I am really enjoying both albums they ahve done at the moment. Bossa Nova covers of new wave songs WHAT MORE COULD A MAN ASK!!!! i really like the cover of the dead kennedys - too drunk to fuck and echo and the bunnymen's killing moon. Great stuff... bring the Bossa! |

can't stand the stuff, thank god the hype over this went as quickly as it came. |

I like how the boomkat review says "“Nouvelle Vague” is a concept AND album that could so easily have fallen victim to cliché or tired novelty" as if it didn't fall victim to cliché or tired novelty |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
what sort of cliche? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i loved the first album... i think they could have done more with the theme, but the new record is really awful. three good songs - that is it. the rest are unlistenable to me. |

I don't understand. |
||||||||

|
covering songs from a genre that contrasts with the style the cover is in. also see: easy tune (Mike Flowers Pops, as Dan mentions, for example) |
||||||||
|

nouvelle vague is unique though. |

||||||||
|
|

|

uniqe in a way that no one else does it like him/them. |

this thread has fallen victim to cliché and tiresomeness |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but in a unique way. the music's shit and no more than a novelty, but this thread is uniquely tiresome. |

are you saying you listened to it? *takes away hugs* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
by accident. Brian Molko was listening to it and I was standing in his vicinity, throwing angry looks at him. I was too late to avoid the dastardly music. give me back those fucking hugs. |

it sounds like anything else within this genre, plus they probably got the idea from that guy singing david bowie in the life aquatic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey come on, its not good because of novelty, its just nice listening its nice versions. Stuff like richard cheese is novelty this is actually listanable and nice! |
||||||||

i would be very happy if you could point out some similat stuff mister. |

I'm sorry, I suck at names, but I don't hear anything in this that I haven't heard in other bands in the same genre. possibly a slight difference in that they seem to have "café chatter" on almost all their songs instead of only a few. |

Miss Marple thinks yru full of it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
miss Marple has nothing to say against Hercule Poirot, mais non? just because I suck at names dosen't mean I don't know what I'm talking about. if I were to say "the 12th president of the united states of america was an idiot," I may still know who I'm talking about without knowing his name. |

Don't care for them that much but anyone that covers a Tuxedomoon song, even though stripping it of its personality, deserves to exist. |

I have not heard Bande A Part yet, but I quite liked the first album. |
||||||||
|

|
|
fact is: it's a coverband. ha ha. |

back in the sixties (america anyway), records like these were hugely popular... herb alpert built a career out of covering pop songs like this. brasil '66 is basically the original nouvelle vague. the idea is pretty old and has been done to death, but it is interesting that nouvelle vague takes a specific genre, they're newer songs that appeal to a certain younger generation... their first record was fresh because it's just different enough to work. |

i bet you like alarm will sound! COVERS BAND! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i'll check out alpert, thanks. not too fond of brasil 66 though, but i only know very little of their discography i reckon.. |
