Geir, have you been editing Wikipedia again? Also, can someone who knows more about music tell if those BPMs are right. They seem awfully fast.

She's So Lovely is pretty quick.

Not quick enough

I know I shouldn't laugh but...

'Anyone who stands up to play a piano wearing pale Fred Perry'
This makes me think of that film 'This Is England'. Y'know what I mean?
Anyway yeah they are pure shite but the worst thing ever is that someone keeps buying their records, I can almost comprehend why people are buying the Ting Tings (but only in a really abstract way) otherwise I don't get it. EVERY SINGLE SONG IS THE SAME.

Track listing

1. "This Ain't a Love Song"
2. "Little Miss Naughty"
3. "Goodtime Girl"
4. "Famous"
5. "Silly Song"
6. "On the Radio"
7. "Blue as Your Eyes"
8. "Posh Girls"
9. "Take a Chance"
10. "1+1=3"

Just in case any further proof was needed, cunt

Holy fucking shit someone please stop the manufacture of music in the UK right now.

I was trying to think of something for the "LEAST favourite sound" thread, well now I done found it.

So I was trolling Youtube comments one bored day, and d'you know which band have really angry, defensive fans? It's Scouting for Girls. (NB NON-BRITISHES - DON'T WORRY YOU'RE NOT MISSING ANYTHING)

Anyhoo, here's the Channels of a great bunch of lads who like to threaten random internet pseudonyms with violence and sexual assault.

‘The Light Between Us’ is an album full of love songs recorded in 10 studios across the world with 5 producers, and has been 2 years in the making. Roy Stride comments on the beginning of the recording process saying: "We wanted to make an album with a concept behind it, we tried but the songs were rubbish, so we decided to write an album of singles instead!”

The eight months Scouting For Girls spent in the studio also produced some surprises. The album’s beautiful title track is a startlingly sparse ballad that lasts just over a minute, includes two great train metaphors (“There’s a light in this tunnel/And I think it’s a train” is one) and shows a new, soulful side to Stride’s vocal. The singer’s favourite song is album closer 'Make This One Last', a stunning, strings-soaked ballad that proves SFG can do tender slow songs without sounding soppy.

Best friends Roy, Greg and Pete have a plan to kickstart the British summer with their new single 'Summertime In The City'. A classic Scouting For Girls smash it is three minutes of boisterous pop, witty lyrics and a chorus built for chanting back celebrating good-for-the-soul, shorts and shades days with burping brass, Blur-like bass, pounding piano and a hooky demand that it doesn’t rain.

Stride says “I’m counting on the song bringing the sun out. Imagine it as a telethon. The more people play it, the more the sun will shine. If it’s a hit, we’ll reach our target of endless glorious days. We could end up with an Indian Summer that lasts until November.”

dammit i was hoping at least one of these was dead

would've italiced and repeated part of that press release but where the fuck wd you start?

includes two great train metaphors (“There’s a light in this tunnel/And I think it’s a train” is one)

How do they come up with these?

burping brass

two great train metaphors

Blur-like bass

Blur like cheese.

hooky demand that it doesn’t rain.

Hooky demand that it rain on Hyde Park New Order gig.

a hooky demand that it doesn't rain (16 yr old girls any more)

Stride says “I’m counting on the song bringing the sun out. Imagine it as a telethon. The more people play it, the more the sun will shine. If it’s a hit, we’ll reach our target of endless glorious days. We could end up with an Indian Summer that lasts until November.”

OK, that.

See, I say "Bring back Pete Stride, guitarist of The Lurkers", round about now.

Haha, never heard of them before now. Five years I've been missing out on "She's so luv-a-ly/She's so luv-a-ly/She's so luv-a-ly..."

How?

How have I missed them? Dunno, are they actually popular in the US? I'm pretty oblivious to most indie rock.

Especially indie rock that sounds like this. If it was on my radio I'd hit the button pretty quickly.

since when is it indie? They are a pop band loud and proud. Pop can be just as shit as shit indie!

and they are the shittest of the shit!

I remember the year they played Glastonbury around the time their first album was out, my uncle was sat in his house watching the coverage on TV. "These don't seem too bad," he said to himself as they launched into the first song, much to my disgust. He took his eyes off the TV for about 10 or 12 minutes while he had a conversation with someone, during which they'd played something like three or four songs, and when he finally started paying attention to it again, this look of confusion came across his face. "Is this still the same song?". I was laughing my tits off!

can't sign into Youtube to post death threats on these guys vids :(

yay back in :)

I've just seen an advert on TV for a Scouting For Girls greatest hits... fucking hell.

Like, are there really that many people who are going to be like "yeah, 'She's So Lovely' was the shit - thank you for reminding me of the existence of this band, I really need them in my life..."?

sadly, yes

Just in time for Christmas too!

Looks like they've packaged their new album with the greatest hits, too. Christ.

they were on the telly once in their heyday and for some reason the main guy was tuning his guitar and he actually didn't know how to do it.

so basically scouting for girls are punk rock.

to me they are a lot like a lot of other terrible shit that many people who deride them are well into so yes

Show your working.
