Glad you like it! :)

I have a few hongroe songs on the itunes and they're welcomed when they shuffle by.

Classic or dud? This should be a poll, surely.

Geir looks like Butterbean.

That Google groups link is very eye-opening. You guys have seriously been doing this for that long???

Let us tell you tales of the olden times.

Classic and dud. okthxbye

Melody wise - okey.
Rhythmically - monotonous.

i bet Geir will highly rate this English mainstream melodic pop rock: Air Traffic

Air Traffic
http://www.myspace.com/airtraffic

the vocalist has that ghastly whiney Chris Martin vibe to his vocal style and the music is a blatant Coldplay carbon copy.

Why have EMI signed Coldplay Mark 2?

How high will Air Traffic be on Geir's Top 40 albums of 2007 by the end of year? will they knock Travis off the top slot?

Air Traffic kept finishing top of our CUR (student radio) chart last term despite being MOR shite. It's what the people want, DJ, and it's what they're getting. Sad but true.

...but they are so bland and boring ! another blando band to sell to Travis, Coldplay, Aqualung fans

I KNOW they're boring but people are boring! Not everyone's going to listen to the good stuff; they don't have the concentration or open-mindedness to appreciate sophistication and originality! Take 'My Computer', for instance, who released 'No CV', a staggeringly good record, in 2005, sold about 50 copies (or whatever), and now no longer exist. I mention them because I know for a fact that Geir himself actually likes that album. Good on him!

Ok, it's quite clear. We need to kill all students.

He has an extremely coherent, and well-defined point-of-view which appears to be pretty much unshakeable. I never agree with anything he says, but he's consistent and no matter how much flack he takes, never resorts to personal attacks or profanity. While I think he could do with a black friend or two, I'm actually going to go with Classic. He's exactly the kind of guy a good board needs. The fact that he got his own thread probably already indicates that anyway.

Another Coldplay/Travis clone? Well, if they're good (that is, good tunes), I will probably like them :)

They sound more like Air than like Coldplay IMO. Completely OK, but to get into my Top 40 they need to be a bit more than a Myspace band. :)

More like Athlete, I mean

Athlete are terrible.

so, are you Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy.

REVIVE

ban him already

i agree with Geir on, uh... XTC, but not on their best era........ Cupid & Psyche 85.............. the Sex Pistols sucking ass..... okay i don't know what else. fuck.

I agree with Geir a lot. Classic.

^^^ top round

Serious question: Why are everyone so hostile towards Geir around here? Even if his opinions/arguments are ridiculous, that's no reason IMO to insult him... and I've never read any post written by him that's even remotely rude. Am I missing something?

*Why IS everyone

His complete inability to recognise other posters as human beings with feelings, & his occasional tendancy to descend into quasi-racist sweeping statements that offend practically everyone here.

OK, I guess I've missed the racist statements. But what do you mean exactly by "recognising other posters as human beings"? I'm not questioning what you're saying, I'm just confused... isn't engaging in a discussion with other posters enough?

"discussion".

But hey, a lot of it is good-natured-ish ribbing, really.

people, including myself, are meaner on the internets.

but imagine, if you can, this real-life scenario. you're having a few beers with some friends, maybe some friends-of-friends as well, even a work colleague or two. you're talking about, i dunno, movies. you're debating the merits of robert mitchum versus robert ryan. this guy, who is someone's work colleague who nobody knows very well, keeps piping up: "black and white movies are not movies. only color movies are real movies." the first time you attempt to suppress your incredulity and mount an argument against this nonsensical claim. after which this guy responds, "black and white movies are not movies. only color movies are real movies." you and your bros chuckle uncomfortably. you go back to talking about how awesome robert mitchum is in "thunder road." a few minutes later, this guy pipes up again: "black and white movies are not movies. only color movies are real movies." everyone rolls their eyes, slowly and almost imperceptibly begins to move away from the guy. you resume talking about old movies. ten minutes later, the guy sidles up to you, real close like, and whispers in your ear, "black and white movies are not movies. only color movies are real movies."

now repeat x1000. oh, and add crypto-racist weirdness.

THAT is why people are, sometimes, mean to geir hongro.

wait, is geir hitting on you in this situation

it does sound like that, doesn't it. no, he just won't go away is all.

i liked the tension of the story, but the ending was a bit dissapointing

xxpost

I don't get it. What is Geir supposed to be repeating x1000? I've never seen him being repetitious. Tendentious and sweeping, yes, but not repetitious.

More like, what doesn't he repeat?

He's not had a new idea in 15 years

That never stopped Oasis, oh wait

Not mad about this thread though tbh

No
