[dilettante]

You're a bit late, kid.

[Naveed Afzal]

You're a bit late, kid.


how am i late? they've been around awhile yes, but im by no means 'late'

[pixiesfanyo]

NO, you're a bit late.

[Naveed Afzal]

how so? im not following you.

[dilettante]

Stars already hit their peak and are currently on the way out.

[bleep_bloop]

lay off the pitchfork, man

[Naveed Afzal]

Stars already hit their peak and are currently on the way out.


so what? the music is good, thats all i care about.

[dilettante]

It's time to get away from Arts & Crafts.

[morrissey]

I like Stars a lot, caring about whether they've already peaked or not is retarded.

[dilettante]

It was a joke.

It's hard to like Stars when everyone talks about how great they are; the hype tainted the music and the letdown was tremendous. I can appreciate the music and recognize that they're a talent group of people, but I wouldn't listen to them if I didn't have to.

[Naveed Afzal]

thats their label right?
sorry if Im late but ive recently started listening to 'indie or alternative' music, i have no idea what genre they are or anything...

Perhaps you can help me from being 'late'

ive been listening to these bands lately if you know them you can show me music by other bands like them...

Majorie Fair
Inkwell
Now Its Overhead
French Kicks
Home Video
Imogen Heap

theres more but im just not sure whats Indie or Alternative, its just music to me... I love listening to music, its a huge part of my life, but im sorry i cant be SUPER uptight about what other people like in refrence to what I do.

Don't worry about them, they're either joking or they're elitist assholes. Just listen to whatever you want.

Indie's really not a genre of music. Of course there are a few prevalent genres within indie, but not all bands in those genres are necessarily indie. To be indie you have to be unsigned or signed to an independent label. People think indie's a sound. Well, it's not. I thought I should tell you before someone says otherwise, and you end up being a ****ing chump, bothering the hip and elite with dumbass questions, like, "Is Conor Oberst writing another album?" or spouting bull**** like, "Sonic Youth is the biggest indie band ever." If you're going to start wearing scarves wear a sweater with them. You'll look ridiculous without one.

If you're into finding artists similar to the ones you already listen to, try allmusic.com or tinymixtapes.com--they'll only list similar artists if they've reviewed an album by any of those bands. There's more, I'm just too goddamn lazy to write them down.

[Naveed Afzal]

I wasnt really asking you... sarcasm doesnt carry well over the Inet.

Ha, im prob commiting a sin as far as you are concearned, but who Conor Oberst?

heres the thing, ive been on these forums for ahwile longer then the little # under my name would suggest, i dont venture much outside the bass and jazz/funk forums because i find most of the people outside of it to be elitist assholes, and trolls, you fall under both categories. ive found myself liking a couple new bands, in music in a scene, ive never liked before, so i come here because i hope a couple decent souls could point me in the right direction concearning them. honestly, i used Google, and wikipedia before i came here, because i knew some asshole would try to flame or insult me because i like them, or they are 'old news'. if you have nothing constructive to say shut the **** up, and dont post.

[dilettante]

I couldn't make sense of that post.

Calling me an elitist is the biggest compliment I could ever receive.

Congrats

Although I don't find them very consisent in their albums, they write great pop songs. Along with the other Arts & Crafts bands. Plus their girl singer is fantastic.

Hehe, I read all your posts in a boring, pretention, monotonous voice..

Yea, Stars are a great band! I just got into them too.

[dilettante]

Thanks.

Don't listen to them then. I'm pretty sure no one's going to kick your *** if you don't.

What a bad post.



I like Stars a lot. They write some bad songs and some phenomenal ones. The chick is awesome.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

I've only heard the album Heart, but I find it reaaaally cheesy.
It's pretty good, but very cheesy.
Is Set Yourself On Fire less cheesy?

[Luxor]

Ha, im prob commiting a sin as far as you are concearned, but who Conor Oberst?
I like you

[dilettante]

I don't listen to Stars.

[JonM]

I don't listen to Stars.We gathered that.

I like 'em okay. I bought Set Yourself On Fire, and it's enjoyable. I haven't really been in the mood for a long time, but I liked it last time I was.

[dilettante]

It was in response to breadman or whatever's post. I guess I should have quoted it.

[Naveed Afzal]

I like you

I could google or wiki, who he is... but im sure you guys would give me a GRAND answer...

Edit: nm

I hate it when people look over my shoulder but my lady informed me he is "Bright Eyes"
