Old fashioned friends?

    Do you have any terribly old fashioned friends?
    Im 42 and my neighbours who are also very very good friends of the same era called up the other evening. I had discovered The Frames, not exactly the most threatening band in the world, live from Witness a few years back on Sky Arts and it was playing in the background. I was suddenly transported back to the squirmsome horrors of watching Top of The Pops with my parents in the same room.In quick succession the aforementioned neighbours came out with ' they must be on drugs!' as a band member blew bubbles across the stage followed by 'sure thats just noise' as the band did a big crescendo wig-out at the end of one of their louder songs.
    Are some of us destined to just turn into our parents again?
    Christ i hope not!
    Do you have friends like this?

    That's pretty old-fashioned I suppose.

    She listens to West Life ' ah sure its harmless. Good in the car'
    He listens to Bon Jovi and Roxette.
    But its not just musical taste its the whole thing of repeating exactly what your parents did without being aware of it. Its bizarre.

    Crazy, I wonder what they'd say if I was there and stuck California by Mr Bungle on...

    It's The Frames, it is just noise. Certainly wouldn't call it music


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,029 ✭✭✭shedweller


    I used to be with it. Then they changed what "it" was and now i'm not with it anymore!

    Ah now Mr Bungle is practically easy listening these days, even in comparison to later Patton stuff. Birra John Zorn or Sleepytime Gorilla Museum or Behold...The Arctopus, that'll freak out the squares!

    Thanks, I needed a good laugh

    I bow to your demonstrably better musical taste.

    My dad told me that he was out with a friend of his shortly after Freddie Mercury died.

    The friend asked him "who is this Freddie Mercury that's been in the news, first I've heard of him" :eek:

    Or some Infectious Grooves

    Next you're going to tell me that Once is a work of genius and not a horrendously dull and plotless paean to mediocrity

    While I enjoyed the film, I preferred the music more.
