The Killers Gay Murder Concept 1233 1
Started by Una
(This is from some random blog I found, it's pretty funny if you're into Hot Fuss)
On the Mats with the Boys:
An Examination of the Homosexual Subtext of the Killers’ Hot Fuss
It’s clear to any listener that the driving emotion of the Killers’ album Hot Fuss is jealousy—a jealousy so intense that it ends with a character’s murder. However, it’s only with a certain amount of close listening and some rearranging that the secret plot of the album completely emerges.
The key to the puzzle...

Best Tribute Albums?? 1440 5
Started by fiddlechick
All songwriters seem to get a tribute album after a few years - I can imagine some of them are useless given that there are so many and most of them filled with 'up and coming' artists who get put on them by record companies as opposed to being fans.
I only have a few that I actually listen to - being a massive Bruce Springsteen fan I've quite a few of his tributes - the Uncut ones, 'One Step Up/Two Steps Back' (with Jackson Cage by John Wesley Harding outstripping Bruce's version by miles) , '...

If you could plan a festival !! 1034 6
Started by klootfan
Since its friday, how about some fun.
If you had the chance to plan a mini festival in dublin, what theme would you pick and which bands would you put where.
For arguments sake, im suggesting 2 acts per venue. And im suggesting the following venues because of their size and prominence.
The Olympia,
Whelans,
Vicat St,
TBMC and
Crawdaddy.
Each of these are of varying size and therefore, I suppose, try match the band to the venue.
For me, it would be a north american theme, and m...

The Wisdom Of Liam Gallagher 1117 14
Started by Antistar
Below is Liam Gallagher's hilarious attack on the current darlings of the UK indie music scene. Thank God there are still people like this guy around. But his own band are s**t too but he's still funny.
In the current issue of NME, out nationwide today (April 27), the singer has attacked Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, Keane and Pete Doherty.
Speaking about Franz Ferdinand singer Alex Kapranos, Gallagher said: “He reminds me of f**king Right Said Fred. You put on 'I’m Too Sexy For My f**ki...

Genius After Death 1135 16
Started by Gar
Alot of musicians do not rise to the deserved status of genius until after their death. It's a strange thing really but the point to this thread is to discover the musicians who should be lauded as a genius while they currently live.
The title of genius is sometimes thrown about lightly, so just because your favourite artist of the month has released a great album doesn't mean they will be remembered in decades to come. When I think of musicial geniuses, I think of Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Nina...
