Did someone think there wasn't?

Savage tunee - was this a mishearing of Jimmy Tarbuck? "Oho, lovely tuney, I play it on my iPoddy when I'm on the green with Brucie, Lynchie, Dan Hipgravey and TV's Tim Vincenty, oho, Maggie etcy."

five months pass...

Amazingly, every single is shitter than the one that came before.

I like how this thread title is axiomatic.

Noodle Vague, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 09:10 (fifteen years ago) link

Good tunes, played with a smile. What's not to like?

Raw Patrick, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 09:16 (fifteen years ago) link

Is that a press release quote or have I got to start a BAN thread?

Noodle Vague, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 09:18 (fifteen years ago) link

You've been listening to too much Radcliffe and Maconie (xpost).

Dingbod Kesterson, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 09:20 (fifteen years ago) link

You goota start a BAN thread.

I like the cheeky irrepressability of theswe scanmps.

good lord on the razz at 10.30 am

I've sounded more cheeky and irrepresible than these cunts on a wet Monday morning in February with a 3-day hangover.

Every single song is exactly the same yet still as someone has already said, shitter than the first and I cannot stand the pianists face. Plus the glamour model that appeared in that first vid must have fallen on hard times (joke somewhere) to be convinced that being in their vid would lead to more fame.

I hate everything I hear from this act.

mmmm, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 12:03 (fifteen years ago) link

And just when you think..

Every single song is exactly the same yet still as someone has already said, shitter than the previous

.. has to stop somewhere...

Date-Rape Indie at it's finest.

Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 12:18 (fifteen years ago) link

i don't even think there's much dating here

restraint and blindness (Just got offed), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 12:19 (fifteen years ago) link

sounds feasible.. whats date rape indie?

mmmm, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 12:20 (fifteen years ago) link

This is a bit like hating on Coldplay or Phil Collins by now isn't it?

Matt DC, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 12:20 (fifteen years ago) link

Kaiser Chiefs, SfG, anyone who stands up to play piano while wearing a pale Fred Perry.

Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 12:20 (fifteen years ago) link

Date-Rape Indie at it's finest.

Suggest their record company use this quote to promote their next release

Ich Ber ein Binliner (Tom D.), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 12:20 (fifteen years ago) link

No, far more stalker-pop.

I diarrhea'ed all over the Coldplay thread about them. I had no idea they were quite so bad. Honestly, I know that ILM will get it collective knickers in a twist over anything, but...

They're like a blander, more insipid, more mediocre version of Maroon 5 - and I didn't think that was possible!

Coldplay are better. Collins is a LOT better.

Cittaslow Mazza (blueski), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 12:21 (fifteen years ago) link

KC and SfG are way worse than Coldplay or PCollins.

Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 12:21 (fifteen years ago) link

That's Mick Talbot had it then (xxxxxp).

synths and drum machines (e.g. Simmonds) (Marcello Carlin), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 12:21 (fifteen years ago) link

But nowhere near as bad as Elbow (xxp).

synths and drum machines (e.g. Simmonds) (Marcello Carlin), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 12:21 (fifteen years ago) link

...and I'm not even going to get started on how the phrase "date rape indie" is possibly more offensive than the aesthetic content of their music. >:-(

post-apocalyptic time jazz (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 12:21 (fifteen years ago) link

Hey have you ever noticed Alanis Morrissette doesn't even know what irony is etc etc?

Matt DC, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 12:23 (fifteen years ago) link

I've just rung up the Daily Mail. 1000 words by AN Wilson in tomorrow's edition.

Well that's the suggest ban clicked about 49 more times, then.

restraint and blindness (Just got offed), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 12:25 (fifteen years ago) link

i was merely wondering what it'd be like to actually date a Scouting For Girl

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.

Treblekicker, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 12:42 (fifteen years ago) link

She's So Lovely is pretty quick.

Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 12:42 (fifteen years ago) link

Not quick enough

'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.

VeronaInTheClub, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 13:12 (fifteen years ago) link

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

three weeks pass...

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.
