Can pop music get any worse than Hero & Leander?

I can't remember the saxophonist's name, I think the performance went over my head though.

Did anyone else in cinema join you in booing at the end of Inception? (I'm assuming you were watching it in a cinema and not just watching the DVD on your couch or something)

Were you seeing Inception with friends or were you alone? I usually only go to the cinema alone and I would feel awkward booing a film if I was sitting on my own.

i thought i booed at the end of Inception but it turns out i dreamt it

LOL

Soref: It was out of character for me. Even when I was drinking heavily it's not the sort of thing I'd would normally do. I think there was applause at the end of it. Now, I miss people clapping at the end of films (and when planes land successfully) - I think it's charming. But I was so incensed at how utterly terrible I perceived the film to be, in this instance the applause rubbed me up the wrong way. So I made an ineffectual protest by booing. I don't think that many people noticed. My girlfriend and her friend, thankfully thought my irritation was funny rather than the cause for angrily telling me to shut up.

"I would"

these guys seem pretty good

yikes @ that de la cover

no scrubs isnt much better

youtube keeps recommending this to me, presumably because I watched the Hero & Leander video, I would posit that this is worse than Hero & Leander

i think the key issue here is there shd probably be some sort of moratorium on cover versions. especially by indies.

I saw this American improv jazz saxophonist guy play a gig at a small venue once, he sort of made noises with the saxophone without 'playing' it, making clackerty clackerty noise with the keys, making slurpy blowing noises with the reed etc

this is pretty standard free improv. I wish you remembered who he was though.

Did you watch the video? It's not just a cover it's a MASH UP.

i've heard bastille and without viewing that i'm guessing that you're v correct.

i'm not really sure what makes hero & leander stand out from the thousands of other chirpy innocent smoothies twee bands of the last eight years or so, if someone would like to outline it in a 5,000 word post i will definitely read it.

i love how "innocent smoothies" has become an adjective to describe music!

I wish I could remember too! He was very solemn, almost mournful in his demeanor, didn't talk to the audience at all and this made the whole thing more awkward/ridiculous. The gig was in Newcastle upon Tyne and the improv guy had come from America, I assume he was playing other gigs in the UK as well, but the whole thing felt a bit grim.

Did you watch the video?

20 seconds or so more than i shd've

what would be the most platonically ideal innocent smoothies music in the current uk pop lanscape

xp - was he white? approximately how old?

hero and leander are too marginal

is lorde from new zealand innocent smoothies music?

I found a listing for the gig, this was the guy:

hahaha I know him!

This video seems a bit more 'musical' than what I remember of his performance?

why is drivemommyblogging one word?

contz have you watched the vauxhall advert linked upthread

i did say it resisted abbreviation but contz is alright

works, yeah

vauxhall ad makes it seem like a terrible, terrible country

not half as bad as that ras trent video though

also thank you for suggesting i watch something that did not improve my day

dean contz

adam, what do you think of clint the pig?

43 seconds of hurt, it's not like you couldn't do yourself a lot more damage in that time than watch a vile advert

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By_gUAd-r5c

if that's clint the pig, then i think nothing but good thoughts. waddle waddle.

i'm worried about the dog though. looks bitey.

do you think there is any sort of abject quality to that film?

maybe a paradisiac undercurrent, all fauna reduced to a single plane of transcendence, clints become fausts become clints, waddling in elysium never to want for a single thing?

the last few seconds suggest some sort of panic is overcoming faust? a jouissance is abundant, soon he will gave way to bestial urges and paradise ends for faust, and for clint too

Exactly what i was going to say

trying to remember what hero and leander were and what they were about

Deutschland we love you!

We love you as much as chimpanzees love football. So we’re coming back to see you this Saturday for the Lothringair festival, in Germany’s belly button – that’s Aachen, pub-quiz fans. I’ll be wearing the same trousers that I wore there last year, because, shit, it’s 2014, the flowers are coming, I might win the lottery one day and I really like this pair of trousers. Also on the bill are Carlson, who we love more than the moon loves the sea. Check them out here. See you on Saturday. Ours is a double gin and cider X
