deciding on how good someone's music is depending upon how cool they are, on the other hand...

Is Loose Lips Sinks Ships ever going to have a new issue out?

If U2 and Green Day were so hot they wouldn't have to record Skids covers to get a hit!

11 Paul Simonon (The Good, The Bad & The Queen)

This is wrong, he's cool for The Clash, not for some band that have released one single and a couple of 'secret' gigs.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen suck

And The Clash sucked too

Have I ever told ILX the story of how when Strummer pegged it, Radio 1's opening headline was "The lead singer of a band who influenced U2 has died"?

No he wasn't Lex, they're teasing you. Ian Curtis was the lead singer of Racey, Joe Strummer was the lead singer of Matchbox.

i like the quote fratelli's vs. the horrors as that I've never heard of either, but in NME land they appear to be worthy of a headline

Has Lex heard of Noel Gallagher?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

no-one seems to be giving reasons why this woman is cool, except basically: she's a lesbian, and she's physically unattractive in a world where looks rule. the janis joplin comparisons suggest it ain't about the music.

― benrique (Enrique), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

who's YOUR cool list #1 benrique?

― 2 american 4 u (blueski), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

Chris Burney from Bowling for Soup is exactly 271,922 times cooler than Beth Ditto, plus he's fatteyer and uglier and, you know, has been involved with some songs that aren't shit.

no self-respecting internet hipster would have a "cool list". what is this, myspace?

i can't decide if i like The Gossip's cover of 'Are You That Somebody' or not.

― 2 american 4 u (blueski), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

beth ditto isn't unattractive, really. fat, but not particularly ugly. really good eyes.

also, she's got an amazing voice - it's v rare to hear a gospel-trained instrument of real power in indie music (well, it's rare to hear someone who can HIT NOTES AT ALL in indie music). i'm not too keen on the music - the gossip remind me of the bellrays, an amazingly cool frontperson hampered by bogstandard guitar sludge - EXCEPT their one classic song per album ('nite', 'standing in the way of control') which alone would make them classic (cos who cares about albums innit).

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

i can't decide if i like The Gossip's cover of 'Are You That Somebody' or not.

despite everything i said i really disapprove of this and can't envision it being anything other than bull-in-china-shop unsubtlety. i like the gossip and beth ditto's cool but seriously STEP THE FUCK OFF AALIYAH AND SHOW SOME RESPECT.

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 15:57 (nineteen years ago)

who is aaliyah?

― pscott (elwisty), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 16:01 (nineteen years ago)

She had a hit in 1981 with "Japanese Boy."

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

Beth Ditto - Has own style.
Karen O - Has own stylist.
Ellen Allien - Has own fashion line, ironing forbidden :)

oh she's on my cool list, if i had one.
