Planet of Ice got an A- from the AV Club, usually a pretty good review site :)

Planet of Ice got like a 0.2 on Pitchfork.

more like a 7.2 (owned)

At my high school alternative music meant Audioslave, Muse, and Jack Johnson.

man you are so much better than them

make a thread about it!

'I like alternative music' = 'I own a copy of OK Computer'.

Literally, this was the alternative culture at my high school. Most of the people in my high school didn't even have the internet when I was there though, except the seriously rich kids, and they kinda didn't need to be a part of the alternative scene.

That makes me feel so old.

Iai, before there was Internet, did you guys use homing pigeons to chat?

nobody in my school listened to anything more alternative than Tool or The White Stripes (at least until i found ATDI in my senior year)

its not TOO much different in this rural college town but i do find the occasional cool iTunes library

No one at my school listened to anything other than Nelly. Or maybe The Strokes.

most people at my school listened to mainstream rap, pop and/or rock, pretty standard teenager stuff really. although these days from what i've seen quite a few are into arctic monkeys, the strokes, bloc party etc

Yeah some people at my school were into Wolfmother.

everyone at my school was into stuff like Dispatch Sublime Slightly Stoopid all that reggaeish jammish broish stuff. but i sent stuff to all my friends on aim and when people liked it caught on. i turned people onto Ratatat, Air, American Football, Pinback, Broken Social Scene.. those were mainly the bands that caught on with them and after a while i stopped sending people bands that i discovered because our tastes moved apart a little bit. my friends from high school cant listen to anything with the least bit of aggression or noise

Yeah, that's what PM means - Pidgeon Messaging.

I think my rep has like doubled in the last 3 days and I have no idea why.

i didnt like American Football when you first introduced me but now i like them because i've disconnected them from you in my mind :)

oh good! glad that worked for you! :)






















:confused:

aaat my jr highschool prople were pritty much into rap and hip hpo and that pop stuff but now at my high school i'm pritty sure there is a large quanty of people who don;t care if their music's cool all they care about is that if they like it or not! i think it's cool!

My high school had a lot of fans of alternative music, and our music scene is incredible.

For example, I could name at least 5 kids I went to high school with who have heard of the Mae Shi, who grace our current listening party.

Arctic monkeys and bloc party are pop music. I still like them.

My school was either pop or System of a down/tool crowds. We didn't really have much metal heads besides the odd bogan metallica fanboy. I suppose NZ is hardly a metal hotbed though

most of my school listens to lil' wayne or korn

Even the "alternative" kids at my school weren't into anything that alternative. Very straigtht and narrow. I didn't start getting ionto "good" music till i left school.

I coined the term "indie."

i came up with the title for Suddenly Susan

I would've never thought that anywhere in the U.P. would have a good music scene. I don't know why I assumed this.

[QUOTE=Conky;15217166]aaat my jr highschool prople were pritty much into rap and hip hpo and that pop stuff[/QUOTE]

better than mainstream indie/alternative tbh

Most people listen to Hinder, Three Days Grace, Nickelback , 311 etc. at my school. So I talk to very few people about music.

I love my college radio station. It's almost always good.

I like XMU channel 43 and occasionally Ethel channel 47. On XM satellite radio, that is. I haven't heard a regular radio station playing music I like in a long time.

This post is flawless.

There was an indie radio station sponsoring the Blonde Redhead show a few weeks ago, but apparently I don't get it.

yeah blonde redhead promotion goes over most people's heads

And the station reception also.

Most people at my school listened to metal or christian rock, not too many people were into indie stuff.

I mentioned the Pixies once and this bro said "they sound like some sort of chick band."

Hopefully I meet cooler people at college.

edit - I found out yesterday I got accepted, I start Tuesday :-D

where?

community college >~<

Vancouver Community College.
