yr right, I might have been confusing "influential" with "interesting". But am I wrong in thinking that Pareles is neither one nor the other?

"Maybe we're too feminine for the masculine and too masculine for the feminine."

Translation: "We're all hung like hamsters."

"Maybe we're too feminine for the masculine and too masculine for the feminine."

IT'S CALLED MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD DUMBASS, QUIT 'EXOTICISING' IT.

"a more up-to-date list: U2, Radiohead, Kraftwerk, Brian Eno and the Icelandic droners Sigur Ros"

now that 'back to the future' reference makes sense!

and a more up-to-date list: U2, Radiohead, Kraftwerk, Brian Eno and the Icelandic droners Sigur Ros

yeh, woah! they're light years ahead of their time!

jesus.

shit, x-post.

and chris, this is why people hate you: because you spend so much fucking time worrying about what people think of you. stop responding to every piece of criticism, stop changing your set list because of a mediocre review (how little self-confidence can this band have?) and ... ach, just stop.

This gets really old after a while. I guess everyone has to hate something. I like the new record. The last one got really old really fast, due to overplay (mostly by my fucking neighbors!!). The first one is great, still great.

I just don't understand why everyone is so angry at Coldplay around here. If you don't like "middle-of-the-road" bands, there are much worse enemies out there to strike out at. And how many I-Hate-Coldplay threads and posts does it take before you realize, "Hrm, maybe we've made our point."

It's like this is metafilter, and Chris Martin is GW Bush (a more deserving target). Geesh.

"a more up-to-date list: U2, Radiohead, Kraftwerk, Brian Eno and the Icelandic droners Sigur Ros. Much of the latter list is evident on “X & Y,” which often has a chilly, 1980s-inspired sound."

---Ok first what the fuck doesn't? Second THAT'S the uptodate list that inspired an 80s-sounding record? Can this guy fucking read? I guess tho liking shit that's 20 yrs old is kinda uptodate for a "rock band" right now. I quite like Coldplay, too. As it goes.
