Jet
Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

Liked the review, twas spot on. Made me laugh!

Jet aren't funny now, but in twenty years we can hopefully look back on them with a smile on our face. We will enjoy them in the future as we can a very low budget, 80s action film now. Where you all sit around stoned out of your face late at night, enjoying some of the low points in artistic creativity.

Well that's what I aim to do.

Jet, they make me remember not to be a miseralbel cu*t all the time. Take heed gents.

of listening to this track on the radio or the Zutons new single I would def have to opt for Jet. However this got a 0/10 while Zutons got a 5/10.

I really don't think its worth nill points is it??? That puts them on Par with the fooking feeling ?!?!!

"(They even make hand-claps sound shite, and for any song to manage that is nigh-on unheard of.)"

Space Oddity anyone?
(Obviously still a belting tune, shite claps aside)

review this shite? You could just listen to it once, throw it in the bin, never write a review and the world would be a safer place.

makes things more realistic really doesn't it?

Look at that photo. Dear god...

You really are all cooler than cool aren't you? I bet if Jet were an unsigned band playing the toilet venues of London you'd be creaming your pants over them right now, praising the fact they're great fun and know how to write a catchy tune.

DiS really irks me sometimes. This song aint a 0/10 and you know it, you just thought it'd be really cool to slag it off.

Ah well, at least you kept the regular DiS punters happy. Now, let's all go and give a 10/10 to some arthouse wankery that only three people in the world have ever heard of....

put that in your metric pipe and smoke it !!

Space Oddity has some charm to it.

Wolfmother?

Don't see it myself.

i couldn't give two flying ones about being cool. i like a lot of bands that "DiS punters" are readily known to slag off - The Libertines, Keane, some U2, Coldplay - and detest some that are quickly praised on here too - Ryan Adams, Guillemots, Bright Eyes, Get Cape etc. i like to give people a chance and i'm not going to go by what i think will keep the "regulars" happy other than attempting informed reviews. i listened to this song more times than is quite comfortable against my will trying to find some sort of merit, and there is nothing. Really.
And i don't care if people are hiking around toilet venues 'keeping it real', a shit song is a shit song. Take my recent 'appraisals' of Neon Plastix and The Everyothers, bands that were unknown to me before they arrived through my letterbox and are hardly eating up the charts as we speak.

The only band of recent years that i think have done well what Jet are trying to achieve is Young Heart Attack, not because they're more obscure or more 'hip' but because they bring a spark of vibrancy, feeling and excitement to what they play. Jet's song sounds thoughtless and tired and cringeworthy.

If you like Jet then fine, i've not got a problem with that. But i'm not going to pretend that this song is "fun" and "catchy" and all that just because it goes against what people are expecting. That would be as redundant as merely giving the punters what they want to look cool. And i'm not going to stand around and take accusations when i don't.

i'm going back to my arthouse wankery now. Bye!

Blinkered? I think you talk too much and think too little.
xx

i assume you're not blinkered.
Although you assuming that somebody doesn't like certain music purely for their perceived 'coolness' didn't go down to well with me, no. But arguing my case doesn't mean you've necessarily 'touched a nerve'.

Thommo, these guys are right. You've been a tad too critical of the new Jet single. A zero, really? No. A zero is my four year old niece on a Playskool Xylophone. This song is a solid 1, maybe even a 2.

The funny thing is some wanker Madison Ave exec is going to pay Jet a half million dollars for this shite to sell iPods or Toyotas. So I guess Jet gets the last laugh. The song deserves a point that, methinks. 2/10.

...you even listen to Jet music, you automatically give them a one. Very predictable when it comes to Jet you lot are. I don't like them but there is a lot worse out there, I mean that Janet single, a 3?! I'd rather listen to this.

realism's way overrated. Have a little daydream, you might like it.
