the 1975

where can I go to end my turrican hell

Actual hell, iirc.

Many would call it a protest song, though Healy is dubious. “Hopefully it could be used on a montage for the times, but it’s not going to change the times,” he says. “It doesn't provide a solution.”

I have such low standards for musicians' level of insight into their own work (or capacity to reveal it in interviews) that Matt's generally OTM little statements about his music are always a bit more surprising to me than they should be.

Don’t forget killfile!

Or perhaps you could attempt to argue why - in 2018 - it isn't one of the most tedious/lousiest/boring angles to promote a record with.

Christ, not even Damon Albarn circa 13 was this crass.

Anyway, one thing I'm looking forward to is seeing how the forthcoming two albums stack up against each other... Will they have two distinct approaches or more like part one and part two? Will people treat it as a Load/Reload or Kid A/Amnesiac and start making their own compilations/ideal tracklistings? How far will they reach stylistically over the two records? Etc.

i mean everything is pr when you're about to release a record but matty actually went to rehab

i'm still struggling to figure out what you're really complaining about: the nature of profile writing over the past several decades, the nature of promotion over the past several decades, the nature of being a band with an album to promote over the past several decades

changing the subject abruptly is definitely the only way turrican admits that he's full of shit

Christ almighty, Brad - if you have to ask, then I suppose you will never know. If the band are as interesting as they say they are, then perhaps they'd be better off talking about the most interesting part - their music. Matt Healy's drug habits are anything but interesting.

Changing the subject abruptly? I gave you an entire three fucking hours, Brad.

it's so cliché that he did this thing he actually did, what a wanker!!!!

OTM.

i nearly had forgotten that you think people get addicted to heroin on purpose, thrilled to be reminded

I guess you would be thrilled to be reminded of something that I never actually said.

However, I do look forward to reading what little I can about The 1975's forthcoming music in between paragraphs of a spoiled brat waxing lyrical about his drug habits and the dumb lifestyle choices he makes to colour in his black hole of a personality.

It's okay, though - I think Billy Corgan is a prize tit as well, and I still like his music.

i don't understand why you continue to do this when so many people have asked you to stop..... what do you get out of it

I'm discussing the promotion/PR of the forthcoming album by The 1975 on a thread about The 1975 on a forum about music.

yeah but nobody wants to talk about it with you. what's your fascination with posting in this thread? surely there are other places for you to go

this thread is something enjoyable that you make unenjoyable, it's incredibly selfish

What's my fascination with posting in this thread? Well, I guess that would have something to do with the fact that I'm looking forward to The 1975's next album and as a result am reading this thread and press surrounding the album.

That people are throwing their toys out of the pram because I have the nerve to like this bands music while thinking their singer is an idiot is not really my problem.

no you're just a dick lol

If we could get back to discussing the music rather than the Cult of Matty bawling away, that would be wonderful.

you started it!

there are 51 reasons to killfile this asshole and talk about cool stuff like this great band

I think there's a chance people are still annoyed because you spent five years trolling this thread and the end of year lists any time they placed about how much you hated them. It's not that you disliked them, it's how you expressed your views over and over again obviously looking for trouble or to get a rise out of their fans. Now it just seems like that even though you've come around to the music, that people can already see the pattern where you're going to bring up how much you hate him as a person every single time. The repetition is tedious and I honestly don't know how you can be bothered with this style of posting all the time.

there's no new music to talk about, so we're talking about this story, a conversation you're derailing, even though people are pleading with you to stop. you can't just come back when there's a conversation you can actually contribute to? i don't get it.

I think what people need to do is stop getting aggressive when people say something they don't like about a member of a band they like. This conversation wouldn't have taken the turn it did had this not happened.

actually this is simply about people asking you to stop and you insisting that you don't have to, which is technically true but insanely exasperating. so here we are.

lads

Ironically (and I literally made this very point two hours ago) Matt is actually quite smart and perceptive in his analysis of his songwriting and the interview contains quite a few examples of that.

It's a shame that everyone in this thread other than turrican seems only to want to talk about drugs.

surely it must be possible to dislike a band (I dislike this band, a lot) without being branded a troll

like, if you want a The 1975 Thread For Stans Only (All Others Keep Out) then the title should probably be changed to reflect that

Many would call it a protest song, though Healy is dubious. “Hopefully it could be used on a montage for the times, but it’s not going to change the times,” he says. “It doesn't provide a solution.”

Hmm. This isn't particularly enlightening - I mean, it's pretty much a given that any kind of popular music is going to soundtrack the time in which it was released in some way or another, and Healy wouldn't be the first musician to have ever said anything like this.

Lol @ u

so track titles and details so far:
I Like America and America Likes Me
I Always Wanna Die Sometimes
It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You) - "synth-pop anthem"
Mine - the jazz/lounge/swing one
I Couldn’t Be More In Love - "soul power-ballad"
Sincerity is Scary
Be My Mistake - "acoustic ballad"
Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America

also fantastic to hear that they're planning Notes to be "intimate, nocturnal and cinematic" - their Hats?

<slips into westworld host reverie> a whole album of songs like “falling for you” and “haunt // bed” and “undo” and “anobrain” </wakes up on surgical bed>

enjoying this new single by their labelmate No Rome, co-produced by George and Matty. they've said he contributed in some way to A Brief Enquiry too

surely it must be possible to dislike a band (I dislike this band, a lot) without being branded a troll

surely it must be possible to dislike a band (I dislike this band, a lot) without being branded a troll

yeah it seems pretty easy to dislike this band without being a troll

i’m not even fucking defending matty ffs i’m just saying getting mad about a profile for bringing up his heroin addiction when he was actually addicted to heroin is fucking dumb

but then again turrican recently was a huge shithead about this re: demi lovato so i’m like NOT SURPRISED

like, if you want a The 1975 Thread For Stans Only (All Others Keep Out) then the title should probably be changed to reflect that

?? we’re reacting to a chronically shitty poster

who has trolled this thread for years

god i’m never talking about this band here again christ

noooooooOOOOOOO what have i done

brad wouldnt do that to us

I don't know the comprehensive history of who is and who is not a troll, this is just my reaction based on how things appear in the last series of posts

turrican is a troll forever, always

How it breaks down:

Katherine: Dislikes this band / is not a troll

Turrican: Likes this band / is a troll
