"Don't judge a band by its fans," anyone?

it's just the circle of life with ilx, like freak out about the band and record four months before it's out, then once it's out and gets popular and a good review on pitchfork, you gotta start making it a punchline for indie joeks

ppl on ILX hating an indie album for no good reason shocker
― ksh, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 18:15 (fifteen years ago)

― goole, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 18:17 (fifteen years ago)

― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 18:28 (fifteen years ago)
oh i thought you were knocking it!
yes, who could object to a dinner party.
― goole, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 18:29 (fifteen years ago)
I exclusively play Cobalt and late 90s alt rock hits when I have ppl over
― ksh, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 18:31 (fifteen years ago)
no that was def a compliment. have heard it at many a dinner party and it's always been appreciated
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 18:31 (fifteen years ago)
liked this better when it was slowdive and without the shitty visual aesthetic

Naturally, the xx sound nothing like Slowdive...

― Nano McPhee (admrl), Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:07 (fifteen years ago)
I love it that I'm now clearly too old to care whether this is cool or what "type" of person is supposed to listen to it.
I feel like a lil scott seward
― Nano McPhee (admrl), Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:08 (fifteen years ago)
love this record - i just wish i didn't have to hear it as the background music to every other tv show and trailer.
― jed_, Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:43 (fifteen years ago)
I get kind of psyched about that because $$$$$ to The XX
― juggalo iglesias (HI DERE), Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:45 (fifteen years ago)
I realised the other day that I'd never heard anyone talk about them when I heard them called 'the double ex'. I favour 'the ex ex' myself.
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 16 September 2010 19:06 (fifteen years ago)
That's strange. I assumed they were called 'the ex ex' also. Do people really call them 'the double ex'? Is that the "official" way to say their name?
― Moodles, Thursday, 16 September 2010 19:48 (fifteen years ago)
only disgusting savages call The XX "the double ex"
― (markers)___(/O_O)-☞___ (markers), Thursday, 16 September 2010 19:51 (fifteen years ago)
Oh, I agree - I grilled her on it and she said that's what they call them on the radio though
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 16 September 2010 19:55 (fifteen years ago)
they play the double ex on the radio?!
― i wish them hell and happiness (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 16 September 2010 20:05 (fifteen years ago)
yeah the tv backing music thing is getting a bit ridic.
saw them play to a gigantic crowd at a festival last weekend. people were going crazy, clapping along and singing every word like it was oasis or something. a bit incongruous but i guess they're on the way to being superstars. also they were on my ferry on the way to the festival, eating sandwiches.
― jabba hands, Thursday, 16 September 2010 20:19 (fifteen years ago)
what kind of sandwiches?
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 16 September 2010 20:26 (fifteen years ago)
minimal ones
― (markers)___(/O_O)-☞___ (markers), Thursday, 16 September 2010 20:28 (fifteen years ago)
just bread
― (markers)___(/O_O)-☞___ (markers), Thursday, 16 September 2010 20:29 (fifteen years ago)
i couldn't tell but they seemed pleased with them
― jabba hands, Thursday, 16 September 2010 20:29 (fifteen years ago)
So wait, how do you say their name again? (Should be called The Double Cross, imo.)
― Lostandfound, Thursday, 16 September 2010 21:39 (fifteen years ago)
ex-ex

― Lostandfound, Thursday, 16 September 2010 22:14 (fifteen years ago)
Gonna start calling them the Criss Cross
