[MarkO]

[thelastgreatman]

Talking Heads.

[ThomThom]

MarkO you bastard, where the fuck are you seeing Nick Cave and Radiohead?

[Shuwstah]

. Also, if we're talking numbers- you're the minority again.

Intelligent people are also the minority in this world, go figure.

[thelastgreatman]

M.I.A. I cannot stand her. She is seriously the worst thing to ever happen to music.
Hot Chip. Fuck them. They are not very good at all.
The Streets. "Hi! I have a British accent and I am raping. Aren't I sooooooo indie!?"

Since when are The Streets rapists?

I'd rather be dumb as a rock than have poor taste in music.

[smoke]

...to each their own.

as far as live vs. album...i wasnt totally into the arcade fire until i saw them live. i'm still not a huge fan, but the live show definitely made me appreciate it more.

Good call, I am fucking jealous. You going to both Malahide shows or just the opening date?

[traviscanada]

I have a friend who for a good year or two period when I was in his car would play nothing but new Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Swollen Members.

Oh god, please don't tell me it was that arcade stadium album or whatever the fuck it's called...

[MarkO]

Just the show on the 6th which was added after the show on the 7th sold out. I'm popping my Radiohead cherry at last!

[rage patton]

Their music is like sexual assault against my ears.

[traviscanada]

Ya particularily the song Snow (Hey-Oh) or whatever....

But ya that album over and over, that and swollen members.... drove me nuts.

Hot Chip. Fuck them. They are not very good at all.

HELL YES. both these acts get so fuckin hyped on these boards, and they both suck ass. hot chip isnt really horrible, but they arent very good either, and dont deserve all the dick sucking they get by all the indie kids.

also cold war kids. while i dont mind the actual music, the singer has to have one of the most annoying voices ive ever heard. when he sings "hang me out to dryyyy" it makes me want to hang myself and die.

Fuck... There's always seems to be at least one friend of mine, no matter where I live, that's bumping that shit or Jedi Mind Tricks.

Oh ya and always cranking it up for certain parts.... "Did you hear mad childs line?" and having to rewind it so I hear it again.... Ugh.

[Sexecutioner]

ahahah, thats funny. i actually really like swollen members though, and wish they would play coachella.

Ya I haven't gotten rides with my friend too recently, so I could probably appreciate some of their songs again. It was definatley ruined for me for quite some time though.

[rage patton]

Did Swollen Members have any hit songs in the states? For a few years they were HUGE here in Canada. Like... pretty massively huge actually. Now they play country clubs.

[humanoid]

I'd feel ripped off if I bought a Chili Peppers CD...when you can turn on the radio and hear one of their shitty songs almost anytime

Ya they were played alot in Calgary, I am curious about the States too... cuz they were huge here.

[Bosco]

Wilco
My Morning Jacket
Death Cab for Cutie

New Pornographers

no, no big hits here. i only know them cuz i lived in whistler for a little while a couple years ago, and they were pretty big at the time. i saw them in san diego in a little club last year and hardly anybody was there, i felt bad. they put on a great live show though.

[flowbee]

Hot Chip

Agreed, cool name for a band but seem like a bunch of cheeseballs with little in the way of musical talent. I can tolerate a couple songs thats about it.

Portishead, just not my style. Sulky, film-noir sound. Disappointed they are headlining.

Kraftwerk - yeah they're "OG" but the outdated speak-n-spell sounds have got to get old after a while. They belong at the Smithsonian. I'll still watch them though out of curiosity. Some of their songs I like.
