Which era Roxy Music? I'm currently listening to For Your Pleasure, one of their two classics (the s/t debut being the other)...

The 1st 5 are classics.
And welcome to ILX.

Oh and do you like My Bloody Valentine?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Sunday, 30 July 2006 14:44 (seventeen years ago) link

i think the hidden cameras are great. nothing spectacular; just good indie pop fun. i'd love to see them live again.

welcome!

Erm, it was probably the cuddling dogs that threw me, either that or the line 'I make this stupid face and can't stop smiling'. I obviously need to lose some of my masculine, testosterone-fuelled preconceptions, perhaps that men can't be tender and emotive as well as ladies

― Louis Jagger (Haberdager), Sunday, 30 July 2006 14:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, god. I LOVE my bloody valentine. Especially that song "I only said". Ah... Have you ever heard their REALLY early stuff? It's different alright.

I think you just passed the ILM test.

Test?

Why are 19 year olds suddenly appearing on ILM? [ILM turns 6 in a months time, so these youths would have been 13 when ILM started in August 2000.]

Louis, you are not funny. In fact, you are showing yourself to be painfully unfunny, patently unfunny, a grotesque heap of overreaching humor-impaired desperation. It makes us wish you were dead, which is a sad state of affairs. Now either shut up and calm down or get used to the fact that your presence on a thread will be met with despair. (Doubtless others have said similar about me, but this is part of why I can tell YOU this.)

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Sunday, 30 July 2006 16:46 (seventeen years ago) link

The first two sentences of that post, Ned, have been safely copied and pasted for future reference. Hey - from your 90's records list I gathered you were a safe dude with an astoundingly perceptive taste in music, but NOW, I'm thinking that you're...

...pretty perceptive when it comes to people too. Sorry, but I'm off to find a chair, a light-fitting and a rope. Enjoy the rest of your life.

There should be a standard introduction form for ILM so people can get a handle on you quickly, y'know, the way paedos fire off an A/S/L.
A/S/L/MBV? But that wouldn't fit with the arcane initiations.

Anways, hiya, how's it going, welcome welcome. I'm Irish and a recidivist student myself, just wrote off four years of trinity for a DIT course I barely know anything about (Oy!). You're doing art? Dun Laoighre, NCAD or something? I'm a Galwegian myself.

Also Louis, it's possible you have too much sugar in your diet, try switching to wholewheats and other slow releasing foods, green tea and decaf coffee, less cola, a little valerian before bed even.

― Major Alfonso (Major Alfonso), Sunday, 30 July 2006 16:49 (seventeen years ago) link

in one of my first posts here, I made the terrible mistake of shit-talking Durham. then a certain goat-y fellow chewed me out and I felt so bad I apologized to him at a concert a couple weeks later.

I'll bet that motherfucker still hasn't even played Metal Gear Solid 3, either.

― bernard snow (sixteen sergeants), Sunday, 30 July 2006 16:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Mate (Alfonso), I'm the one reeling in shock at what's going on here. How can this have happened? Is what I've done really so completely criminal?

Off now, so you can thank your lucky stars you'll be safe for a while.

― Louis Jagger (Haberdager), Sunday, 30 July 2006 16:51 (seventeen years ago) link

No, relaxing in my hometown of Galway right now but I do painting in Limerick School of Art & Design. We are part of LIT but since we have a separate campus we like to pretend we are in some way superior. By we I don't mean me by the way.

There are people on ILX who still don't realize the genius of late Roxy Music?

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Sunday, 30 July 2006 17:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Jagger, you didn't get any huggies because... well, you like (and will defend) Oceansize.

Also, I would like to express my dismay at some of the ageism expressed on this particular thread. Patently unfunny, eager-to-impress, shit-eating types come in all shapes, sizes and ages. So do people who know what the hell they're talking about (or those who keep quiet until they have something decent to contribute). So quit the generalized 'these yung'uns' bitching, not only because it's rude to the younger ILXor set who know (or want to know more) about what we're speaking, but because it makes you sound like a bunch of old ninnies.

All right, I apologise for the Arctic Monkeys outburst, it WON'T happen again, it WASN'T big nor clever, and I WILL try to act more reasonably in future. You won't catch me conforming to a 'music-critic snarky stereotype' though.

― Louis Jagger (Haberdager), Sunday, 30 July 2006 17:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I saw Paul Morley on the telly talking about how great the Arctic Monkeys are. It was really disappointing. He said they were the best British band of the moment.

― from The ends of your fingers (prosper.strummer.), Sunday, 30 July 2006 17:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Louis, just tone it down a little & stop apologising. you'll be fine. in fact you already are. "It makes us wish you were dead, which is a sad state of affairs." is pretty vile & not just because of the assumed "us".

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.

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

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

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.

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....

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.

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.

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

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.
