They're very popular in Australia. And they don't sound or look similar to Nirvana anymore. I don't mind some of their new stuff, which is more "pop", and not guitar-based.

Monaco. Reef. Orbital.

Tiger had that really cool song, though. I like Death In Vegas' singles when they had a more dancey feel to them, and I don't mind some of the stuff like 'Dirge' etc.

I had the Nought ep's too. I was a lot into Mogwai and the ''post-rock'' stuff that you had at that time, so they were up there for me, even though I can't remember any music by them at all.

Are you? I know Blow Up very well.

this is pretty awesome.

this WOULD be awesome if she could sing

Ah yeah, I saw this when it went out. Great discordant violin and fuzz bass. The "singing" is all part of the fun too, in me opinion. Go girls, go!

i'm inclined to like it because it's almost like they're just taking the piss

oh they are so ANNOYING in person
fuck birmingham, like i mean no offense to anyone because i know not all of them are annoying but the accent is really intolerable.

wasn't there some kind of resurgence of interest in them recently?

only in daryl hall....

There was a vaguely ironic revival of those two in the early 00's, at least in some clubs.

Audioslave


Sum 41

 

Blink 182

*Melly looks at Blink 182, and tries not to feel nauseous all over keyboard*
*Fails*

ha! that blink 182 pic is funny... from left to right.... trying to shit, touching cloth, oh crap wrong end!!!!

Sorry Melly. Dou you want a puke bag ?

 

Ha ha hah ha! I'm afraid I can't rep you, but that's hilarious. Tres bien, monsieur!

One for a Utopian future

you know that fields of the nephilim are touring again?

oh no no no. Carter USM were awesome.

and also touring agin at the end of the year.

it looks bad that i know that doesn't it?

o no you didn't!


the boy band or the pseudo experimental metal band?

both were/are ace! hahahahahaha

-----

i love silverchair!!! one of the best bands of the 90's

not to mention that i like soundgarden, alice in chains, neutral milk hotel and olivia tremor control; but i disgress.

---

i have a friend who is a huge dog fashion disco fan, don't understand it either.

on topic:

crazy town (although "butterfly" is tragically intriguing)
powderfinger (which i can't believe i still have their album)

...i guess you were right about australia and shit forgettable bands.

This might get a bit of flak, but I'm willing to say "any band in the early-mid 1990s that was labelled either "alternative rock" or "grunge" by mainstream media (and wasn't Nirvana or Mudhoney or one of the few bands that somehow found themselves well-known with actually great music...)


Know what I mean, eh eh?

people always tell me i look like that sum 41 deryck wibley fucker

Ah ah ah !!! You should be proud of it, Adam !!!

I don't see it.




A lot of people have siad it though..

I also get "dude from ataris" and "seth green" a lot.... anyway.

you poor poor man

Atually thinking about it, he kinda looks like Michael Stipe's attention seeking younger brother in that picture.

The one i get is Charlie from Lost, who was apparently in a band.

Just imagine, in 20 years time that could be you

I actually do see the similarity, but wouldn't notice it myself.

In spite of the efforts combined by Geffen and either NME or Melody Maker, in spite of all the namedropping they did and that onstage blowjob, the Nymphs quickly vanished.

I feel the same about Jonathan Fire Eater; there's one song I like on the EP and the album had nothing to catch my ear. And there were some people to say good things about these guys.

The Times; or was it just the only album I bought that was shittier than Chicago?

Johnny Favorite (just kidding).
