[Armchair Wanderer]

Frank Black's first solo album after the Pixies... Teenager of the Year. For one CD it has more tracks than any other I have, 20,+ and every one is a proper song, albeit some are on the short side. I like it because it's upbeat kinda rock and I don't have the faintest idea what he's on about. Bit of a blast from the past and memories of yoof. Rock-wise it's almost as good to work to as Appetite for Destruction and Blood Sugar Sex Magic, certainly makes a good change of pace on a long assignment.

[Gooner Girl]

The Saturdays new single

Listening to this now, never heard it before but sounds really good. Always been a fan of the pixies and the breeders too, good stuff.

The Pixies were fecking shit. Saw them at Liverpool Royal Court. hey, if you didn't like The Pixies then you weren't 'cool'. They were fecking shit!

[Dr Hotdog]

Are you on a wind-up? Fecking Shit?

They were a great band. Four misfit dingbats who came together and wrote some brilliantly dynamic alternative rock music which will live a long time.

Fecking shit? Give Over man!

This is like saying Marvin Gaye was shite. It is simply not plausible to consider Marvin shite, same with the Pixies! Roll on! Certain acts aren't 'shite', they're just not your cup of unpleasantly milky tea. So what if they were the popular Zeitgeist of the time - so were Nirvana. Consider Nirvana 'shite' and i'll apply to have you sectioned!

any road feck this, I've had a lager. Time for more SWANS.

[Bruce Rioja]

No, I just think that the Pixies were shite

Errr, wasn't Frank Black's first solo album after The Pixies the eponymous Frank Black?

[Lord Kangana]

I have no idea who The Pixies are.

There, I've said it.

[Dr Hotdog]

No, I just think that the Pixies were shite

Boooo! Take the bait!

[CAPSLOCK]

I have no idea who The Pixies are.

There, I've said it.

Pixies

No THE

And I didn't like them either, so that makes them shite

In the same way fans of 'real' music describe everything XFactor as shite, just cos they don't like it

[Lord Kangana]

X Factor is shit though.

As for Pixies, as I've never heard of them, I couldn't give an opinion either way.

[Gary the Enfield]

I have no idea who The Pixies are.

There, I've said it.

Pixies

No THE

And I didn't like them either, so that makes them shite

In the same way fans of 'real' music describe everything XFactor as shite, just cos they don't like it

But the X Factor IS shite. Unless you're a pre-pubescant girl.

[CAPSLOCK]

You've missed nowt

Its just, erm, noise

Their fans are quite precious about the THE

The The

Now, that was music 17

[CAPSLOCK]

I have no idea who The Pixies are.

There, I've said it.

Pixies

No THE

And I didn't like them either, so that makes them shite

In the same way fans of 'real' music describe everything XFactor as shite, just cos they don't like it

But the X Factor IS shite. Unless you're a pre-pubescant girl.

Why

Why is it shite?

What about it makes it shite

I thought it was about entertainment and it entertains folk

Maybe it'd be more worthy if they did it in Spanish and added subtitles?

Alright I'll give it a go.

This programme is an amorphous, stifling, cloying, anonymous, regurgitated turd of a programme which does everything it can to stifle creativity and musicianship.

It's Karaoke for the Saturday night audiences who used to lap up Seaside Special and Noel's House Party. There isn't an ounce of creativity amongst them.

In the last show which was two hours long, only 22 minutes were actually spent 'singing'.

The contestants voices are pitch 'tweaked' to keep them on key.

There is no discernible difference between last years contestants and this.

Much as I dislike their singing, Bob Dylan and Neil Young wouldn't stand a cat in hell's chance against this suffocating monolith of the musical equivalent of a malignant tumour.

That's why it's shite. Oh, and Simon Cowell is the biggest smug c*nt on this planet. The c*nt.

And breathe

People like it

They're entertained by it

Thats the aim of the show, surely

Not to gain approval from fans of real music by real musicians who don't get their output 'tweaked' on their releases

Oh no, course they don't

[thebish]

people are entertained by it - YES
it is shite - YES

they are not mutually exclusive. some people are entertained by shite. simples.
