useless Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Indie music is pretty awful for me, full stop, of all the popular musics it's my least favourite genre. I guess bands like Tala Impala are sort of reviving the 'Britpop' sound. For some but not for me. Edited January 15, 2016 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted January 15, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2016 Most of my friends are into Tame Impala but I just can't get into them at all. Way too soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Tried my hardest to like Ocean Colour Scene and the Bluetones. But it just wasn't to be. As for Tame Impala, can an Aussie band be britpop? I guess so. Tried them too, when the Super Furries stopped releasing records, but again, felt a bit like an imitation / lesser version.

I'm pretty sure the 'Brighton Beach DJs' are going to be the two fat lesbians, who used to play every Indie night in Leeds, back in the day.

It means in the grand scheme of things Radiohead are quite M.O.R these days (not a criticism in of itself), and if yer edgy enough, there's more interesting things out there to listen to.

Maybe M.O.R was the wrong phrase. I didn't mean it in the sense that someone might call Coldplay or Keane 'Middle of the Road'. Compared to a lot of music that gets a lot of attention from the usual sources like NME, Pitchfork and similar, then I guess they stand out quite a bit. But when measured against a wider choice, in particular the very artists who influence their more experimental side, they begin to sound a bit more safe.

Fair comment in one regard they're not "edgy", but equally they're not unadventurous - they evolve and for a band that's been going so long, they've hardly made a bad record and they've made as many really great ones as any other band I can think of. Most bands do 3 if they're really good and really lucky. I reckon Radiohead have made at least 5 absolute stone wall classics. And if anyone ever makes a better track than "there there. (the boney king of nowhere)" from Hail to the Thief, they'll be the new kings of the world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
