10. Karen O sang a song for the closing credits of Tim and Eric...

[omega minimo]

14. Thanks I'll look for that

:hi:

[Blue_Tires]

17. it was the "cinco brothers" episode

[no name no slogan]

12. No No No

They were pretty lame on SNL last week. They reminded me of a warmed-over Siouxsie and the Banshees, but without the charisma or fashion sense of Siouxsie and without the intriguing musicianship of Budgie, Severin and the dearly departed John McGeoch (the best guitarist the Banshees had-- sorry Robert Smith).

[omega minimo]

13. O O O

Sound and presence on Letterman was good, esp. strong for a trio.

I like that she's doing what yes reminds us of past rock goddesses but still has her own disctinct style and who else is doin it?

[no name no slogan]

15. Well, Siouxsie is still doing it, for one...

Recreating the past is easy, especially when somebody else has already paved the way for you. Interpol, I'm looking in your direction, too.....

Doing something unique is another story all together. I like to listen to something and not have any idea what else it sounds like when I first hear it. If I can listen for a minute and point out that it sounds a lot like something else I've heard, chances are it won't hold my interest.

And they're not a "real" trio either. They've got other musicians playing with them-- not to mention the sequencers, etc.

Don't get me wrong, they're okay. However, they don't blow me away, like the first time I heard Stereolab, or My Bloody Valentine, or Neko Case.

[omega minimo]

16. I agree with you

"I like to listen to something and not have any idea what else it sounds like when I first hear it. If I can listen for a minute and point out that it sounds a lot like something else I've heard, chances are it won't hold my interest."

Esp. if we grew up in more musically diverse and original times, copycat stuff is beyond boring.

Her thing seems to be coming from somewhere deep, tho. She's not a poseur. I hear more a Chrissie/Patti/Lenya Lovich thing in her yelp, but it's still hers. You're right, if she reminded me too much of a copycat of Siouxsie or the others, I'd tune out.

How many women rockers are there these days? Maybe part of it is just glad someone picked up the ball that got dropped a few decades ago......


yes and Sioux still rocks. :thumbsup:

[no name no slogan]

22. I'm still going to give it another listen though

One impression is difficult to form an opinion of it. A friend of mine recommended a few things I'd probably like so I'll give it a listen.

As long as it's not the Dead though. That stuff sucks. :P

[omega minimo]

30. Why?

"As long as it's not the Dead though. That stuff sucks"

Just because it's always the same damn SOLO? :evilfrown:

[mitchum]

23. YYY's guitarist is incredibly lame even when one doesn't compare...

him to the great John McGeoch
Karen O and the drummer are servicable, but that lameass guitarplayer doesn't even rise to the level of servicable

[no name no slogan]

27. McGeoch was so beyond guitar players

He even made the talented Keith Levine look like Mick Mars by comparison.

I seriously miss McGeoch. He was a phenomenal talent. Given the current crop of guitarists coming up these days, it makes me even more sad that he's gone. :cry:

18. Devo-uncontrollable urge

21. Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah YeahYeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TY, loved it. I love when punk had humor.

Jello Biafra was a big Devo fan before starting DKs

[Rambis]

39. Jello

we went to a show and were standing there- Jello comes up to my friend and says "I like that T-shirt wanna trade?" It was a grateful dead t-shirt he wanted-

[omega minimo]

43. Did your friend trade? What was offered? Jello likes Kitsch and the Dead are that for sure

[Rambis]

44. Friend had the dead shirt

but I can't remember what Jello gave him?

[mvd]

19. Favorite CD - It's Blitz!

They are not a fave of mine, but they've gotten more to my liking on each new CD. Songs like "Little Shadow" expand their horizons and are more folky than even some singer/songwriter ballads. :hi:

[omega minimo]

20. cool -- i'm gonna get me some

:hi:

[Arugula Latte]

24. You know, I almost hate to admit this, but

I prefer bands with male lead singers. I'm a woman, and I don't know why I have this preference, but I do. On the other hand, I've liked the Pretenders for years.

[Mudoria]

25. Suck

[Zavulon]

26. Yech yech yech.

I'll never get the appeal of this band. My girlfriend loves them and I have to listen to that shit every time we drive more than five fucking miles. :puke:

[Kat45]

28. Nah Nah Nah!

Blech! Couldn't even sit through the whole song on SNL. So instead of watching them on Letterman, I opted for Airborne Toxic Event on Leno. I like that song, "Sometime Around Midnight."

[Danger Mouse]

29. I can't get beyond how much I hate the name of that group.

They could call themselves Funky Pig Droppings and it'd be a better name.

[omega minimo]

31. !!!

ever heard of !!!



I don't really care if Yeah Yeah Yeahs is dumb because ya know what? THEY'RE NOT JOURNEY and that's ALL that counts.



JOURNEY SUCKS

[Danger Mouse]

33. Yes, I have, and !!! is an awful, pretentious, name for a band.

Blech.

[omega minimo]

34. LOL and REPETITIVE!!!

Blech. Blech. Blech.

[sniffa]

35. The Indigo Girls are better

Just saying.

[Lex]

36. LOL -- I always get those 2 bands mixed up.

nt

[omega minimo]

37. Which album is their most ROCKINEST?

:thumbsup:

[sniffa]

41. I'm partial to "Fresca."

Clearly their best work.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

38. are awesome and Karen O needs to marry me

that is all

[tigereye]

40. hmm, I think Brody Dale could take her, though

[Teaser]

42. I'd do 'em.
