That's nice.
You tell 'em Steve Dave!
Sean is now setting co-ordinates for your house
marilyninthesky this'd this
To be fair, they are proper shite
Hawaiian Air is superb.
I only started listening to them lately and I think they're well good.
He's watching a film with a talking dog in it
not sat by him, I felt so silly.
I can't really decide what I think.
Really, REALLY like a lot of their stuff. Find a lot of it really meh. Quite often think both within the space of the same track.
Okay, I've decided to see them live. Tickets booked.
Even if they do have only a few good songs, those songs are WELL good.
I saw them at their small gig
In St Albans. The only thing that saves them is his dancing.
Oh and the drummer.
I have no idea what they look like.
I don't know what a lot of bands look like. I thought Tame Impala were short-haired officemen for some reason, until I saw them recently.
agh.
I just watched their new video. They look like what I imagine cliche guevara of The Social Board looks like.
I do fancy him

His akward dancing is hot.
Still shit though.
yep, they're rubbish
but apparently it's because I am too old to get them but then my friend pointed out that they have turned into Duran Duran and I am unfortunately old enough to remember that they were rubbish too
1968 eh? I was born the year after and I'm struggling with a lot of this
eighties-alike stuff.
Abe Vigoda and Wild Beasts leave me unmoved too.
Is it the fact that it's just our early teens rehashed or am I alone on this?
I thought the same about Wild Beasts
Until I heard them do an acoustic set on 6 music and it was really beautiful.
I totally agree!
The problem is that it is the crap eighties stuff that is being rehashed now and whilst it was just throwaway school disco pop back then, now for some reason and in desperation it is seen as cool and cutting-edge. Just actually listening to the new Memory Tapes album on Spotify and....it's forgettable synth-pop rubbish, ditto Metronomy. Actually Memory Tapes is worse than rubbish.
yEAH
I always think of The Fiery Furnaces when I hear their name.
The whole falsetto-dance movement
was invented in a Radio 1 meeting room after Golden Skans blew up. It was probably the same committee that invented K-bands, and post-Bloc Party (which they lucratively sold to soundtrack FIFA 10).
conspiracy alert.
could it not just have been that some of those bands got influenced by klaxons, played a load of gigs and were signed by the record labels trying to cash in on their success?
This is sometimes, truly,
the most humourless place on earth.
well it wasn't a very funny joke anyway.
Probably not...
...if you didn't get it, no.
I did get it.
Just didn't think it was very funny, and felt like being a bit of an annoying cock so decided to ignore the fact that it was a joke.
That probably sounds like im making excuses now.
It really does
yes
I thought you loved him and his dancing
Oh you addressed that up there ^
I don't know why I even remembered that
I really like them
The synth rush thing on the new album has been done a million times befoore, but it still sounds great, and songs like Chimes are really nice, well written songs.
live those days tonight
is great!
the LCD influence was always obvious
but saw them at glastonbury again this year and they couldn't have looked more desperate to plug the gap LCD have left. The singer may swell have been dancing around in a tshirt saying 'i am the new james murphy'.
having said that, theres still too much hate for them on this thread
I definitely didn't mean to This this.
LCD? Friendly Fires? What?
I really should be used to the pretentiousness of this forum by now
but now and again members remind me exactly why I don't talk about music or politics with people at parties.
Go and see them live, and still tell me you cant see it.
I have seen them twice live....
pretense*
and pointing out that your link between two bands is utter bullshit is not pretense, it's pointing out that your link between two bands is utter bullshit.
for the record. like most of their singles, neither album has grabbed me.
I like them.
I didn't realise they were so disliked. Paris, Jump in the Pool, Skeleton Boy, and Live Those Days Tonight are all great songs. I like Hawaiian Air but that line about the dog is a bit jarring.
they sound like cover versions of bad big beat remixes of landfill indie bands
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YY03OwaCCFA
This sounds nothing like friendly fires.
yeah they do cover versions of that
they add their own flair to it of course, I couldn't find a bently rhythm ace remix of klaxons you see, cos thankfuly it doesn't exist.
Yeah they're crap.
If I was being flippant I'd say they sounded like the bossa nova setting on those keyboards at school played at double tempo with a 'landfill indie band' trying to do a Foals (remember them?) cover on top of it
If I was being obviously-deadly-serious I would say its a sinister reappropriation of highlife done in a colonists mindset.
Actually I blame foals for introducing to the mainstream
wearing your guitar really and playing as if you're really moved by the music and the only way you can express it is buy jerking about like a prick and waving your fringe from one side to the other. Can't believe I liked that band when I was like 16.
at least...
Foals, Klaxons and Friendly Fires have nice taste in dance music. Pretty sure they've all done nice DJ sets with a load of quality stuff in. It doesn't translate into their bands work for me though. Foals and Klaxons were kinda fun and raw at one point though, don't think I've seen that side of Friendly Fires.
You see, I quite like Friendly Fires
but have always thought Klaxons and Foals were/are awful. I don't personally hear much of them in FF- I hear Thompson Twins. This is a good thing.
That's the worst thing about pretty much every indie band ever
Jonny Greenwood is the worst for it. Looks like an absolute dickhead and the least cool person ever when he's arsing about with his head.
Love the first album
but really don't think the second one is nearly as good. Still think the world is a better place for having them around.
Wham! for the blog generation
haha perfect
but Wham had better tunes
^he's a soulboy
he's a dole boy
he takes pleasure in leisure
he believes in joy
I really like them
and I reckon they`ve moved up a gear with Pala. I doubt there`s been a better produced and enjoyable pop album released this year.
You don't really "hate " Friendly Fires.
I "hate" homophobia, the Nazi's 'Final Solution'and Animal Cruelty (oh, and possibly cheese and onion crisp.
I don't "hate" bands, artists, or musical genres and and neither do you. If you did you've got some really warped priorities but you haven't so you don't.
There's always some smug bastard (I'm not smug but I am a bastard) who talks about "hate" being a really strong word that's used inappropriately and they're bigger bastards because they're right.
Hurting
from Pala is one of the best songs I've heard in ages
the rest of the album I can take or leave
I really liked the first album too for about a fortnight until Late of the Pier released Fantasy Black Channel and ploughed part of a similar furrow with a much more bountiful yield
Having said all that, I like what they're doing and the fact that sometimes it doesn't quite come off doesn't bother me so much because when it works it's pretty great
