JEFF THE BROTHERHOOD.

they are so good.

the guitarist has a signal-splitter or something, so that his guitar is coming out of a stack of mixed guitar amps and bass amps. At various times he will hit pedals to switch to only one or only the other. So it is never quite Bass, but it gets pretty heavy sometimes.

Oh man I really like them.

Their music videos are really not that good. I will look for a good live video.

That sounds pretty sweet. This isn't one of those bands where they are only available at local beer bashes and playing in your basement, is it?

Surprisingly often when I listen to eMusic's free daily download I think "I don't like this at all. I'm sure TI loves them and will be posting about them shortly." Examples: Jeff the Brotherhood, Wavves, Best Coast

I didn't mean to say those bands (or TI's tastes) suck. There's just a difference in preference. I mean, it's not like he's pimping Nickelback.

This is why I could never get my wife to hang here.  Nickelback, 5-for-Fighting, Coldplay - these represent the hard edge of her taste in music.

I mean, Coldplay are a guilty pleasure of mine, but...

They aren't hard.

They are a guilty pleasure because they're so fuck*ng soft.

That's wild.

Obligatory "that's how I know you're gay" (or whatever the quote is). Full disclosure: I listen to Coldplay, and when they cover the band in the movie "Young at Heart" I almost burst out crying, and I was on an airplane! Of course, I was drunk at the time, but still.

I was reflecting the other day at work on how in the context of non-stop horrible music being played over the loudspeakers, songs I would normally not like so much make me get excited.

OH SHIT, STAYING ALIVE? I LOVE THIS SONG! YEAH!

Coldplay doesn't suck because they are soft, they suck because they suck.

I was Fooled by Coldplay.

The one guy seems amusing.

I don't know, I have a hard time anymore getting my ire up about a band. Unless the people are actually total cocks (Cake, I'm looking at you).

I've heard a couple stories, one from a guy I know whose band was "lucky" enough to be picked to open for them, and then was pretty much treated like shit and derided. He didn't enjoy the experience.

As opposed to a band like, say, BOC, who were just delightful to some other friends of mine who opened for them, really supportive and sharing various and sundry green room enjoyments with them - and this wasn't like last week, it was when BOC could still draw a pretty good crowd.

Anyway, not to derail - I just think that the whole "your fave band sux" meme is tired, even as a joke. And fuck it, I kinda like Coldplay.
