Nick: I assume these aren’t actually girls?
two boys.
I’m sure there there must be a reason for that.
he sounds like a young Elvis Costello.
it’s interesting.
they’re eh……sort of finding their way.
it’s quite inconsistent.
some of it was quite retro, old fashioned rock n roll, but then they stopped being retro and added…..interesting bits.
I like his voice as well, it’s not as Elvis Costello as I originally thought, but yeah he has that golf ball in the throat kind of voice.
back in the early days, when they didn’t have a name, do you think someone said to them ‘you’re a right pair of girls!’, and they said ‘a-ha!’.
it’s possible.
{track 7 – Headache}
now they sound completely different.
well, not really.
{track 8 – Lauren Marie}
it sounds like he’s saying ‘oh lord of the rings’
he is, he loves eh….Frodo and all that.
really?
not really, he’s saying ‘oh Lauren Marie’.
it’s very good, I liked it, or like it.
they have a ‘sound’. I would probably recognize them again if I heard them, whereas a lot of bands at the moment, I find you listen to them and then half an hour later you can’t remember a thing because they sound like everybody else.
I always wonder what that has to do with? Most of them are based on the same instrumentation, but there’s so many other ways of making notes.
same with symphony orchestras.
I guess it’s just the staples, stuff that everybody likes.
if you start making a symphony orchestra with all these odd instruments in the place of violins, would be people like it?
it’s something I often wonder about.
and they certainly don’t sound like girls.
is that a good thing?
well….it is for two guys.
Trying to think of what to write here I googled ‘sexist jokes’ and that got me thinking; are sexist jokes gay?
