The One Band That Really Bugs You - Page 5

radarmaker · 08.07.2008, 06:32 AM

Low's version of Transmission takes some beating.

SYRFox · 08.07.2008, 06:36 AM

Tortoise's version of As You Said is really great. Even if I don't know the original

terriblecanyons · 08.07.2008, 06:48 AM

The Ting Tings and U2. FUCKING HATE BONO AHHHHHHHHHH

Ripchord · 08.07.2008, 06:51 AM

Vampire Weekend. Ugh.

atsonicpark · 08.07.2008, 07:00 AM

Who is Vampire Weekend?

Seriously, I am at a loss about some of these newer (?) bands you guys keep mentioning.

I reckon you mean this one:

atsonicpark · 08.07.2008, 07:04 AM

Yes.

I think it's good, it doesn't change too much from the original but it has GAB's usual dual-bass and distorted-guitar style. I dig it, though I'm not too interested in covers either way.

ZEROpumpkins · 08.07.2008, 07:04 AM

Fuck Vampire Weekend. Such a cool band name wasted on such a crap band.

atsonicpark · 08.07.2008, 07:06 AM

I guess I just don't understand how everyone here has heard this band. Obviously, I can download their album right now or look up on myspace/youtube/etc but what actually made them popular enough for people on this board to know about them and decide they didn't like them?

Onani Nic · 08.07.2008, 07:09 AM

Radiohead
The Mars Volta
Battles
Fuck Buttons

I don't know why the last two really get to me but they do.

atsonicpark · 08.07.2008, 07:10 AM

Yeah, Battles aren't the best songwriters in the world.

ZEROpumpkins · 08.07.2008, 07:11 AM

Mars Volta I can understand but Radiohead and Battles????

Danny Himself · 08.07.2008, 07:25 AM

The Sex Pistols (wow! so punk! amirite? NO)
Black Kids
Anything 'produced' by Mark Ronson (wannabe Danger Mouse)
Agyness Deyn (not a band but I hate her)
The Kaiser Chiefs
Razorlight
The Kooks (again)
Paul Weller
Oasis

basically anything slapped on the cover of NME;

atsonicpark · 08.07.2008, 07:39 AM

Ohh, so why did.. uh.. P!ATD scrap a whole album? I MUST KNOW!

They basically got a lot of popularity on blogs and became an overnight sensation because they're four pale ass white kids from Brooklyn that incorporate "world music" into typical indie pap, not to mention that everyone said they sounded "fresh" even if their entire schtick is blown off of Paul Simon's Graceland album and Eno-produced Talking Heads.

People seemed to stop caring about them a few months ago, though, thank fuck.

atsonicpark · 08.07.2008, 07:50 AM

Cool, thanks for the info.

Never heard anything else of MGMT, but that Electric Feel song is kind of addictive, very Princey.

my friend was telling me that Swans covered Love Will Tear Us Apart, i'd like to hear that (if it's true).
