Scissor Sisters roll call

god dammit i miss all the good stuff………..

my whole idea of fun was posting the wrong artist song to go with the lyrics to mess with redsock………

might have known that a jibe towards radiohead would encite some action.

and Sonick's grandmother dying of emphysema has what to do with liking the same bands?

Fun show. Almost sold out, and really mixed crowd. Very 70s – at times, like a mix of Dee-Lite and jamiroqouis, with Elton John thrown in. Not as 'glam" as I thought. One song sounded almost exactly like "Love Roller Coaster." Quite a spectacle. As a friend said, fun to have a dance band that's not house… But, then I gave him Franz Ferdinand. We'll see how psyched he is about that CD! The boy's coming to see Metric with us now, too…. :D

actually, it has nothing to do with bands, you are talking shit on people's dead loved ones, when you know nothing about them.

did you not even pick that up? its not really about Radiohead.

can you not even see that above you self-righteous proud internet persona?

Look, I said I was sorry. Can't you gracefully accept an apology and move on?

In terms of this comment you are commenting on here…my point was that I think the 9:30 board, as it is today, is probably a hell of a lot more interesting than it was when there were 10 or so of the same music nerds getting along agreeably and liking the same top 10 WOXY bands.

just saying

where i come from, apologies arent followed by "How much fun is a board without any quarrelling?"

and i think you have a very narrow opinion of people on this board.

Back to the "TOPIC" at hand… I thought the show rocked last nite. I am now a scissor sisters fan, and will go see them again.

The crowd was very much into it, and DJ Sammy spun a great set… Very retro. not trance like someone on here said it would be. And when Michael Jackson's "wanna be starting somethin" the crowd lost it! it was bananas!

i don't even know what the top 10 woxy bands are….

My comment was a followup to Kosmo's comment that the board used to be 10 people talking about music, with no quarrelling.

It was not meant as a followup to my apology, nor was it meant as a reference to my initial comment which I apologized for. Rather, it was meant as a general jab toward what Kosmo said about how the board was in the early days.

Though I do think that this board is slanted in a way that doesn't reflect the taste of the typical music fan (e.g. How many discussions do we have about various jam bands (who sell lots of concert tickets), other than to summarily dismiss them all as garbage?), I wouldn't go as far as to say it's narrow. Certainly it's probably less narrow now than when there were a minimal number of members.

Neither does Rhett, but he thinks it makes him sound clever and snarky.

Yes, but are they in the same league as Tegan and Sara?

I think the only thing argued about in the earliest version of the forum was Guns N Roses homophobic tendencies. Particularly Axl's.

i did, if you recall, say that he may be spinning something different for this tour.

I have only seen him at clubs when he's spinning for a dancefloor. good to hear he didnt bore people to tears! wish i couldve gone.

ok so it's quite possible that the "hot" acts of woxy are discussed here, but whats wrong with loads of people feeling the same vibe from a band.

as far as people having the same tastes that just silly… econo and i have been around the longest and we have divergent tastes in what we like. although we usually agree on what sucks.

jam bands were for the most part ignored in the dark ages of the forum, seeing as they hadn't graduated to playing the club yet. still playing "off the chain" shows in frat houses on the east coast.

jam band fans have their own boards and would be bored here seeing as there is a lacking of concert trading, etc

Other than number 10, I don't recall anything more than passing mention of a couple of these bands:


9-8-2004 – Top 10 WOXY Bands:

1 Cake
2 The Donnas
3 R.E.M.
4 A Girl Called Eddy
5 Faithless
6 Head Automatica
7 Elvis Costello
8 Elliott Smith
9 The Faint
10 Guided By Voices


Don't forget # 16:

Drive-By Truckers

where I went to school, the people listening to jam bands were not frat boys, they were modern day hippies, frat boys were in to the beastie boys, not a slight on anyone, just the truth

Ok, compare that top ten to the current Americana top 10 http://americanaradio.org/ama/displaychart.asp?mode=lw

and tell me the amount of mention on this board that WOXY top 10 bands compared to Americana top 10 bands correlates with the sales of each.

It's not like this board is a WOXY board, or even a Black Cat or Iota board, all of which would tend to have skewed audiences. This is the 9:30 board, a club which books an amazing array of genres of music, but whose chatboard really doesn't reflect that.

maybe it's that brand of dmb jam band that came up via the frat circuit… of late.

regardless jam bands weren't on our radar and so why bother diss it… it was more important to talk about lesbian advengers

So now you are on a crusade for a proportional representation of chatboard participants based both on album sales data and the frequency with which artists in particular genres play at the 9:30 Club?

but it would reflect it less if we talked about Americana bands, since they almost NEVER play the 930 club.

furthermore, your continuing sales comment is very tiring. Sales have nothing to do with how good a band is , or how many people have heard of them for that matter….

i have heard of most of those bands on your little list and i think they suck and are boring.
