Pet Peeves

Apart from that time he had his front teeth knocked out in a row. But yeah, he's an insufferable twat.

[John Kimble]

The only reason Liam puts on the cringy hard man act is because given his fame and wealth he knows he is never going to be in a situation were he ends up in a proper row with someone.

Sure just look at his public 'spats' over the years...Damon Albarn, Robbie Williams etc.
I won't even give them the first two albums. Couple of earworms sure, but an absolutely average band. There's very little required of them other than to bang out a few hits in front of some very drunken punters, and I doubt they'll do it with any great energy or enthusiasm.

Up in Dublin today visiting family, there was a line out the door of the merch shop, opposite the Stephens Green Luas stop, way down into Grafton Street this morning, just passed it again, 6 hours later, still a big, big queue of people who are Mad For It and want us all to know. They're making some serious money today. Town is filled with their uniformed legion.

[open face surgery]

Have absolutely no issue with Oasis. That merch shop qas there for 2 weeks or so. Crazy amount of money made between that and the gigs.

[ijnjnijnilijbibbjknkjbjkk]

Yeah, same. They're fine and fit a certain niche well. That audience jumping along in Manchester was insane. Compare that with Helheim playing the deadly Jormundgand at Beyond the gates. Sacks of dead spuds in that crowd. So depressing to look at. At least Oasis is a good day out.

[astfgyl]

They're not exactly offensive are they like. I'd never throw them on of my own volition but like it isn't so bad as to bother me in the slightest.

Which might be the worst insult of all in a way I guess

[Ducky]

They're one of the most popular bands on the planet, not exactly "a certain niche".

[ijnjnijnilijbibbjknkjbjkk]

Ok fair haha. My perspective is warped. Didnt know they were big in America.

[Putrefaction]

Ha, well said Pentagrimes, couldn't agree more.

Mark Lanegan has a great story in his book, that he went looking for Liam at some gig/festival after he heard him mocking his band calling them "Howling Branches". Liam wouldn't go anywhere alone without his bouncers tagging along after that. Scared shitless. Lanegan would have mangled him I'd say...

Lanegan is every bit the mouthy twat Liam is. Completely insufferable cunt. The difference is he made great music, so he gets a pass.

I hated Oasis and Britpop in general at the time, but it's kind of nostalgic now so I don't mind it. Would take Pulp over any of the others.

[Ducky]

Suede for me. Pity auld Lanegan isn't around to make tubes anymore, and a Yowling Branches reunion will never happen.

Today's peeve is Apple. Helping a friend migrate and recover stuff from her iPhone, and it's such a pain in the hoop vs. Android.

Getting a new phone, an identical model to the last one, same music player, simply pop in the original SD card with all the music. The discover for some reason, 80% of the artworks aren't showing.

[Carnage]

Did you tag them with the art before adding them to the phone or did you do it through the phone? With the player I use (Blackplayer) if you tag them on the phone it doesn't add the art to the files.

I'd be the same, If an Oasis song comes on the radio I find I don't be as enraged by it as I do be with a lot of the muck that comes on.

As an aside man, we were on about Mr Bungle there a while ago and I said I'd give them another blast.
It is as I remembered it. its just a personal opinion, but to my lugs the "music" of Mr Bungle is the worst kind of scutter ever committed to tape.
Complete fucking rubbish, ear rot. Fuck them cunts and everything about them. I'm actually enraged thinking about them, I don't even have to hear the cunts. (sorry now, I know ya like them)
