1970 - Phil Collins joins Genesis. Makes great pop music.
2007 - A bunch of overrated Nathan Barley's bunk off public school and make unlistenable bollocks to fill the pre-pubescent ears of Drowned In Sound readers who know it's shit but have to pretend they like it to look cool in front of their try-hard mates.

so...
two posts...two klaxons digs...
i sense your a normal poster just trying to stir up some troubles.
you're right
but what you fail to grasp is that the shitness of music of today is down to phil and the gen.
when they perfected everything thats good about music way back, they killed the belief of all subsequent performers that they could do the same thing at anywhere near a similiar level. thus other avenues had to be pursued. thus unlistenable bollocks.
unless you were drawing this link yourself
in which case, sorry
so all new music is shit is it?
you seem to have taken the 'everythings been done before so why bother' esque route, which is tripe.
lol
were u being sarcastic!?
its late!
yup
maybe a bit too deadpan
lets pretend this never happened!
a sure sign i should be asleep. off to listen to blonde redhead, you know, that band who are'nt as good as genesis?
yawn
precisely
Anyone who
criticises music for being "Nathan Barley" is an absolute retard, and I include Stealthy in that.
even if they are talking about
Test Icicles?
i agree.
Correction:
Feb 1981: Phil Collins releases 'Face Value'. Music is born.
this is like a post by the_glory, except worse.
bf
Genesis are shite
Phil Collins should have stayed in Flaming Youth
i read that as Sonic Youth
:|
I read that as Flaming Lips
:0
Wrong ^^^^^^^^^^^^
i think
its very easy to say 'music isnt good anymore'
but the way i look at it, there are always going to be people out there making great music, you just have to find it.
whats in the charts and whats popular isnt necesarily what youll think is good.
so this
thread wasn't quite as it was described in the guardian guide then.
what?
can't you see all the HATEFUL MURDEROUS ANGER we're directing at him
read between the lines
back when life was a touch more sweet.
this is funny
in light of that article. Pretty much every response is calm and reasoned.
Yeah
i even agreed. he didn't mention THAT did he.
cock
balls
I'VE GOT ONE
'Nathan Barley's' (sic) is a plural and does not require the superfluous apostrophe.
And you were employed by the Guardian!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
</anal>
INFRACTION
"...does not require the superfluous apostrophe" is a redundancy.
SUGGESTIONS:
1) "Nathan Barley's [sic] is a plural; the apostrophe is superfluous."
2) Nathan Barley's [sic] is a plural; the apostrophe is not required."
i like you.
:)
that isnt a grammar issue though.
it is merely a poor choice of words.
Ah! Hello cunt.
The word you're looking for is not redundancy but tautology.
Cunt.

Please also remember that no-one uses square parentheses unless they're a computer nerd. Use the circular ones.
I hope your entire family is killed.
now now
stop trying to get into the guardian (guide).
damn!!
that was my stab at newspaper fame!
[sic]
requires square brackets.
but he is an nme writer.
he bums new music more than anyone.
the twang anyone?
I don't see why it does require them
other than to give people who have sex with their own mother the upper hand. Whilst I have now gone onto Google and researched it, I neither understand a) who decided it or b) on what basis they decided it.

The above post wasn't directed at marke. I simply want to ask the question: is there a point at which correct usage stops serving the purpose of making the English language clear, instead becoming a way of segregating the rest of us from self-proclaimed 'intelligentsia'?
.
i don't usually correct people's grammar. personally i don't really give a fuck how something is punctuated or spelt on the internet, but you were sort've inviting it.
square brackets are usually used to make the point that whatever is inside them wasn't in the original text.
Very creative journalism
By an utter cunt.
Publish that, bitch.
potd imho

I thought this was quite amusing
we all know that indie kids are indeed elitist scum - and I say that as one and proud of it, but you should take it as a compliment that this board was chosen to spearhead the uberindieness of the internet.
and at least he didn't target the pitchfork board.
I still can't workout what band he's talking about though...
Pitchfork
has a board??
lol
this was feeble wasn't it?
^racist
^^^fascist
For the benefit of the Guardian Guide i only buy stuff by bands from Lapland who put their guitars through Atari Lynx game machines and sing through bullhorns... like the Klaxons
music was good sometimes ?
No !
YEAH!
Down with NOO MOOZIKK!
By the way - it's now spelt "NOO MOOZIKK!". Keep up...
Good one, Prole!
:D
