Can I just clarify, in the proper thread, that i DO NOT like Guster. I never have, and never will.

It was simply a question because a Guster fan-friend of mine is coming to visit over Labor Day and i was thinking it would be nice to take her to see them.

geeeeeez.

No need to get defenseive over a band you like (or don't like). I like Dasboard Confessional, who is ruefully hated by the vast majority of the board. Don't hide from your true self sonic…release yourself from the bonds of the status quo.

Yeah, I think guster kinda sucks too though.

Yeah, i definitely dont like Guster. I just think people were taking it a little too far, and not in just one thread, so i figured i would let it be known that i dont like Guster. In fact, I dont like much "folk" music at all. which is why i was ribbing Rhett about liking shitty pop folk bands.

I think the more popular the band is, the more they suck….apparently. cause I thought the Mars Volta was being talked up at one point.

And i read Q not Spin, get it right…besides, who listens to a Canadians opinions anyway?

So if Guster is sucky folk pop, then what are the Jayhawks, and is it reasonable that i dont like Guster, but I really like the Jayhawks?

Sonick doesn't like indie rock, and he thinks people who do are snobs.

From what I can tell, Guster is more from the collegiate/frat Dave Matthews school of music, whereas Jayhhawks are more alt-country/70's rock…unless you're talking about Smile or Sound of Lies, maybe they are in the sucky folk pop category.

Sound of Lies is not folky at all, and IMHO is a damn fine album. Closer to Power Pop. Smile is crap though.

I'm pretty sure he was saying:

"I believe I have fallen for you.

Why do you hate me?"

moyen = mean (although can mean average too)

detest = hate

I believe you are mean.
Do you hate me?

online and most other general forms of translation arent usually right i have found, it only gives you a basic gist, but words that look the same with different meaning , can be confused there.
