I prefer people to not listen to ornette coleman at all, but I catch your drift

Rank equally at number one. That is.

I never did like Neutral Milk Hotel, except IAOTS. That one nearly made me cry. But, ah hell, I couldn't cry cause I'm a dick and all.

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:42 (seventeen years ago) link

sorry Nathalie, you're not a dick! maybe my OWN taste is a bit too correct. it's worth thinking about!

sorry sorry sorry

Oh, hell, I was being trollish. I'm probably too self-aware of my own inconsistent taste. lejospopo@gmail.com, I'm probably just jealous cause I was listening to Ocean Colour Scene and Paul Weller at your age. *roffle*

why is akron/family so good you guys

and will they ever play anywhere near here

THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS THAT FILL BORING TUESDAY AFTERNOONS AT WORK

― bernard snow (sixteen sergeants), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:49 (seventeen years ago) link

it is tuesday right?

― bernard snow (sixteen sergeants), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:50 (seventeen years ago) link

C'mere, the list is probably on the sedate side. Mainly due to the butchering the last 19year old got. (See ABOVE!). I'm not really trying to impress anyone, I just figured it was so everyone knew pretty much where everyone else stood on general things without having to wait for it to emerge. I wasn't really putting it there for scrutiny. And I prefer Psychocandy to Loveless. So there.

― from The ends of your fingers (prosper.strummer.), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Wait, no LOVELESS over Psychocandy. I think. (MBV?)

My second chance to use this!

muahahaha

― Major Alfonso (Major Alfonso), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:51 (seventeen years ago) link

MBV, yes. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:52 (seventeen years ago) link

And I STILL haven't even heard Akron/Family.

― from The ends of your fingers (prosper.strummer.), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:52 (seventeen years ago) link

more for the rest of us

― bernard snow (sixteen sergeants), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Aren't people already being influenced by them?

― from The ends of your fingers (prosper.strummer.), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:53 (seventeen years ago) link

But I like Sufjan too. I burnt Illinois for about five people at college and they all now claim it is their favourite album ever.

― from The ends of your fingers (prosper.strummer.), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:54 (seventeen years ago) link

truth is, i didn't think it was THAT eclectic a list but i thought it would be welcoming to say it was and i was trying to pre-empt the haters, ILM being what it is now.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:56 (seventeen years ago) link

(seriously though, check out "Running, Returning" or "Shoes" or "Future Myth" or just go ahead and buy both albums. it's like The Jungle Book with the Flaming Lips as Mowgli, Animal Collective as Baloo, and Radiohead as that creepy snake)

― bernard snow (sixteen sergeants), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I keep meaning to dammit! I've got a heap of indie stuff I've been catching up with lately, (Imperial Teen totally passed me by and I was never really that bothered by Devendra or Yo La Tengo and until lately, see, boring bastard) It makes sense now. I was pretty surprised that people actually thought it was eclectic. I just meant I'd LIKE to think it was. But I know that's not true. Italo is something I never woulda come across outside of this place, so I was really hoping I could broaden my horizons. There's no point limiting yourself to New Weird-lite and Indie Pop unless you know that's all you like. And I don't know that.

― from The ends of your fingers (prosper.strummer.), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 20:02 (seventeen years ago) link

And I'm a 19 year old art student. I'm supposed to be self concious.

Quite right. You're doing fine -- just never stop discovering things and surprising yourself.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 20:07 (seventeen years ago) link

seeing Akron/Family labelled as "New Weird-lite" has caused a wave of nausea to wash over me, which can only be reversed by listening to more Akron/Family

― bernard snow (sixteen sergeants), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 20:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I NEVER called Akron Family that. I couldn't. I meant my own tast of Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom. I told you. I've never heard Akron/Family only heard of them. I couldn't label something I've never heard. Sorry if that was unclear.

― from The ends of your fingers (prosper.strummer.), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 20:15 (seventeen years ago) link

no, it's okay, I'm starting to think the nausea may have been delayed-reaction heatstroke

the important thing is, thanks to you I am now listening to Akron/Family again for, like, the eighth time in the past two days

― bernard snow (sixteen sergeants), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 20:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Um... don't mention it.

― from The ends of your fingers (prosper.strummer.), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 20:20 (seventeen years ago) link

b-but I already--!

― bernard snow (sixteen sergeants), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 20:21 (seventeen years ago) link

this board is truly a weird place sometimes

― rizzx (Rizz), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 20:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Shit, right. Now you've really peaked my interest in Akron/Family. They were in my get round to them eventually list. I still haven't heard this new Aleesha from Misteeq song for chrissakes, and I kinda implied I had by arguing about it elsewhere. Something I'm never doing again btw (pointless? I think so.) Hang on while I at least myspace them.

