xilddx Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 [quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1384696016' post='2279531'] I don't think this original. [/quote] I agree, it's highly derivative, but that doesn't make it worthless. I almost never hear music that can be termed 'original', and when it does pop up occasionally no-one wants to hear it anyway because most music consumers are inherently lazy and need to be herded by opinion formers. Interesting that the band are managed by the guy who manages Sigur Ros. Clearly he can see through the curtains.

xilddx Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1384696688' post='2279545'] It is the sort of racket that I like, but referring to them as 'fairly reasonable' is a bit of a diss! It's like saying they are 'enjoyably mediocre'. Which they're not. Mediocre, I mean. [/quote] I had titled it "I F****** LOVE This Band!" but a mod edited it to 'blimmin' because implied swearing offends people apparently, even with 90% asterisks. I therefore changed it in a fit of pique to reflect my disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassmonkey Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I really like this track. Got chance to see em recently. Gave it a miss then heard Husbands on Radio 6 music yesterday and immediately regretted not going. Love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowender Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I think there's a lot of mixing of reviewing of the band and reaction to the band. A reaction requires no defense or explanation. It can be like a Benny Hill skit -- everyone knows it's just dopey, but if it makes you laugh, it succeeded in doing what it intended to do. That has more value than attempting Shakespeare and bombing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilddx Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 Really enjoying the album. Strangely, the opening track starts with some spacey film clips stuff, then solo bass that sounds like Geddy Lee, then the band and the singer comes in, and she sounds a bit like early Geddy Lee, it's most odd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G27S0f2FOI8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Wow, I was thinking about Lena Lovitch as I wrote that, actually! Lena Lovitch was the first pop star I ever met, funnilly enough. She was American , but had been living in Hull (!) . That culture shock explains a lot about her image at the time, I expect That song "Lucky Numbers" was genius. Someone ought to do a cover version , I'm sure it would be a big hit again nowadays.
