music.

[mandelbaum]

you are just trying to be different and are failing at it.

I'm not sure what that means.

[kreutz2112]

you're trying to hard to be indie and you are failing at it.

[mandelbaum]

you're trying to hard to be indie and you are failing at it.

Still don't know what that means. But thanks for being a jackass. There aren't enough of them on these boards.

[chacamicaca]

Depeche Mode
The Smiths
Sublime (although they've faded, thank god)

i go vomit now.

Excuse me... PFFFTT!!!... putting experimental and influencial bands like...

Portishead
Bjork
Radiohead
Pink Floyd
Mars Volta
Sonic Youth

...on a "can't stand" list doesn't show that you don't have the same taste in music as me or anyone else on this board. It shows you have no taste in music what-so-ever.

[chacamicaca]

Oh, and I forgot about the most overrated of all, crappy Oasis.

[paulb]

Daft Punk? I can see being sick of being people talking about how great they are....but there is no denying it!

[Ritestyl]

Kings of Leon!!!

[canexplain]

PF is going to hunt him down and post his remains on the board hehehe ... canx**

[psychic friend]

i dont care if people dont like bands i like.

[Ritestyl]

i dont care if people dont like bands i like.

and obviously, neither does Goldenvoice... WHAMMY!

[canexplain]

i dont care if people dont like bands i like.

i'm sure, basically i think you dont care what anyone says here in general, but if someone came on here and railed against say oasis or coachella and said lies, or whatever, i could see a reply or two ... i realize this is a job for you ... for us, its more (or less depending on how you look at it) .... if i had major issues with how this board disagrees with me on music (or life lol), i wouldnt come here .... canx**

[psychic friend]

and obviously, neither does Goldenvoice... WHAMMY!

i see the angle of the intended humor.



and ron, i dont care if people bag on bands i like. seriously.

and people can bag on coachella obviously.

[Ritestyl]

So far I haven't seen this question answered anywhere... Dani, has Goldenvoice ever tried to get The Knife to play Coachella?

[psychic friend]

yes of course

[humanoid]

seriously though....if we all liked the same stuff...it would really suck..we would never get to see any bands live, because they would sell out in an instant, or we'd be forced to see all bands we like at crappy big places like the Staples Center and such

Everything on that list except pink floyd and portishead is extremely bad music, and add sigur ros and white stripes to that list too. Who the fuck are you to say who has or doesnt have any taste in music. To me it seems like you are the one with no taste, fucking retard.

[Ritestyl]

yes of course

Cool, it actually does make me feel better to know you guys are trying. I guess it would be hard to convice two anti-social swedes to play in desert. Sonar got them though. Is there no reason to hope?
