lol Dragons, Treasure and Dragons

fort thunder dudes like chippendale and paperrad or whatev would do weird and wild stuff in their art with thngs like garfield and bart simps, but it was always really mutated and distorted and weird, and generally pretty awesome.

i'm thinking 2010 should be the year of 1910! its time has come.

I've been saying this for ages! Falling around Art Nouveau townhouses smashed on absinthe listening to salon music. Doubtless opium would be involved somehow too.

i prefer The ____ening or _____ On The Move

_________ 2: The Legend of Curley's Gold

Super ___________ II Turbo

Legend Of ___'s Gold

___________ 2

Too ______ Too ________ious

Big Bad Beetle Borgs

Lucy I'm Home

pro chillwave in general

ditto. not heard any of the bands in whiney's first post tho.

ducktails r good but i havent heard of any of the others either.

i don't think i like this musical style

tbh this thread has left me with nothing but an urge to name a band after a character from Galaxy High and do covers of "Sail Away" and claim it's ironic

sorry mum

I guess I'd better get onto Bucky O'Hare and "Mr Loverman" so I'm ready for the 90s nostalgia wave though

heeey britishers, is there a band called blue peter?

*snicker*

this is just like the american version of ghost box imo

Yeah but the 90s didn't have an influx of grunge/indierockers named The Brady Bunch, Scooby Doo, Happy Days, etc.

There were the Groovie Ghoulies. I bet there were others, too.

Heatmiser

new mgmt cover seems to fit into this

massive, massive lols @ http://pitchfork.com/news/38020-neon-indian-teams-with-mountain-dew/

Le Tigre

Yesterday I posted on Facebook that I'd rather listen to Grand Funk Railroad than any rock music released in the last 20 years and I stand by that more than ever after reading this thread.

This thread isn't really about rock music, though.

Summer Camp "Ghost Train". i dig the song, but everything about it from the name to the vid just scream this thread

On Slate today:

I know, Bingham wrote it, but we get to hear him perform it on the soundtrack ever after, and we get to see Jeff Bridges in character as Bad Blake only one last time (unless my dream sequel, Even Crazier Heart: Electric Boogaloo, is currently in development).

(Does Dana Stevens not get that for "Electric Boogaloo" to work as a imaginary sequel subtitle, the title has to end in "2"? Or is this all a sly wink at how played out the joke is?)

how does Electric Boogaloo not work as an imaginary sequel title?

doubting the sly wink thing

que no rhyme

not 'chillwave' (lol genre names keep getting more creatively bankrupt too, this name means nothing) but there was some shitty hardcore band a few years back called rival schools, with an album 'united by fate'. band name is bad enough but the name of the record is also ripped from the same video game title!

sesame's treet (not a band name but still)

Suburban Kids With Biblical Names

I thought that was a Silver Jews reference. What else is it?

80s ephemera?

A band name so vile I wish the members a world of indifference and zero merch sales?
