@IH-GARY Love it!
Alternatively, the Great British bucket hat stand off - Blur vs Oasis.

Are you developing a new product @Lynne?

Probably sell a few before the Oasis shows.

Heavy sunday rotations, El Michels Affair covers, Good vibes.

@Giles the documentary on her, "What Happened, Miss Simone?", is well worth tracking down.

Amazing Lynne - I look forward to seeing your new stuff!

[Giles]

Serious question.

Coldplay come in for a lot of shit. Why?

[Bridger]

[mclaincausey]

@Giles speaking for me personally, they sound like something made in a lab to appeal to as many white people as possible.

Bland, yet saccharine.

@Giles I liked the first two albums a lot. They went downhill from there imo, and part of the reason I don’t listen to their newer stuff, besides the increasing blandness @mclaincausey mentioned, is Chris Martin coming across as an esoteric weirdo

[Giles]

I think Chris is a complete tosser.

But then I think lots of amazing artists are tossers, but that does not make what they do bad, does it?

And, I think Guy Berryman is amazing.

Like, we're taking a load of shit today on FB for making clothes for tall, slim people

[Tago Mago]

@Giles true, and if I still liked their music I wouldn’t care.

[Bridger]

There is possibly an element of tall poppy syndrome from people who don't like their music and cannot understand their popular success (aka Creed, Nickelback and Swift).

Or they don't like DHL.

These takes on coldplay sound a lot like the current output of U-know who-2

Complete with insufferable frontman

[mclaincausey]

Yeah U2 is insufferable. I think Achtung Baby was the last one I enjoyed at least a little and Joshua Tree was their pinnacle.

As a short fat guy, I am a happy token diversity customer

[Matt]

I liked them when they first came out but now
their music and stage presence is nearly indistinguishable from the likes of Maroon 5. If you showed me a recent performance of theirs then told me they had just won American Idol I’d believe you. Their music is just shitty.

Same.
