Shyeaaah, they're no Phoenix Foundation

Actually they were a one-off combo of artists who played at an anti WTO protest and recorded 5 or 6 songs for an EP on the Alternative Tentacles label. They're not a boring, bland corporate paint-by-numbers rock verse/chorus/verse/chorus/outro act like the Foo's, and sing about government corruption and capitalism... of course they're not going to be huge.

That was my point.

If a link to Nirvana is a surefire success, then we'd all know about it.

No offense intended to the general rock music fan, but I see stuff like the Foo's as directed at the lowest common denominator (like most music and movies these days, nice & safe and polarised, easy to sell).



Hooooooooooooooookay then... remind me never to argue the difference between good and bad music then

You say all that like I have no idea who WTO is. I've listened to it, and I had no time for it.

I think sometimes certain bands are not as popular as others not because they are experimenting, talking about seemingly more relevant topics or settling for a more generic song structure, but because they purely aren't producing very good music.



I agree, but I wouldn't say it is lowest denominator.



Don't patronize me, used is the imperative word in that sentence.

Heh, and I have a wee crush on Tamsin Greig. I like odd looking chicks.

Haha she's so fantastically psychotic in that (and the outtakes are great too), I would probably turn gay for Tamsin Greig just because she was in the damn show.

Saw 'Run Fatboy Run' on the weekend. Dylan Moran is in that too, but I like him in Black Books better.

That's the third movie I have seen with Simon Pegg in it and really enjoyed (Hot Fuzz and Shaun Of The Dead).

Haha, Simon Pegg is brilliant.

He pops up in the new Doctor Who too

Just finished watching Hot Fuzz, it's pretty dry sometimes, I like it.
