Synthesizer Patel Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 And the tracks I liked, I love now. Talk about staying power. lol, i missed that until moss quoted it. i once heard someone say on a newsnight review show (when reviewing ys by joanna newsom) - "i absolutely loved it! i played it 3 times!" without any sense of irony. did you mean that to be funny or not?

augurus Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 This is the National album that's making me a fan, I think. I thought Boxer was pretty good, but I didn't like it, and I couldn't figure out why. Sleigh Bells - Treats Excellence. Link to post Share on other sites

lizish Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 TO May 25th at the Sound Academy Pumped! Had my eye on the concert for a couple months, but could not find a good reason to travel down. Bought 2 tickets this morning - Yay! Link to post Share on other sites
augurus Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 not sure exactly what you mean here...you said 'i thought boxer was pretty good, but i didn't like it'...? either you like it or you don't.You've served up quite the false fallacy there, kiddo.Boxer is a pretty good album with great songs, but I didn't like the album.Is that a difficult sentence to understand?

cooperissup3r Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 the sentence is kind of weird, the way you phrased it. "Boxer was pretty good, but I didn't like it and I couldn't figure out why." that doesn't actually make a lot of sense. Link to post Share on other sites

No, it was a serious comment. I've listened to the whole record at least 10-15 times and plan to listen to it many, many more times soon...just got to get through the rest of these nights of Pavement shows first...

Someone did not comprehend my comment and you could not parse my sentence. I elaborated; and now you two deflect. Link to post Share on other sites

I've listened to the whole record at least 10-15 times and plan to listen to it many, many more times soon...just got to get through the rest of these nights of Pavement shows first... eek. ok. but, i'd just say in that situation that i thought it was really good. you'd have to be talking in terms of years for it to have "staying power" they were on tv last night, actually - on the jools holland show (in the uk) along with the national. i don't know if you can get that on any of your channels in the usa, but the proper show is friday night (the tuesday night show is live, but only 30 mins, whereas the friday is recorded but 1 hour). np.
