Sin, you are literally the first person online or in person that has said that they disagree with pumped up kicks sucking.

I'll assume that is what you're disagreeing with, because disagreeing with Bowie is just crazytown.

I love that song. I think it's because I never heard it on the radio very much while everywhere else, apparently, over dosed on it.

It's pretty chill, has a dark subject matter and set to soem bounxy music. There have been many evenings I have just kicked back after the chores are done and listened to Foster the People. It just strokes me the same way that AWOLNation does.

Rocks:

The rest of the album, Grand, is seriously awesome as well.

Sucks:

Didn't even make it a full minute into the song due the spectacularly stupid lines as "You could be my black Kate Moss tonight." and "Do anybody make real shit anymore?" (when he's just rapping over a remix of Daft Punk's awesome Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger).

Well, Daft Punk is in the video, so they obviously worked with him on it, but yes, this is a shitty, shitty song.

Worked with or were kidnapped and forced to perform by someone's giant ego?

Perhaps they are...

I got your back on that one. That fucking kicks song is like the third song on the radio every hour on the hour here.

Disagrees on Foster the People and Lady Gaga; they're both pretty fantastic pop confections, even if they're completely overplayed into the ground. That Foster the People album is pretty much wall to wall pop singles. Good times!

I don't dislike all Lady Gaga... but I really do hate that one, no matter how well-put-together it might be as a pop song.

I fucking love Lady Gaga. I listen to her regularly, and love just about everything she's done.

But I'm with you on Poker Face. It's the only song of hers I dislike.

And that's why one of the local stations 'round here switches things up with the CLUB MIXXXXXX.

No. They are the worst band in the entire world. Period.
To quote Chuck Klosterman:
[Coldplay is] a British pop group whose success derives from their ability to write melodramatic alt-rock songs about fake love. It does not matter that Coldplay is the shittiest fucking band I've ever heard in my entire fucking life, or that they sound like a mediocre photocopy of Travis (who sounds like a mediocre photocopy of Radiohead), or that their greatest fucking artistic achievement is a video where the blandly attractive frontman walks on a beach on a cloudy afternoon. None of that matters. What matters is that Coldplay manufactures fake love as frenetically as the Ford fucking Motor Company manufactures Mustangs. . . "For you I bleed myself dry," sang the blockhead vocalist, brilliantly informing us that stars in the sky are, in fact, yellow.

Chuck Klosterman never heard Train.


#45

See, in my opinion, Train is just doing the best they can. That is there talent level. Coldplay... well, they are clearly a bunch of talented guys who, instead of actually pushing themselves and making good music, really settle for taking every sappy second out of any U2 or Radiohead song and squeezing it into a mediocre pop song you and your Mom can both listen to on the way to school.

Coldplay: "Rock and Roll" for you and your mom.


That won't ever be Moterheads tag line.


#46

ElJuski

ElJuski

which really is the essence of pop, though, right? It's catchy and only faux-dangerous. I mean, again, I hate Coldplay, but if the conversation is about pop, then wouldn't they be doing what they want, and doing it really well?


#47

Espy

Hey, they can and do whatever they want with their gobs of money and expensive production values, if this is what they aspire to then I'm glad they can play the role of "that one secular band all the kids in the Christian youth group are allowed to listen to because their parents think it's modern worship music". Someone has to do it.

I just think that where we differ is, because I know that's all they're doing, I'm okay with it, versus, say Weezer, which also has a ton of potential, but still tries to carry some sort of "cred". Coldplay doesn't. They just...Coldplay.

I enjoy Rise Against, though they've gotten a bit blatant in their lyrical content the last two albums. Personally prefer the second and third more than the rest.

Anyway.

R

Fun fact: Till actually had his cheek pierced to get that light into his mouth. Also, the whole song's basically about BDSM. Look up the lyrics and try not to cringe.

S

I cannot express my level of hatred for this song.
