Diablo Swing Orchestra (or music you should all love)
My new favourite thing...
redwinegoblin
Random! But quite cool...
Em_J
It rocks!! Love it.
April_Rose
I like it!
Em_J
Yay!
April_Rose
Kind of reminds me of the transsiberian orchestra christmas album I downloaded....
Em_J
Any weird music, I love.
April_Rose
I like some, but some of the stuff you're into is just too weird for my taste... that washboard guy or something like that? That was too weird for me!
Em_J
Can't beat a good bit of washboard music!!
April_Rose
If you say so!
Em_J
Washboard music isn't even weird!!
Not weird:
Do you know who else is good? Seasick Steve. He's actually quite famous I think.
April_Rose
yeah I remember hearing a song of his on the radio and thinking you'd like it! He's ok.
And um, sure, yeah, not weird....
Em_J
Totally not weird!! I have excellent taste in music. You know I love these:
(listen to it in my car all the time!!)
April_Rose
Yeah you've mentioned them a few times! They aren't bad, I could listen to them for a while at least! I usually listen to the Fratellis in the car these days.
Em_J
I used to love the Fratellis but went off them a bit. I love Creeping up the Backstairs.
April_Rose
Yeah that's a good one. Love Chelsea Dagger, that's my favourite, I have to turn it up full blast when that's on!
Em_J
Tis too overplayed, that one. Got a bit sick of it. I used to be a mega Fratellis fan, have the t-shirt and everything! Got some free CDs cos I was a member of their website!
April_Rose
I never join up to websites and stuff, maybe I should as I love free stuff! Wasn't really played much on the radio here so I never got sick of it. It's the heaviest one on the album too, think that's why I like it best...
Em_J
You reckon?! I think Creeping up the Backstairs is rockier!! Tis frantic. Have you got their new album?
April_Rose
No, don't know if I've heard much of it either.
Em_J
Oh right, well you're not missing much! Tis alright, although I don't think any of the songs are particularly memorable. My brother met Barry Fratelli (I hid in the car) which was cool!
Do you like The View? Similar to The Fratellis... only better.
April_Rose
I think I've heard of them, can't think of any of their songs right now.
Why did you hide in the car?!
Em_J
Cos he's one scary-ass grumpy man!! He never smiles!!
Cheek! I'm into good music! Correction, I'm into great music!
Em_J
You don't even like Washboard music!!
April_Rose
Exactly, I like good music!
Em_J
Pah! Washboards rock.
You know who else are good? The 5,6,7,8s. Maybe we should rename this thread 'excellent music which you should all love.'
April_Rose
Yeah...which I'll then edit in "according to Em" into the title!
I only know the one 5,6,7,8s song, that was in Kill Bill?
Not bad, the View, I listened to the two songs. prefer the second one.
Em_J
Yeah they did the Kill Bill one. They have many excellent songs...
See! The View rock. Or as The View fans say 'The View are on fire.' I seen 'em live, and they did the Skag Trendy track at like double pace and it was excellent.
I'm quite possibly using the word excellent too much, I now have Bill and Ted in my head...
April_Rose
:loL: I love Bill&Ted!!!
Yeah I love seeing bands live, it's great when they do something a bit different!
Em_J
Think I'm seeing The Boy Least Likely To live in March!!! *dances*
April_Rose
Cool! I don't have any concerts lined up, looking at festivals in Europe again for the summer, but there aren't any lineups out yet.
Em_J
Do you have to stay in a tent and whatnot for that? Don't think I'd like that. Plus festivals = smelly hippies.
April_Rose
You don't have to do anything really. We rented an apartment in Serbia last year, there is a campsite but it's not like the English or irish festivals...less mud=more fun!
Em_J
Ah right! Still hippies though.
April_Rose
There probably are...I didn't notice many in Serbia though! There was a lot of punk music though, rather than the stuff the hippies are into, maybe that's why...
Em_J
Cool! Was it well known bands or randomers?
April_Rose
Sex Pistols, The Gossip, Primal Scream, Paul Weller...they were the main well known ones, then there were some local ones, they were pretty good too though...the locals were going mental to this Macedonian Punk band I'd never heard of but they seemed good so we joined in!
Em_J
Cool! I like the Gossip.
I'm listening to the Diablo Swing Orchestra at the mo and my bro has just asked me what the hell I'm listening to!
April_Rose
Yeah I love the Gossip, they were really good live too!
What kind of music is your bro into?
Em_J
He likes the same stuff as me... but without the weird stuff. So he likes The Boy Least Likely To and The View and The Frats and all that.
April_Rose
just not the Diablo String Orchestra!
Em_J
Nope! He'll come round once I've played it enough!!
