Tuesday Listening Thread......

[Davey]

Certainly doesn't mean that you will ever like it a single bit. I can't wait to read the comments if it continues to fail you.

Actually I said that I like the songs that I had heard. You have a tendency to exaggerate the negativity in what people say about music you like. I did jokingly call it and the Keane album bland over at Rocky Road, but hopefully I used enough winkies and I did relate the comment to the Futureheads review at PopMatters. I haven't really listened to the whol thing yet except as background but can't imagine that I'll dislike it. I just don't really expect it to be one of my favorites like it seems to be with so many people over there at Rocky Road since neither of the songs on your comp really knocked me out. But I thought that it would be worth a few bucks to check it out further since so many seem to love it. That's all

I guess that's something I need to work on. Didn't think I was being negative, seemed like a legitimate question based on some of your comments like "wimpy", "bland", "too conventional" and the Daffy Duck world remark. After posts like that I defintely got the impression that you didn't like and yes I did see the winkies . Perhaps you can see how one might get the wrong impression after 4 similar posts? Of course you did at one point say that you loved the first SP track on the comp. It's all too confusing for my simplistic little mind. In the end, much ado about nothing.
