Snow Patrol, do you like Mogwai?

[Thom]

Yes! You are a long way from home.

Anyway, i rather like the scottish Blur haters, although i prefer blur

anyway, i reckon that young team is their best album. do you have ten rapid? it is wicked.

Later.

Damn right I do I thought it was quite an appropriate signature for this *whisper* US dominated forum

I only have the young team album actually, and I love it. I must say though, I kind of prefer more angular stuff like Slint, whom you may not have heard of. My fave band however, would have to be Pavement (closely followed by MBV and SY)!

 

[Thom]

Cool. Yeah, thats a great sig. Well subtle for our transatlantic audience. Young team is a great album, and come on die young is okay, though probably a 'tricky second album'. Ten Rapid is a collection of old b-sides and stuff thats cool too.

I like Pavement too, although i only have a few singles of theirs. 13 by blur is heavily influenced by pavement too apparently, and thats a great album.

I have that Blur album, but I don't think it sounds too much like Pavement. Too be honest, I'm not mad on Blur - although I really liked Coffee and TV (which, admittedly does sound like it's influenced by pave).

 

[Thom]

I prefer the eponymous blur album over 13 myself.

have you listened to spiritualized? They're different to Mogwai, but a similar kind of genre, sort of, ish

first two albums more so than their latest album, 'ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space', the one with electricity and i think i'm in love on it.

maybe i'll pick up a pavement album sometime. any recommendations?

I've heard Spiritulized, but they're not really my thing. As for a Pavement album...ohhh...it depends what you're after. The first one (slanted and enchanted) is really lo-fi-recorded-in-a-garage sounding, but has some really cool songs. Personally though, I'd probably recommend 'Crooked Rain Crooked Rain'. That's prolly my fave
