PMs change and lol we're all gonna die (but brexit will never end)

I regret to inform you that not only was baggymp listening to Solid Air yesterday, but he’s listening right now
https://www.last.fm/user/baggymp

the whole ukmusic site does seem kind of parodic but their tweets about the article have been retweeted by blue-ticked MP accounts

which are probably just run by hapless interns instructed to retweet anything not actively insulting with the MP's name in, so, yeah, never mind, that could happen

(hmm... that could happen... <think_emoji_chin.gif>)

not a single pick of Matador, no wonder this country's in a mess

Harpocrates - strike Baggymp down! Does he pay some intern to listen some decent music?

if baggymp reads ilx then surely he should be listening to 00s tracks to get his ballot ready

No classical composers among their mostly jingoistic picks. The ghosts of Dowland, Purcell, Vaughan Williams, Britten, etc., collectively weep.

accidentally nominated "Cha Cha Cha" by Finzy Kontini instead of Gerald Finzi

Got some bad news for you Pom

only a true music nerd would write something so considered and cautious: "This more than anything finalised my transition from commercial pop music to alternative and indie music although I retained my love of hip hop and dance."

Honestly Ziggy is a classic and I’m sad it’s getting slagged off by proxy cos some milquetoast people have shit opinions about it

xp disagree, who is a music nerd that can’t appreciate a pop classic?

Theresa May's metal

Such a tease.

Best Indie pop is early Supergrass and mid period Boo Radleys!

I think we have entered a 3rd golden age of indie pop - bands like Haim, Bastille very good. My 1st indie pop love is 'Funny How'by Airhead

I am at work on my own, working through my backlog listening to some US Indie Power Pop - Husker Du, Julianna Hatfield #goodtimes

An indie pop classic RT @Laurawilkes: @alexsobel one of my fav albums is still 'I Should Coco'.

it's not so much the opinion itself (obv pulp is basic af, death to all britpop etc.) as the awareness of his own taste and care in charting its developments, all things put in proper perspective in the opening sentence

OK while you suckers have been listening to Barlow compered MOR I have listened to Hole, Beck, Beta Band, Turin Brakes, Lamb and The Smiths

what's wrong with Lou Barlow :(

"It was a frost-coated day in a late Autumn when my room mate at university inserted the Indie Pop classic "Mr Blobby (song)" into the music system and changed my life"

baggymp play mr blobby (song) if you're reading this

"UK MUSIC CHIEF WARNS OF THE DANGERS OF NO-DEAL BREXIT ON MUSIC INDUSTRY"

^^
b.b..but I want to see the drummer from Foals begging on the streets!

His n Hers is a good choice, actually boasting about listening to Turin Brakes otoh...

The singer from Foals and son of Greek immigrants was making some pretty Brexity noises before the referendum - and citing immigration policy as the reason at that.

aye I remember that popping up on a previous thread, total bunch of arseholes.

can't believe any indie pop star has conservative opinions

yeah let's just keep this about the music and not about the Koch brothers funded pondlife that associate with [redacted ILX indie darlings].

or about when [redacted ILM indie darlings] approvingly retweet J Peterson tweets!

not sure that keeping it about the music is very helpful to [redacted ILM indie darlings] tbh

lool!

Who, Mumford and Sons?

they rhyme with Lameo-bab

i meant most of them tbh

tbf i don't hate Blaireo-raab's music, only the Spiked affiliation

it is the pathetic "keep it about the music" responses in their thread that are comic. Everyone else can get me-tooed or get pelters for being melts/crypto fash wankers - but not these lads!

I'm not a fan of their music tbh, but I listen to lots of right-wing sex-offenders and allsorts of bad ppl and don't get butthurt when ppl talk about what appalling humans they are.

I still have no idea who you're talking about tbh.

St3re0l4b

Ah, thanks. I had no idea. I strongly dislike their music fwiw, way too twee for my ears.

i just discovered* a south african metalband called BOARGAZM so i feel i am way ahead of everyone, they play in pig masks

*in the columbus sense of discovered = just now came across something many many ppl already knew about

"It was a frost-coated day in a late Autumn when my room mate at university inserted the Boagazm classic "The Baconing" into the music system and changed my life"

I believe it.

Pram is another ILM favourite with an even more blatant Spiked connection.

The Baconing... what a classic title

Dogwhistle for The Gammoning iirc.

is there something in that cult 60's movies/library music/space age exotica aesthetic that is also nostalgic for some whiter than white Britain? In this case most definitely!

Isn’t Michael Dugher head of the UK music thing?

Kerry McCarthy as Joy Div stan = fine by me.

In other media shite, McD has done the ES Magazine Londoner’s Diary this week and says the best meal he’s ever eaten is Rochelle Canteen at the ICA. Worth it for his ambition to have BJ picking up litter on community service until the end of days as payback for the Garden Bridge.

Lol gyac u r obsessed with baggymp last.fm. love John Martyn so this makes me feel ill (but solid air is maybe my third favourite)

I hadn’t looked at it in a while and tbf it’s weird af

No it has some pretty straightforward songs on it too, 'one world' is much weirder

I mean in the context of folk rock I guess it's weird but that's a very conservative genre

oh no, never mind Pram, is that the same Tom Fenn as in T3l3:Funk3n who had an album on Domino and did a sublime Avrocar remix?

I suspect it is and that makes me v sad, damn this civil war :(

I saw him do a great live set once and he was v nice and enthusiastic at the merch stand, unlike Pram who were v standoffish, or maybe just shy and having a bad night - rude of me to make assumptions as I am socially anxious and possibly the most socially inept person ever to have lived, but still
