That's the sort of thing I'd play at my night
except for SOAD who are shit, but this is not the time to rehash that old argument

The night I'm doing on Saturday is a bit broader in scope so will be a mix of actual alternative with the stuff people who dress like the cast of Skins listen to. From my occasional visits to the night in question whilst plying my trade upstairs, a spot of hip-hop usually goes down well which is very encouraging

Kaiser Chiefs then

I agree
Let's not argue about SOAD being awesome, you cunt.

If you don't play 'Next Episode' or 'Still D.R.E.', you are dead to me. Same with any Queen tracks.

Killers are a good call too. Sadly you'll likely be required to play some Arctic Monkeys, or some wank like that too.


EDIT: Also, 'I Believe In A Thing Called Love' should be the staple of every 'alternative' night, when you're kicking everyone out (as it's shit)
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 13:54, Reply)

Oh god
I hadn't considered the fucking Killers, or "Duran Duran's retirement fund" as they'll be known when the plagiarism lawsuits are settled

Good call on the Dre, might have to be Forgot About Dre instead though as it's more upbeat. And swearier.

Tracks like Mr Brightside still get me up and out about on nights out, cracking tunes.
In terms of Kaiser Chiefs, I reckon you'd want either 'Ruby'(ugh, wank track) or 'I Predict A Riot'
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:00, Reply)

Tragically I think I have a copy of I Predict a Riot somewhere
Am not playing Ruby. On pain of death.

I have to concede the point regarding Mr Brightside, although Somebody Told Me is their best track to my mind

Not playing fucking Sex On Fire either
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:11, Reply)

wooooooooooooooooaaaah
you're sexy on fire.

should be the lyrics and the plot for the video

Good man on the Ruby thing
That track is wank
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:14, Reply)

most songs that are named after a woman's name are
see: Layla, Lola, Maria, any number of songs called Caroline
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:17, Reply)

Lola is alright

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:18, Reply)

it's not really though
it's cheesy and shit

oddly sweet though

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:21, Reply)

Mildly disturbing I feel

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:22, Reply)

Even 'Caroline, No'?

(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:18, Reply)

there are a few songs called Caroline that are good
Concrete Blonde have one, and the Quo, naturally.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:19, Reply)

Also see 'Alice' by Tom Waits
(I'm just going to keep looking for exceptions until you retract your original point)

Edit: + 'Sally Simpson' and 'Mary Anne with the Shaky Hand' by The Who
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:22, Reply)

I was more going for songs that are just one woman's name
where it is repeated ad nauseum in the song, like in Ruby.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:24, Reply)

Oh Mandy, you came and something something else, repeat ad infinitum

( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:25, Reply)

something something else I haven't been able to get that stain out of the bedclothes since
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:27, Reply)

Granted, Ruby is annoying.
And 'Maria' was just one of those comeback singles that should just never have been released.

(Though I quite like The Kinks' 'Lola')
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:26, Reply)

I think I may actually have been thinking of a different song instead of Lola
I don't know what it is though.

I can picture the idiot face of the singer in the video...
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:27, Reply)

Oh Mandy by The Spinto Band is pretty good

Suzanne by Leonard Cohen

(Zoz prayed for twink on, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:25, Reply)

Suzanne by Weezer

( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:32, Reply)

Delilah by Tom Jones
Top song. More so if you listen closely to the lyrics
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:35, Reply)

play lots of Weezer am just reminiscing on how ace they are.

( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:35, Reply)

I used to love Weezer, listened to them a lot at a defining time in my life
now they annoy me.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:36, Reply)

I had that and have come through the other side again.

( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:38, Reply)

Their new on 'Hurley' is fucking awful.

Not heard it yet.
Will investigate later.
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:40, Reply)

I find they're a bit like Goldfrapp
Not stylistically, obviously, but in the way that they made two good albums and then just seemed to tail off into repetitive mediocrity.
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:41, Reply)

What about 'Oh Carolina?'
Also 'Kyrie' isn't too bad.

Also, '(Living Next Door To) Alice' the original is pretty good, Chubby Brown ruins it.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:21, Reply)

I did say 'most'

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:22, Reply)

Aye, fair enough!
Question, are you into your (I think it's called) Post rock? Stuff like Tool, but without the weirdness I suppose.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:23, Reply)

I probably am
give me some examples of bands. The genre doesn't mean a lot to me!
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:25, Reply)

Me either
Tis just the way they were described to me. Bands are Pelican, Beecher, Red Sparrows, and Between The Buried And Me?

The band I mean is called Mountains Became Machines, should be on Last.Fm
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:32, Reply)

fair enough
don't recognise any of the names. Only thing I can think of that I like that may be similar are 65daysofstatic

There's another band that my drummer is into as well, but can't remember their name.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 14:35, Reply)

65daysofstatic are alright

Well, if you get 10 free minutes, or can just stick your headphones in with these in the background

How did I not think of Judith?!
While we're on the subject, Magdalena is an awesome tune

As is "fuckmachine" by Combichrist. Surely we all know a girl called that...

Magdalenas
Are also small spongey Spanish cupcakes. Sometimes with jam inside.
I like to think he's singing about them.
