Guilty Pleasure of the year (god this is so emabarrassing!)

Sounds superb Hank. I previously thought chill out was just boring whale noises. Youre preaching to the converted now though.

i like the strokes too, bubblegum proto-punk beats travis anyday.

my guilty pleasure is that I fancy Fern Britton

I have to say, I don't like any guitar based band from the last ten years the Strokes and the White Stripes may be better than Travis, that doesn't make them Hendrix, Led Zep or Stone Roses, I just can't dig retro.Anyone know a band to prove me wrong?

damn right!! nothing to be ashamed of there mate :)

Like apparently more people i must , not shamefully , admit that i really like Kylie....Can't get you out

i can see where youre coming from hank, retro is everywhere; be it guitar bands, Rnb, dance music....its inescapable. but as barney once said if you cant be innovative, you can at least be good. and thats exactly what the strokes and the von bondies and the white stripes and the hives and the dirtbombs are...only a fool would think them as significant as hendrix. theyre just fun bands that are good at what they do. the overenthusiastic nme patronage isnt all that suprising either, seeing as the nme even supports uk garage these days. while i wish the retro thing had never got going (damn the roses and the las)it was pretty inevitable; many bands cant help but wear their influences on their sleeves.

This is just an experiment if it works and my name is in black can you copy it voiceover girl I liked the old threatening black type

D'oh!

just checked the colours you can use.

d'oh! again, nevermind, nice to see your profile anyway.

Stone Roses,undoubtedly had very retro influences shining through the debut album,but for me there success was taking it somewhere,which up till One Love they managed,are there any funky ass bands out there? I get tired of checking out these new bands,I mean the White Stripes are probably the best sounding I've heard and they only use two instruments, how the fuck are you gonna rival Kool and the Gang like that? obviously that's probably not their intention, but I wish someone would at least try and acknowledge some funk,it's all so damn white ass, middleclass,you could probably have done it without pyschedelic drugs having been discovered.

Originally posted by Shelley Blair I liked Lady Marmalade too! I thought Mya looked the best inn the video. Christina looked even more tarty than usual and Li'l Kim's blonde wig did nothing for her at all!

I thought it was PINK, CRACK WHORE, and LIL KYM?

It's reassuring to see everybody else dislikes her as much as I do.

well funks pretty retro itself, and lets face it so is indie-funk. still its ripe for a comeback. i reckon there must be some funky guitar bands around; its a matter of searching for them. i can only think of one at the mo, a girl group called brassy, who are an amalgam of funk, old skool hip hop, jangly indie, shouty elastica style indie. now that sounds promising doesnt it? only problem is that while theyre a really fun live band, they still have a way to go before theyre as good as their description suggests. still theyre only on their first album.

...alright, then i'm going to add Tina Barrett :D :D

Hey Jeff-

Lil' Kim looks like a nun on her way to midnight mass on Christmas Eve compared to that freaky strumpet Christina........

Oh, buy the way: Merry Christmas! : D

This won't change the world but my guilty pleasure has been a constant one for quite a while now -

Too much wanking.

Actually, I take that back - I'm not guilty about that at all.

Originally posted by Jeff, just Jeff, no last name Oh, can you all say that we love Christina???I read the funniest faked autobiography about Christina...I shall have to find it and post the link on here, but not today necessarily...oh, and a merry christmas to you as well Michael!!!!

i think the biography about christina isn't the only thing that's FAKE...if you know what i mean

Well, while we're talking about the Strokes......get it, "Strokes"?

Hey VG! Brassy - now they're one of Manchester's great lost bands. Know them by association only cos one of the bands I play with use the same rehearsal room as they do. But some of their stuff indeed does kick ass - and remember when they used to get compared to Elastica when the latter were huge? How that must rankle now - but seeing as the posh one's mob have now hit the crapper and reduced to bringing out pointless tuneless lo-fi shite masquerading as rare limited editions or Steve Lamacq sessions - they surely must have the last laugh. Did you say you have their only LP to date - "Got It Made" ??

Dude you must be on Belladonna or something Trevoir Seigler!

Do you consider yourself the "King of Pop"?

Sit and wait patiently for the second coming of GG Allin. He will come to you soon!

I must admit to pooping Bazzer Manilow onto the decks every once in a while
