HMV sale

[EFM's Librarian]

I shall be popping along to HMV this afternoon and was wondering if anybody has any recommendations for me? So far I have already decided to get The Manics - Holy Bible for £4.99, and Minority report on video, also for £4.99 but I need lots more suggestions

I was in the Bluewater(shopping centre in Kent)HMV last night,where they also have a sale on,not sure if they have the same things on offer but i noticed they were selling Trainspotting on DVD,a brilliant film. I saw Californication for about £6(you probably have it but if you dont BUY IT!).I saw the Coral's album for under a tenner there somewhere if you like them.There were loads of things i saw last night but my minds gone blank now!

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Loads of Dylan albums at £4.99. I picked up the second Alanis Morrisette album for £2.99.

 

I think there's a Janis Joplin in there for £4.99 too!

Not in the sale, but I saw something which intrigued me, and you musical chaps might be able to help me out.

 

British Sea Power - The Decline Of British Sea Power

 

Any ideas? Should I purchase this? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

[Stu B]

Don't know much about them,but they're a sort of indie band,they're ok..but I wouldn't buy it,but then im poor!

[EFM's Librarian]

Cheers, I don't have Californication because I used to feel an aversion towards RHCPs (long story, to do with friends who liked Brian Adams <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> ) but I do like their recent stuff so I shall probably get it.

 

MKJ - I must admit I'd never heard of British Sea Power until I saw a few of their t-shirts at Glastonbury, their album seems to have some good reviews , so might be worth checking out?

I'm listening to one of the songs now,called "blackout",it's strange,it randomly has sitar's and what sounds like someone hitting a bin during the song which would otherwise be ok,it's a bit middle of the road and it REALLY reminds me of someone but i can't think who.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Chili Peppers? Never done it for me. Can't see what all the fuss is about.

 

 

[Stu B]

I think they remind me a bit of a duller,but less maufactured coldplay,mixed in with a tiny bit of the band we were talking about earlier,pulp!Still think they remind me of something else aswell though.

Listen to tracks like,under the bridge,rollercoaster,road trippin,scar tissue,californication etc and you should see it..and i'm still half asleep so have forgoten alot of their songs. I'll be honest,i don't see what the fuss with the new album,"by the way",is,its ok...but not as good as the earlier one's. Can't wait to see them at V! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I've heard Under The Bridge, Rollercoaster, Scar Tissue etc. and I find them all very bland. It's considered very "cool" to like the Chili Peppers.

 

Me? I'm happy to be considered "uncool".

 

 

[Stu B]

i thought you were cool because you were uncool if you get me...everyone on here seems to like you anyway and even office woman makes an attempt with you!

Thank God for that. I thought I was the only person who thought that.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Fleet Boy: I am cool - but not as cool as GHA!!

 

Trev, I love you, man!!

Librarian- having read the review I'm still none the wiser. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Don't mind the Chillis but I'm leaning towards Zeal and Trev with this, don'y know what all the fuss is about.

 

People who like Coldplay, Chillis and David Gray are people who are too scared to like alternative music but want to seem like they have good music taste. Your average fan of these bands will have a CD collection littered with Kylie and Now 31 as well.

[Stu B]

For the record I don't own anything by Kylie but i do have some of the old "nows"from when i liked that sort of music. I also don't own any David Gray or Coldplay but i do like coldplay though they are VERY overrated.

[Chubbhead EFM]

British Sea Power- They get played a lot on Xfm, personally I don't really like them, I just find it a bit too dull. Having said that, I haven't heard that much of their stuff. MKJames, I think you should do what I normally do and just buy it anyway!

 

EFM'sL- I think you can get 'Scum' the movie on video for about a fiver in HMV so I'd recommend that. Also, the Royksopp albums going cheap and I got a 3cd punk box set for 4.99 the other day!

Trev you're not mate. I think the Chillies are vastly overated.
Californication is an OK song but I really don't see what the fuss is about. Lyrically they're not all that!
