I'm crying in recognition.

Is there an emoticon that adds a hint of ruefulness.

In fact from now on maybe I will just conduct all conversations about these albums via LINE.

Really coming around to the rerecorded "Sex"

i think i like it better now; it's probably just the way they produced it but it seems brighter and more energetic

emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Saturday, 31 August 2013 14:39 (ten years ago) link

way i worded that suggests i should be bizarro in the legion of doom

emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Saturday, 31 August 2013 14:40 (ten years ago) link

lol at rtc's order of tracks starting off with "this is how it starts"

emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Saturday, 31 August 2013 14:42 (ten years ago) link

I KNOW YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SALVATION IN THE SECULAR AGE BUT GIRL I'M NOT YOUR SAAAAAAVIOR

emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Saturday, 31 August 2013 14:43 (ten years ago) link

well yes exactly!! xp

the missequencing i'm most butthurt about is 'money' though, shows its clever hand just that bit too soon now

Funny thread!

I think I would end up liking these guys a lot if they were played on the radio all the time

rooibos in disguise (wins), Saturday, 31 August 2013 14:45 (ten years ago) link

a false moment i can never have again, truly i am having the realest crash course in this album

r|t|c, Saturday, 31 August 2013 14:46 (ten years ago) link

emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Saturday, 31 August 2013 15:51 (ten years ago) link

Ah rtc I only listen to mersh radio at work and 1xtra at home. 3 sometimes on a comedown and I occasionally pretend I listen to 4 but I don't really

rooibos in disguise (wins), Saturday, 31 August 2013 16:00 (ten years ago) link

This is okay but I'm not sure I'm really feeling the magic.

Matt DC, Saturday, 31 August 2013 16:37 (ten years ago) link

but you concede it is magical, your honor the defense rests

k3vin k., Saturday, 31 August 2013 16:43 (ten years ago) link

r|t|c, Saturday, 31 August 2013 16:53 (ten years ago) link

r|t|c, Saturday, 31 August 2013 16:56 (ten years ago) link

these guys are playing for free here next week, do you think they'll be more swoony dreamy emobient live or more shitty indie plodders?

RAWK of Agger's (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 31 August 2013 17:04 (ten years ago) link

Dunno what you're talking about m8 xp

rooibos in disguise (wins), Saturday, 31 August 2013 17:06 (ten years ago) link

srsly think i'm just gonna leave 'settle down' on loop and call it a day, there are no other songs in the world

idk what you're on about but they're great live

emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Saturday, 31 August 2013 17:22 (ten years ago) link

sometimes they play "head.cars.bending" and they make it pretty massive

I was thinking more of Moon.

Tim F, Saturday, 31 August 2013 22:29 (ten years ago) link

nice - moon was actually the correct choice here. you passed the test

乒乓, Saturday, 31 August 2013 22:34 (ten years ago) link

I listened to Chocolate and the EP version of Sex again and I think I'm starting to get hooked. Kind of afraid.

Finally tracked this down (as opposed to listening to the stream) and took it with me to the gym. Most emotional session ever.

"M.O.N.E.Y.", "Settle Down", "Girls" and "Menswear" are all thoroughly ~my shit~

Tim F, Sunday, 1 September 2013 06:03 (ten years ago) link

I like how "M.O.N.E.Y." and "Menswear" are like like parts two and three of a trilogy started by "So Far (It's Alright)".

Tim F, Sunday, 1 September 2013 06:05 (ten years ago) link

Kinda feel like Paramore's 'It Aint Fun' is a first cousin once removed to like half this album.

I’m pissed off for greatness (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Monday, 2 September 2013 04:52 (ten years ago) link

tru

J0rdan S., Monday, 2 September 2013 04:55 (ten years ago) link

"girls" is so good

J0rdan S., Monday, 2 September 2013 05:00 (ten years ago) link

also the final 2 mins of "settle down"

J0rdan S., Monday, 2 September 2013 05:04 (ten years ago) link

and the first min of Pressure

Me & Mahomies (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Monday, 2 September 2013 05:06 (ten years ago) link

Just did a road trip to San Diego with the wife sans kids for a childhood friend's wedding. This and Paramore are pretty much all we listened to there and back and driving up and down the coast. I haven't had an album strike me down like this in a long time.

Me & Mahomies (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Monday, 2 September 2013 05:12 (ten years ago) link

Sort of enjoying this. Sounds like a cross between Prefab Sprout and John Waite in both sound and vision.

i'll be your mraz (NickB), Monday, 2 September 2013 10:51 (ten years ago) link

Don't know anything about this mob but, somewhat bizarrely, they were on this yesterday

Tommy McTommy (Tom D.), Monday, 2 September 2013 11:18 (ten years ago) link

Haha Matt if you come on board with this as well it will be perfect, a giant cosmic reverse-birthday-present for Lex.

I vomited on his living room floor instead. Which I think on balance would have been the preferred option of the two.

Matt DC, Monday, 2 September 2013 11:19 (ten years ago) link

Tabs with unlimited 0's
New clothes
Bloody nose
Powders and walking back home
Has he got enough weed?
No
Broken phone
Retching on the floor alone
I can't believe that we're talking about him

Tim F, Monday, 2 September 2013 11:22 (ten years ago) link

What's up with this dude's accent by the way? I can't work out what's going on with his vowels at all, if someone hadn't told me they were from Manchester I would never have guessed. They've got an inherent Aussieness to them that I can't put my finger on.

Matt DC, Monday, 2 September 2013 11:26 (ten years ago) link

perhaps its an unfortunate consequence of the dude's oral fixation

r|t|c, Monday, 2 September 2013 14:21 (ten years ago) link

and i've been thinking lots about your mouth

emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Monday, 2 September 2013 14:42 (ten years ago) link

mouth in every song it seemed to me

r|t|c, Monday, 2 September 2013 15:11 (ten years ago) link

True, ergh... cannot un-hear.

MikoMcha, Monday, 2 September 2013 17:24 (ten years ago) link

lol, always happy to help

r|t|c, Monday, 2 September 2013 17:48 (ten years ago) link

as per upthred it's really kinda amazing how many names you'd be within your rights to throw at this lot

my uncultured mind added vampire weekend, my chemical romance, the streets, savage garden...

r|t|c, Monday, 2 September 2013 17:55 (ten years ago) link

lol @ savage garden

k3vin k., Monday, 2 September 2013 17:58 (ten years ago) link

yeah, like, a "related acts" matrix for this band would be crazy/divisive/hilarious

J0rdan S., Monday, 2 September 2013 18:05 (ten years ago) link

arctic monkeys for poptimists

J0rdan S., Monday, 2 September 2013 18:06 (ten years ago) link

aw hell let's toss The Outfield into this stew too.

first I think it's time I kick a little verse! (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 2 September 2013 18:12 (ten years ago) link
