Post your Audiosrobbler userlink so we can always watch what you're listening to

I bet the lex doesnt have much in common with you Harpal.

Hoos I bet you get about 50 suggest bans for that ;)

Your musical compatibility with applications is Low

Music you have in common includes Guided by Voices, My Bloody Valentine, Eat Skull(!), Jay Reatard and No Age

I'll join the BS list.

Black Sabbath?

so, uh, do you like lo-fi indie rock?

a bit.

hah, i just thought it was funny that those were the ones the machine picked out. i love that you love eat skull though!
uh oh, the Fall is your #2 artist and pavement is nowhere to be seen in your top 50. don't tell me you're a pavement hater :p

track 66666 is up next

i love that you love eat skull though!

Don't know if anyone has posted this yet but it's good for lolz:

MGMT I can just about understand, but who is listening to all that Coldplay?

sigh, the B&S list then...!

That is of not liking them, at all.

So what's no. 66666 pfunkboy?

I once got talked out of seeing Yo La Tengo to see them but couldn't stand it and legged it just in time to see Sugarcube which was totally worth it.

xpost, he's still deciding

It's playing now

i too will join that no-B&S list - i don't think i've heard anything by them aside from one France Gall cover.

ha good one xp

:-) good call! also xp

wait, is this list supposedly made of people who have never heard them before, or wish they had never heard them before and wish to never hear them again? I was under the impression it was the latter...? (though i fall into neither!)

i'm no pavement hater. they are good, but somewhat overrated imo. haven't really listened to them since end of high school/first year of university. they're kind of a cliche "college kid" band. don't mean that in a bad way. they do have some great stand out tracks.

eat skull is pretty great. good live, too.

xp how bout people who don't particularly care for them either way?

i'd like to see them live. they're from portland (or somewhere west? lol like a true new yorker there's new york and everywhere else :p) right? have they come east to tour?

xp roz B&S or pavement?

yeah, portland. i saw them a few times at sxsw this past year. don't know if they've toured east.

regarding b&s - i'm in the indifferent category. i'd probably rather be listening to country teasers.

belle and sebastian. i like pavement ok.

It had to be Maiden. Predictable but it just had to be. I thought no 66665 was funny.

Adam is only 190 plays away from 1666. He better get ready!

Ah, should've read this thread before shouting at yer profile. Congrats, I guess, will have a a listen at your Pfunk fantastic station soon!

You should! Everyone should!

As far as I know, I've never heard B&S intentionally or not. Doesn't sound like something I'd be into.

I once got kicked out of a B&S concert.

I've never heard Belle & Sebastian either.

I once got kicked out of a B&S concert

I was part of an audience that inspired Stuart Murdoch and Stevie Jackson to walk off stage in a feeble indie strop. Seriously: one of the most pathetic things I have ever witnessed. I remember I tried to have a pop at the latter about it later on; trouble is, I was so drunk that I don't imagine he understood a word of it.

Anyway. If ever a band could fuck off for eternity, etc ...

I once got kicked out of a B&S concert.

What did you do?

Grimly what did the audience do?

oh and for everyone else to see

also, i was listening to some promos yesterday evening, and who pops along later but...the artist themselves! he has hardly any listeners so obviously i showed up...he is a son of one of the kinks (whoever they are) who makes pleasant electro

Ach, it's a long story. I've posted about it elsewhere. Suffice it to say: the pair of them were asked to do a small set at a private party, and got pissy because people weren't reverential enough towards them. No fucking wonder: it wasn't a bloody gig, and the majority of the people there didn't have a clue who they were.

Of course, being such ineffectual fuckers, they managed to take the stage, play two songs, get upset and storm off without 50% of the invited guests even noticing.

I should add that I genuinely like some of their music, and I've seen the fully fledged band on two or three occasions and enjoyed them. However, their petulance and spoilt look-at-us attitude that night put me off them forever. For fuck's sake: it was someone else's party -- someone to whom they owed a couple of favours, to put it mildly -- at which they were asked to play a short set. To throw a strop after two songs because we weren't paying them enough attention struck me as wank-arsed in the extreme.

(Then again: Stet argues, to this day, that they were absolutely right and we should all have been bowing down before them, etc.)

xpost, obviously,

If they're both guys, how can they be called "Belle & Sebastian"? Is there some joke there?

You mean Stet is another of the B&S fans on here?

You don't have to know much to get hired at the Guardian these days, then.

You mean Stet is another of the B&S fans on here?

Well: he likes them a lot more than I do, put it that way.

The more I think about this, the more I realise a lot of the reason I've no time for them/get pissed off by them is because of personal, non-musical stuff (including a couple of things I'm categorically not posting here). That's probably unreasonable of me, but hey. I'm in an unreasonable mood right now.

Also: dudes, the Lex has a keen sense of humour and is WINDING YOU ALL UP.

(probably)

(you sure?)

in scotland 'belle' is a boy's name
