Thanks to Steve for my favourite new word. Should Michael Jackson tour?

Can You Say WHAT TOOK SO LONG
yes he should have a concert can you say that it will be a “THRILLER”
Cliff, washington dc

Hahaha! Yes! Can you say it’s what “DIRTY DIANA” (may she rest in peace) would have wanted.

Oh Puhlease! – is a legend? – correction – was a legend – now yesterdays news! Give me Coldplay anytime.
David Grant, Winchester

Haha! Can you say “FUCK OFF WITH YOUR CANDLE-LIT STRAIGHT-FROM-WORK ROCK VIGILS AND WHINY NOSTALGIA-FOR-LAST-TUESDAY ANTHEMS. GREYLORD”.

Q: Why did Michael Jackson name his album “BAD”?

A: Because he couldn’t spell PATHETIC.
on 06 Mar 2009 at 10:27 am Mr Cat

is a legend? – correction – was a legend

Is he dead? Can you past tense a word that already occupies the past tense?

The Jacko thread has many gems.

What happened to his voice?
Sounds like a man again.

No I dont think he should tour he should hang his head in shame.

SHAME ON YOU MR JACKSON FOR SPEAKING LIKE A MAN AGAIN.

I say I say, my Michael Jackson’s got no nose!

How does he smell, I hear you ask.

BAD!

Anyway, imagine your favourite band being Coldplay, or Kings of Leon or the View or something. What a depressing musical existence that must be.

On the subject of music, who buys Snow Patrol albums? I mean, who turns on the radio, hears three minutes of someone reading and re-reading the last few lines of a suicide note, and thinks “I must have this noise for perpetuity so I can listen to it whenever I choose”?

Was there a big meeting at a record company where they identified a huge gap in the market for people who find Coldplay too uplifting? Or who think Radiohead would be trememdous if they just lost all of that annoying percussion and made Thom’s lyrics a bit whinier and less insightful?

Do you know anyone who admits to owning a Snow Patrol album? Do you suspect they do but won’t admit it for fear of being sectioned as a suicide risk? Do you own one of Snow Patrol’s chart-topping albums and see something magical in their mopery that “mainstream culture” lacks the soul to comprehend? Our researchers would like to speak to you. But only so you can be hunted down and given something to be properly unhappy about.

I have a Snow Patrol album- one of the ones from before they became popular. And I haven’t listened to it since they became the commercial radio friendly sub-coldplay indie bland they are today.

Apart from his nose job problems, what makes him a freak? His skin colour? How he dresses? His beliefs? His eccentricity? Is he a bad example because he worked hard and succeeded in the past? Or do you believe in the “no smoke without fire” viewpoint relating to the publicised court cases he was acquitted in?

This is brilliant – just like HYS.

Come on everyone – join the great debate.

Maybe Nelson could set up a topic “Do you like Coldplay?” and people could recommend different responses while the rest of us read in awe of the ownership or non-ownership of various albums.

I understand the hate towards Coldplay and Snow Patrol, but why Kings of Leon? Is it just because they’re currently ‘in fashion’?

What I want to know is why no-one is slagging off The Killers? “Are we human or are we dancer?” No, mate, you’re TALENTLESS, VAPID WANKER. Who can’t even pluralise correctly.

Snow Patrol confuse me – I liked The Reindeer Section, but SP are pissweak. Surely this can’t be because Gary Lightbody et al decided to churn out dreary populist guff in return for fame ‘n’ money, ahem.

Jacko is a total freak – the half-mast trousers and ‘ooh, I’ve wazzed mesen*’ cock-touching dance make him a total mental (not to mention unbearable twat) in my book, before I even get started on all the other bollocks. Plus, I can’t be the only person who thinks his music is absolute horseshit, surely?

*For non-Northerners, this means ‘wet myself’.
on 06 Mar 2009 at 3:22 pm Chris

When the first Snow Patrol single came out, I knew from the first two notes of their dirges that they weren’t a band I wanted to listen to, and would switch the TV/radio over whenever they appeared. As a result I never actually heard their first single for a long time, although I did have a dream where i was forced to listen to it. It was simply someone whining the words ‘snow patrol’ over and over again in monotone to no music.

