PMs change and lol we're all gonna die (but brexit will never end)

This seems like a page that the ilx uk politics thread needs to see:

Ooof

sobel saves the day again

rmde

lol at Watson projecting some Glasto reg "real music" vibes and Blackford with his Big Country. I thought Angela Smith might have picked The Waterboys.

Ok, so this is a bit of a liberty but I have been playing in a band since 2001, and we have just produced our tenth album of original material - and it's an eco concept album. So I'm shamelessly promoting it! It's called Watertown by The Mustangs.

😬

Lol vmic of that party

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP4_(band)

Christ.

Singles

You Can't Always Get What You Want (2016) Chrysalis Records (track released under the artist title 'The Friends of Jo Cox' and features MP4 with other artists)

pure Brass Eye was that

for a second I thought Sir Greg Knight was a nominating a Parliament album

honestly tho his is the least pitiful choice of the lot of them

I'd presume Bartley plays some (smug + self satisfied) wind instrument in his band

Alas, he's their drummer.

The single peaked at number 2 on the Official Independent Singles Breakers Chart.

Jonathan Bartley is the drummer for green dad.

"It was a frost-coated day in a late Autumn when my room mate at university inserted the [insert baggyMP meme here] and changed my life"

i mean "a late Autumn" ???

tbf solid air is the best choice anyone madethere, apart from the mustangs obv

Hard to argue with Solid Air, yeah.

No mention of Greg Knight itt should pass without his certified election banger

No Stella Creasy, no Weddoes, no cred

Also I think the captions on the albums are the real prize here

Its timbre is like listening to the wind in a forest. This album is timeless and I am blessed to have it within me.

Solid Air is a fine album, which makes it all the more awful when Baggymp puts his grubby prints on it and weaves into it his bullshit chocolate-box twee anecdote about the first time he heard it .. etc

I regret to inform you that not only was baggymp listening to Solid Air yesterday, but he’s listening right now

the whole ukmusic site does seem kind of parodic but their tweets about the article have been retweeted by blue-ticked MP accounts

which are probably just run by hapless interns instructed to retweet anything not actively insulting with the MP's name in, so, yeah, never mind, that could happen

(hmm... that could happen... <think_emoji_chin.gif>)

not a single pick of Matador, no wonder this country's in a mess

Harpocrates - strike Baggymp down! Does he pay some intern to listen some decent music?

if baggymp reads ilx then surely he should be listening to 00s tracks to get his ballot ready

No classical composers among their mostly jingoistic picks. The ghosts of Dowland, Purcell, Vaughan Williams, Britten, etc., collectively weep.

accidentally nominated "Cha Cha Cha" by Finzy Kontini instead of Gerald Finzi

Got some bad news for you Pom

only a true music nerd would write something so considered and cautious: "This more than anything finalised my transition from commercial pop music to alternative and indie music although I retained my love of hip hop and dance."

Honestly Ziggy is a classic and I’m sad it’s getting slagged off by proxy cos some milquetoast people have shit opinions about it

xp disagree, who is a music nerd that can’t appreciate a pop classic?

Theresa May's metal

Such a tease.

Best Indie pop is early Supergrass and mid period Boo Radleys!

I think we have entered a 3rd golden age of indie pop - bands like Haim, Bastille very good. My 1st indie pop love is 'Funny How'by Airhead

I am at work on my own, working through my backlog listening to some US Indie Power Pop - Husker Du, Julianna Hatfield #goodtimes

An indie pop classic RT @Laurawilkes: @alexsobel one of my fav albums is still 'I Should Coco'.

it's not so much the opinion itself (obv pulp is basic af, death to all britpop etc.) as the awareness of his own taste and care in charting its developments, all things put in proper perspective in the opening sentence

OK while you suckers have been listening to Barlow compered MOR I have listened to Hole, Beck, Beta Band, Turin Brakes, Lamb and The Smiths

what's wrong with Lou Barlow :(

"It was a frost-coated day in a late Autumn when my room mate at university inserted the Indie Pop classic "Mr Blobby (song)" into the music system and changed my life"

baggymp play mr blobby (song) if you're reading this

"UK MUSIC CHIEF WARNS OF THE DANGERS OF NO-DEAL BREXIT ON MUSIC INDUSTRY"

^^
b.b..but I want to see the drummer from Foals begging on the streets!

His n Hers is a good choice, actually boasting about listening to Turin Brakes otoh...

The singer from Foals and son of Greek immigrants was making some pretty Brexity noises before the referendum - and citing immigration policy as the reason at that.

aye I remember that popping up on a previous thread, total bunch of arseholes.

can't believe any indie pop star has conservative opinions

yeah let's just keep this about the music and not about the Koch brothers funded pondlife that associate with [redacted ILX indie darlings].

or about when [redacted ILM indie darlings] approvingly retweet J Peterson tweets!

not sure that keeping it about the music is very helpful to [redacted ILM indie darlings] tbh

lool!
