There's a band called the Wombats? People, I expect you to keep me informed of these things.

Why do I not have your disk? Were you afraid you would have to get mine?

i was inadvertently inconsiderate of your feelings.  i can whip one up for ya, but i think i threw away the envelope that has your address on it.  maybe youll get it to me.

[wombat]

I sent you a disk? I remember none of this.

You could just email me a file of a song by the Wombats - this is something you kids today can do? -  and I'd be willing to call it even.

[wombat]

Huh, I never imagined wombats with that accent.

I haven't listened to GKA's mix in a few weeks.  I think it's time to give 'er another listen.

Replace the "!" with an "i".

[Drygioni]

what else would he talk about? j/k

my mix cd had a song called "lets dance to joy division" by a powerpop* band called the Wombats


*is it true that powerpop made by british bands is what is meant by the term britpop?

Wombats are not Britpop

Britpop is kind of a cross between indie, Madchester and stadium rock tinged with '60s influence, be it Kinks, Zombies or Beatles. Think Blur 'Country House', Oasis (I hate Oasis), Pulp, Suede

Basically, clever sing along songs which are equally at home in a gig or home listening environment. May be danceable but not funky.

I am not a Wombats fan but in the interests of neutrality instead of calling them 'terrible' they are definitely of an alternative rock/pop flavour, which has crossover with Britpop but which is not Britpop. Powerpop isn't a term used much over here but is more used to describe stuff like Avril Lavinge. Wikipedia seems to corral more with your definition actually

fuck that shit!!!  avril lavigne is a talentless fingertrap.  the only difference between her and hillary duff is she used to be married to that dude from cum41.

(it totally sounds like im a bitter music-cock.  im not sure where that mini rant came from...)

I lolled and do not disagree with the above statement.

It would seem over here, or at least in my case, we are in the minority when we define powerpop though.

I've been in a very Morrissey Mood tonight. Well, it is 9am so I guess "night" doesn't really describe it any longer. But in any case Moz is my main dude right now. That and that San Berdoo Sunburn song someone linked a few pages back. That shit is amazing.

[dejavroom]

These two versions of Gesualdo's "Moro Lasso", nonstop, lately:

Can't decide which sounds the scariest (wait until the end...)

[Arachno-capitalist]

We listened to this nonsense for a week straight while I was down in NC.

"Gogol Bordello is a Gypsy punk band from the Lower East Side of New York City, formed in 1999 and known for theatrical stage shows and persistent touring.
Much of the band's sound is inspired by Gypsy music. The band incorporates minor-key accordion and violin (and on some albums, saxophone) mixed with punk and dub."

Live shows must be a blast.

[Mr Trout]

I'm actually gonna go see them next month at Red Rocks. They're opening for Primus - who is the real reason I'm going to be there - but I'm still a fan of Gogol. Good stuff.