When I did actually hear the song, it was essentially exactly the fucking same as the dream.
on 06 Mar 2009 at 3:27 pm Kelvin

Adding to my anger towards Snow Patrol is that I still can’t see them appear on a bill or hear them touted on the radio without thinking, for one bright and optimistic second, that it’s a reference to the song Snow Patrol by Alpinestars. The letdown makes them twice as depressing as just listening to them.

As for Kings of Leon, do I need an external reason? They sound like the final Beta Band album sped up slightly.

But even with some musical experience I am unable to say for sure who will be a success in 2009. At a guess I would say the Wolfgang Holzmair in the classical world, and Little Boots.

Bit Ordinary:

What I want to know is why no-one is slagging off The Killers? “Are we human or are we dancer?” No, mate, you’re TALENTLESS, VAPID WANKER. Who can’t even pluralise correctly.

Where to start? It’s pop music, not Eng. Lit. Moreover, he’s actually using “dancer” as a newly-minted adjective in rather a clever way – a way that obviously sailed miles over your head – in juxtaposition to “human”. Or are you actually demanding, in your whiny petulant way, that the lyric should be:

“Are we humanS or are we dancerS?”

Whatev. The Killers are great. You’re wrong. I’m right. End of.
on 06 Mar 2009 at 4:12 pm neil

“Are we human or are we dancer?” Don’t we have Hunter S. Thompson to blame for that?

Bill Bailey did a funny little mock of the Killers, “I’ve got ham, but I’m no hamster”. Well I enjoyed it.

I would like to add my disgust at the arctic monkeys, franz ferdinand and all the bands mentioned already.

I’d rather people debated more important stuff on this site. Like who’d win in a fight between Coldplay, Radiohead, Travis and Snow Patrol.

If they could throw some beefs around via the press and get all punchy with it I might rouse myself from a stupor to watch. Chris Martin could be dangerous – he’s tall and enthusiastic, which could make for some pretty handy haymakers, despite his frame.

The site of them charging each other onstage and brawling would be mildly diverting.

I once found this piece of graffiti on a wall backstage at a venue in Tokyo… kind of summed everything up about the Killers, I thought.

You see, you can look for an answer, many do and every day, and also it’s a well-established poetic trope to say you’re on your knees doing something or other, usually begging for whatever it is you’re on about.

Sorry, Rotwatcher, but The Killers are a band for people who are don’t really like music but feel they ought to like some group for when people talk to them about music. The ‘newly-minted adjective’ didn’t sail over my head – rather, it rammed itself straight into my brain, where I instantly realised it was shit; lazily and smugly created to seem like a profound and original examination of the human condition. Except it’s not. If that’s a clever use of the English Language then Topsy should be made Poet Laureate.

Mind you, I don’t hate The Killers, Snow Patrol or any of that other shite as much as I hate jazz.

(Incidentally, I like loads of different stuff, but am a big Pixies fan. Sorry I can’t make it more piss-takeable. Although I’m sure someone, if not you, will give it a go. Or maybe not. Either way, I’m secure enough in my own tastes to not be bothered by what anyone else thinks)

This sentence should go after every mention of Foo Fighters as a general rule.

Whenever I critisise them I always seem to get shot down with the same sort of response – How can you not like the Foo Fighters, Dave Groll was the drummer in Nivana?!

Most disturbing is when certain news channels don’t publish or even delete perfectly legitimate and popular comments from their Have Your Say pages because they don’t agree with the Party line…

Onion Terror, you’re absolutely spot on about the Foo Fighters. The Nirvana link means bugger all in the face of their dullness. And how come the Red Hot Chili Peppers are still going? Does anyone know anyone who actually likes them or buys their shit?! Their lyrics seem to consist solely of Kiedis making teenage sexual euphemisms and reminding everyone he’s a Scorpio.
on 09 Mar 2009 at 3:18 pm Kelvin

I once had to work on a promo for the Red Hot Chili Peppers where I had to listen to the same 30-second mix of about six of their best known songs not less than 200 times in three days. So if you think they’re bad when you get to listen to whole bars of their songs, you can understand at what point of my life I began to hate all of humanity.