― from The ends of your fingers (prosper.strummer.), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 20:24 (seventeen years ago) link

to myspace is a verb now? I fear for the future...

― Major Alfonso (Major Alfonso), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 20:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Well... it must be. Right?

― from The ends of your fingers (prosper.strummer.), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 20:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Let me google that.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 20:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah, I DID try that before. Fucking thing won't play!

― from The ends of your fingers (prosper.strummer.), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 20:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Late to thread, but all the talk of GAA shirt rock - Tom Dunne should do a compilation - reminds of a Hothouse Flowers story from their 'heyday'. Big baggy black T- shirts with long sleeves were the raggle taggle look of choice back then and the Flowers tour manager wanted their merchandiser to do up a small run of tour shirts especially for the crew and described what he wanted over the phone; the band logo as small crest on the front and the word 'crew' spaced out along the length of the sleeve; they came back with the words 'crew spaced out' along the sleeve....

at least Murdoch doesn't own Google the way he owns Fox, MySpace and the Labour Party...

know any good communes Ned?

― Major Alfonso (Major Alfonso), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 20:41 (seventeen years ago) link

He probably will soon though.

i'll have to wikipedia both of those terms...

I wish Dogpile had been a more succesful search engine and reached verbification level.

― Major Alfonso (Major Alfonso), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, if anyone could tell me anything about this band Smile Kick who appear on the Rabid Chords VU Tribute compilation that would be great! I got nothin' and their version of the Black Angel Death Song is great.

1. It isn't an eclectic list, Nathalie. But I'm pretty certain that you weren't some sort of wild queen of eclecticism when you were 19 either.

2. Akron/Family are really a bunch of boring shite, fingers. The lyrics are enough to make me want to scream. And the music is bland.
Also, if anything, they are influenced by others. Not influencing anyone.

3. THAT HUGGIES THING WAS MINE ALFONSO.

― trees (treesessplode), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 02:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Have you ever seen Akron/Family live though?

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 02:32 (seventeen years ago) link

To go back to the Irish discussion, yeah I always forget Donal Dineen exists too, the guy is the only genuinely alternative host in Ireland. He comes into the shop where I work and buys Border Community 12s=respect.

As for HP, think Major Alfonso pretty much nailed it. As a former writer I'm hardly impartial but........well FUCK THEM.

: )

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 08:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Care to do a little self-promotion, Ronan? I'm back in the motherland over the Electric Picnic weekend, and I never get enough time to explore the new record shops that have popped up in the few years that I've been away (I presume you're Dublin-based).

o shit yr right

sorry never mind fingers

― bernard snow (sixteen sergeants), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 09:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I liked "Here comes the night" and "Headphones" are they still on? Also Phantom FM, what's the story?

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 10:00 (seventeen years ago) link

YES! Electric Picnic should be class!

― from The ends of your fingers (prosper.strummer.), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 11:26 (seventeen years ago) link

I work in Carbon inside the Urban Outfitters in Temple Bar, so easy to find, it's good for dance/indie/soul type stuff mostly. I'd say most people could find some stuff they like there.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 11:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Indeed, I remember getting Tortoise's 'Standards', a Shaolin Soul comp and a Tom Brock CD in a 3 for 25euro sale there. I'll be sure to check it out again!

So, who of the ILX Irishers (or otherwise) are going to Electric Picnic?

― Ruairi Wirewool (Ruairi Wirewool), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 12:04 (seventeen years ago) link

My favourite place is Plugd in Cork.

― from The ends of your fingers (prosper.strummer.), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 12:07 (seventeen years ago) link

haha, trees, I know the huggies thing is yours but there isn't enough hugs on ilm, I just wanted to spread the love (esp recently).

Ronan, I remember narking you when you were working on Hotpress for not giving respect to the review section when I did read reviews in the Ticket and the Tribune, sorry about that! (I don't buy an Irish Sunday paper anymore, none of them are worth it). But yeah, I wouldn't give HP my money. I'm also now completely ignorant as to what's happening music wise in Ireland...
Never bought anything in Carbon, I always forget it exists. Urban Outfitters' clothes are muy expensive. Must remember Carbon's in there though.
I have an Electric Picnic ticket but not entirely sure I'm going yet. Ought to be though.

― Major Alfonso (Major Alfonso), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 12:37 (seventeen years ago) link

*ahem* Plugging mine own thread here:

Electric Picnic in September...

Hot Press is woejus. I like Foggy Notions. Not the Tomlab CD though, sorry Mr. End of Fingers.
