So? The pride of Scotland? Or maybe just this years NME-hype? I think there are some some really good tracks in their album, but the Hype is a bit bigger than their music, I think. |

The hype is not bigger? I guess you are a hardcore fan? :P |

To be fair I have only heard the single... and I hate it. Radio stations omit the opening which is in my opinion far preferable to the rest of the song. The singer sounds just like Jon Crosby from Vast but it doesn't really help em... |

seems like a well done garage rock version of Joy Division. The lyrics for the single are bad to the point of embarrasment though "I say you don't know, you say I don't know, I say..." It sounds like the sort of thing people do where they're singing along to a song they don't know the words to. |

ive heard the opening riff to what i suppose is the single.. sounded pretty interesting. but i find a lot of bands have a habit o starting well, then letting themselves down as soon as the vocalist opens their mouth & the band enters the verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus+repeat-to-fade section of the track. i'm also dubious of anything rags like the nme start referring to as the 'next big thing'.. its a silly prejudice, i know. some bands that gain recognition really do deserve it. but the music press (& those that follow them closely) have a tendancy to get carried away. every 12 months we get a new musical 'revolution' - then once theyve sold a few hundred thousand units (thanks largely to their overexposure by the media) theyre turned on by a pack of hungry wolves + torn to pieces for 'selling out' and not living up to undeservedly high expectations. but, like i say, i havent heard the song in its entirity. :) |

|
|
what made you think a show called 'real sex' would book a decent act to play? |
||||||||
|
|

|
anus just skipped double r's in both names (real sex + Franz). is that common? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Franz Ferdinand werre on the other channel. Real Sex had moved into 'sex starrved old people' territorry as it always does in the end so skipped channel. i was hoping it would be the foot fetish episode. again. it wasn't. |

yeah. i know what you mean. the main broadcast-channel here in norway, NRK, have this ongoing demo-competition where you can send in your music and some jury of professionals will chose one artist every week as "artist of the week." it seems like artist of the weak is more like what they choose. most of the week winners are annyoing zeropersonality pop/rock bands, and at this years final (which was at the bylarm festival, which was here in bergen this year), 50 people (the first 50 to be there that evening) with voting-button-thingies counted for 50% of the score for each of the finalists, while four judges counted for the other 50%. when listening to the bands which were nominated, even the jury started talking about "this sounds like all the other pop/rock out there," and they were the people who nominated them in the first place! the audience who had the voting buttons were crap-heads.. they were most likely friends of one of the bands, because the most shitty bands got lots of votes from them, while the judges voted in the complete opposite direction. oddly enough, the end result was that the band which actually was the best band ("Side Brok": hip-hop in Norwegian, with "sunnmørsk" dialect) got one of the lowest audience scores (even though they were the only band to get cheers and clapping even before, in the middle of, and after their song was played. all because of the stupid fashiongay poprockers with the voting-thingies) and the highest jury score, and won the competition. i seem to have lost my point, but it is a nice story. |
