sparkly1 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) Ooooh, maybe that's it! I love how I changed the thread from "NME thinks LICM is a crap title" to "How is Mika like Roger Rabbit?" yes it was quite an astounding piece of work you did there, VERY impressive, and lets face it probably much more interesting than what they say in NME lol. PS. yeah he DOES have a Roger Rabbit look about him now you come to mention it, he might just be quite chuffed about that since he likes cartoons so much.

xlindee Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Ehm, thankyouverymuch. I read it and a lot of my friends do, too. I wouldnt necessarily say that my favourite bands consist of drug-addicts or people that look like this. And I would also say that I know more than nothing about music. Same. Except for the drug addicts part. My favourite band happens to consists out of druggies (MGMT) I don't like NME's attitude though. They always get a new band, love them, and a week later they treat them like sh*t already and step over to the next ones. Oasis, ‘Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants’ (2000). Just the one shoulder then?-Tsssk, how stupid can you be? You obviously can't stand on both shoulders, because they are GIANTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petra Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Same. Except for the drug addicts part. My favourite band happens to consists out of druggies (MGMT):naug hty: I don't like NME's attitude though. They always get a new band, love them, and a week later they treat them like sh*t already and step over to the next ones. Agreed . Well, it's true that they tend to unlike bands as soon as these get to poppy or popular but :smth:. And I had a look through an old bunch of NMEs a few days ago and I found a gigantic Kooks-poster. Hence, they are allowed to write whatever they want now (or at least until the omg-a-****ing-kooks-megaposter--:das: -feeling ebbs down ). However, I don't like getting a direct smash in the face with an "They are all idiots that don't know anything at all" Oasis, ‘Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants’ (2000). Just the one shoulder then?-Tsssk, how stupid can you be? You obviously can't stand on both shoulders, because they are GIANTS!:do h: !!!

Very true Haha:naughty:I know the feeling, when they started to write about MGMT more and more (and more) and also had posters of them I started to hate them a little bit less. Me neither. That's kinda predjudiced. I mean, you can say you don't like the magazine, but I don't like when people say: ''All people who read this are idiots.'' And I think I've got more music knowledge than most people of my age. I mean, how many 15 year olds actually know about bands like ''the Doors'', for example?

mariposa Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 HI mean, how many 15 year olds actually know about bands like ''the Doors'', for example? There are 15-year olds who don't know the Doors? () I don't know what made them put Life in cartoon motion in this list...I actually think it's a genious title! But hey, let them say what they wanna say. It's just one opinion after all (and we know the truth haaaa ). It's always the same with the press: They have the power to hype a band/singer, but they can also drop them like a hot potato only sortly after. C'est la vie...and it won't change. It's up to us to decide what to believe and what to make out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilek Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 LICM would be bad if it was a book title like "Life of the Ice Cream Man" but as an album title it's great:glasses3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll turn 15 Wednesday. WOW! SERIOUSLY?:shocked:THAT is awesome! In my class most people don't even know who Queen/Freddie Mercury were.

They always get a new band, love them, and a week later they treat them like sh*t already and step over to the next ones. I did not say I did not like druggies' music (MGMT in particular ar awesome, I think). We would have never had the music of the 70s without drugs... I just don't like when music is judged by appearance. The junkie look was just an example but I might as well have said drunken look or in the 90s those psychadelic bands with the funny haircuts...

Marilyn Mastin Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I love the title LiCM, It's imaginative and just right. Who cares what they think. As for calling Mika, Rodger Rabbit, that's okay.

But simply judging from your level of English you CANNOT be 'just' 14 WOW! SERIOUSLY?:shocked:THAT is awesome! Well, Ed is hard to describe but... that guy knew. *shrugs* It was a bit annoying though. In my class most people don't even know who Queen/Freddie Mercury were. And I was one of the only people that knew what Mick Jagger looks like. When I heard that I was shocked. What what what what? God, I don't understand humans. (But it's the same with people here. ) Suzie, honestly - this was IMO not necessary but anyway. "Historically they do not recognise talented performers. Their journalists only go for the look. (i.e if you look like a drug addict , always have a cigarette hanging out of your mouth and a bottle of beer in your left hand, then you can appear in NME) They and their readers know NOTHING about music, and are proud to be 'intellectual snobs' - whilst they are just poor, depressed people with a literature degree from Cambridge or a high school degree with 204 unpublished poems - they are so cool.:cool:" It IS a bit like a smash in the face.

Thanks then. You're right about the poor and depressive part though, at least for me. I'm not the richest person, and I can be VERY depressive sometimes. I wish I had a degree in anything though.

Mary Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 It's a shame. My parents thought it was important for me to know who Queen, the Rolling Stones and so were. I was just brought up with that, and bands like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Me too, I grew up listening to my dad's records, including Queen, Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, The Doors and many others. But I think that it's normal for a 15 yr old not knowing bands that were famous 20 years before they were born. I mean, ok, it's a bit shocking yes, but it's just the way things go. I don't know a lot of bands my dad and uncles use to listen to and sometimes I'm like "who??" and they look at me like I'm a freak! Then they remember I'm 25 and explain who those people were Aaaaannnnddd...we're like TOTALLY off topic, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
