X-POST: THAT'S HOW THEY ARE TEH GOODNEZZ.

I don't know this "Jawbreakin'.". Based on what B&S I've heard (comp of stuff prior to last 2 lpz), FF are better.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 20:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't remember now. Something cheapo and unusual? I saw them once.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I am one degree of separation from Th' faith Healers. Though this is England we're talking about.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 20:28 (twenty-one years ago)

― sometimes i like to pretend i am very small and warm (ex machina), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 20:36 (twenty-one years ago)

hahahaha. TRUE.

― Helios Creed (orion), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 20:42 (twenty-one years ago)

hi tim. you are a dick. th' faith healers pwned.

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 20:44 (twenty-one years ago)

2nd loudest band I've ever seen live. second only to AC/DC!!

― Roy Williams Highlight (diamond), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 20:47 (twenty-one years ago)

TFH's were awesome. FF are not awesome. End of story.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 20:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Th' Faith Healers were not "awesome." They were pretty good. Franz Ferdinand are also pretty good.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 21:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, when your best song is a cover it's really no big deal to compare some soon to be forgotten band to you.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 21:11 (twenty-one years ago)

d00d, their best song was "DON'T JONES ME"

― Roy Williams Highlight (diamond), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 21:15 (twenty-one years ago)

which record please?

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 21:16 (twenty-one years ago)

that's on the same one as "Mother Sky" -- Lido

― Roy Williams Highlight (diamond), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 21:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I like the advancement in chops, sound quality, and songwriting quality that a band like FF represents for their genre. That's ALWAYS been a big Achilles heel for indie rock (generally speaking).

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 21:25 (twenty-one years ago)

quickspace?

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 21:31 (twenty-one years ago)

They were pretty good, weren't they? I never got to hear their later Matador album.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 21:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, when your best song is a cover
Whoa, that was probably the worst song on that album! Search Spin 1/2 like your life depends on it.

― Mondo vs Squeezit (Thor), Thursday, 14 October 2004 01:38 (twenty-one years ago)

THIS THREAD IS STUPID. THE STROKES ARE BETTER THAN FRANZ FERDINAND.

ITS ONE THING TO LIKE A BAND THAT SUCKS, FINE. YOU LIVE TIM. BUT ADMIT THEY SUCK, (CAUSE THEY DO, DOOD)...GUILTY PLEASURE AND ALL... BUT TO DRAG A BAND THAT, AT THE TIME...WAS REALLY AWESOME...(SHOE GAZE, TOO PURE, STEREOLAB ET AL)...INTO A COMPARISON IS JUST RETARDED. ITS LIKE COMPARING APPLES AND THROAT CANCER.

ID SAY FRANZFERINAND IS BETTER THAN COLDPLAY...THAT'D BE FAIR. BUT ID TAKE COLDPLAY OVER FRANZ FERDINAND IN A HEARTBEAT.

― DEEBZ (ddb), Thursday, 14 October 2004 02:29 (twenty-one years ago)

been drinkin, deebz?

― Helios Creed (orion), Thursday, 14 October 2004 02:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I'LL BE STRAIGHT WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: FRANZ FERDINAND DO NOT SUCK. THEY ARE NOT A "GUILTY PLEASURE." THEY PLAY VERY WELL AND HAVE A GOOD SOUND. THEY WRITE GOOD SONGS. THEY ARE FUN AND GOOFY. I LEAVE IT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO DECIDE.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 14 October 2004 03:00 (twenty-one years ago)

DEFINE GOOD PLEASE.

Other than that and your lame jokes you seem like a perfectly good dude.

The Gibson Bros. didn't make it to Louisville.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 14 October 2004 17:00 (twenty-one years ago)

The Gibson Bros were based in Columbus, I would almost guarantee they made it to Louisville at one point.

NOT IF THE ROAD TO LOUISVILLE IS PAVED WITH FIRE.

"These strawmen you keep constructing"/"You champion a lot of CRAP on this bored"

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ONCE AGAIN MY OPPONENT IS DISTORTING THE FACTS. NOTE THE USE OF THE PLURAL "STRAWMEN," I CHALLENGE MY OPPONENT TO IDENTIFY THE OTHER "STRAWMEN" I AM ALLEGED TO HAVE CREATED ON THIS BOARD. SIMILARLY, MY OPPONENT ALSO TAKES THE FACT THAT I LIKE FRANK FERDINAND AND TURNS THIS INTO THE SUDDEN ALLEGATION THAT I CHAMPION "A LOT OF CRAP" ON THIS "BORED." I ALSO CHALLENGE MY OPPONENT TO IDENTIFY THIS ALLEGED "CRAP."

ALSO: RUNNING WITH THE OLD MAN/SENILITY LINE = GOP RUNNING WITH THE "NUISANCE" LINE, THE "GLOBAL TEST" LINE, ETC. DEEBZ, YOU EQUATING "TAKE ME OUT" WITH "DO YA THINK I'M SEXY" IS THE ROUGH EQUIVALENT OF SWIFT BOAT VETERAN TACTICS.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 14 October 2004 18:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I firmly, yet solemnly, agree.

ah, yes, WE'RE the conservatives while you champion timid shit like FF and REM. Uh huh, yeah.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 14 October 2004 21:31 (twenty-one years ago)

nothing like a good old indie rock catfight to cure boredom.

I am not pissed off at Tim's Rove-like proxy making false accusations and Momus-comparisons.

(Also: REM are democrats.)

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 14 October 2004 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

REM haven't made a good record in over a decade. But they did some okay stuff a long time ago.

― DEEBZ (ddb), Friday, 15 October 2004 11:44 (twenty-one years ago)

GYGAX EXPRESSED TEH INTEREST UPTHREAD. FIERY FURNACES ARE OUTDSTADING. I AM SORRY YOU NO LIKE. "SMITTEN" = HAHA CHARACTERIZATION.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Friday, 15 October 2004 14:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, you mean on the blog? None of the hatorz comments ("It's not memorable," "It's boring," "Sounds like Rod Stewart," etc.) particularly STOOD OUT, you might say.

― DEEBZ (ddb), Friday, 15 October 2004 14:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Who rocked harder, the Three O'Clock or the Dream Syndicate?

without question, the Dream Syndicate.

― jack cole (jackcole), Friday, 15 October 2004 15:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I disagree. Songs that come to mind are "Her Head's Revolving" and "Simon in the Park" on Arrive Without Traveling and probably a lot of the stuff on the Salvation Army album.

Also: DEEBZ = KASPAR SZUMLACK?

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Friday, 15 October 2004 15:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't think of The Dream Syndicate without thinking of Karl Precoda's "Halloween" which may not "rock" any harder than any other PU band, but is by far my favorite song of the subgenre.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 15 October 2004 15:55 (twenty-one years ago)

TIM ELLISON = 15 YEAR OLD GIRL?

― DEEBZ (ddb), Friday, 15 October 2004 15:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't wait to hear these guys... seriously for people who enjoy Radiohead, you guys really cast a lot of stones from your glass houses.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 15 October 2004 16:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Dennis Duck is a giant, be it with LAFMS or Dream Syndicate. a very underrated man.

i am selling my radiohead CDs.

any takers? i only have the bends and okcomputer. my roommate stole them last year for like three months and i didn't even notice!

― Helios Creed (orion), Friday, 15 October 2004 16:03 (twenty-one years ago)

you would have to pay me millions to take the radiohead,

― jack cole (jackcole), Friday, 15 October 2004 16:04 (twenty-one years ago)

i know :( what about OTHER CORNY INDIE CDS?

― Helios Creed (orion), Friday, 15 October 2004 16:05 (twenty-one years ago)
