On here or in person? Does it matter either way or if I'm a friend of his? I didn't say I was leaving after I agreed with YOU, silly!

For me most new shit is just that: shit. What comes out today just seems oh so very derivative as to be almost a complete ripoff of the past. Radiohead is an unknown quantity, but I read somewhere that their sound was rather derivative of XTC. So, because of that they are Band-X…as in Band-X sound just like Radiohead/emo wannabees.

BTW, XTC WAS orignial, at least the first two albums…until they fired Barry Andrews. Then they went and got all Beatle-y.
i'm as big of an xtc fan as the next and yes in a sea of punk and prog rock they came off as orginial, but surely they didn't invent all by their lonesomes edgy pop songs with keyboards. garage rock bands were doing that in the 60s…

and if it would get boring if they made the same record over and over again, they themselves were somewhat bored when they released the dub versions of Go2..

I'm pretty sure it is Dupek. Couldn't you tell from the flood of threads the other day?
i thought dupek's user number was 1826 or something. but i suppose he could have two….Laura? care to reveal yourself?
I can actually only tell who's who from the preview pane on the 9:30 site. For some reason, it shows the user's original username.

And now he's apparently the host of Blind Date…
Roger Lodge was the host of Animal Planet's Funniest home videos, as well as other nature documentaries like Elimi-Date.

That plus I kinda like the sound of Roger. Roger as you might be aware, is Cockney slang for 'shag'. And Lodge means dwelling, as in Shaque dè Amore, but I loathe having to explain myself.

Nonsuch is too Beatle-y
nonsuch is the one album of theirs i've never really listened to very much… maybe it had something to do with all the songs Andy was writing about raising children something i couldn't relate too..

say what you will about the "originality" of The Strokes, The Decemberists, Belle & Sebastian, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand when they broken on to the scene they stood in stark contrast to whatever crap was being blasted from the airways or having "mass appeal". Which is likely why their careers will last longer than most unless of course the drugs, alcohol or record company do them in first.
