| This whole Jet, Hives, Strokes and Datsuns shit is really getting old fast....the whole 'rock out' thing they do is kinda weak. There is an under-current of 'Jock' in all of these bands. Not Limp Biscuit kinda Jock mentality, but its there. I'm ready for a new fad that will get old fast too.... |

I'm praying for the day when good music will be the fad. Nothing flashy, no gimmick, just good music. Although most fads do have a few good albums at least.

I see the same thing in it, FBF. Lotsa male power, machismo, whatever.
I got two (well, maybe 3) words for all of em:

I don't like Datsun cars and I don't like the band. They sound lie AC/DC and they were shit too.

Gee, I was really hoping this was a thread about '72 Datsun 240Z's.
Frank's band is better than your band. Sing it. |

Yeah, I think I would lick that car if I saw it in person.
I keep searching autotrader for one like that and they're all 3-5k!
Well, a mint one might be more?
I'm all about rear wheel drive manual cars with long noses and short trunks, hence my little SC beater.

Never heard the Datsuns. Probably don't want to.
For some reason my friend likes the Hives.. and he has great taste in music. I have yet to listem to them but I am skeptical even though my good-taste-in-music-friend likes them.
What was that other band that sucked? Oh yeah, the Vines.
Just quit a cult / going through withdrawal |

I think the Hives are a lot of fun, great entertainers. However, Jet are a clutch of knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing primates with guitars, peddling songs that came out 20-30 years ago.
NME will continue the circle- they get excited about mushroom poppin' experimental beatniks one week "THEY'RE THE FUTURE OF ROCK! BLOWING AWAY ALL THE GARAGE RETRO ROCKERS!". Next week "THEY'RE THE FUTURE OF ROCK! BLOWING AWAY ALL THE MUSHROOM POPPIN' EXPERIMENTAL BEATNIKS!"
I think the Strokes are kinda neat though, don't own any of their cds though..

Pfeff, remember the Nissan commercials a few years ago with the old Japanese guy...there were always cool old Datsuns in those commercials.
I like the old Z cars too. My first drummer had a nice one - one of the ones that didn't pass safety stds because it had no door reinforcements. Might have been 72. Extremely cool and quick car. Canary yellow, 6cly, triple carb.
Neato. |

KSR,
Yeah, I remember those commercials. Our garage has been listed as a professional performance shop by the BMWCCA, so I'm kind of immersed in cars. Even my cats can say "guibo".
Can you believe some idiot in a Hyundai tried to pass me today? Ha, I downshifted and flew past him. Then, five minutes later he caught up with me and I dusted him again. What a waste of gas. |

Alright, I figured out guibo. You're bimmer people...which means you might be Benz, Jag, Rolls, Bentley people too...unless you're all performance.
"SC" has me stumped, tho. Do tell. |

A guibo is the rubber disk that connects the drive shaft to the transmission. I only like this word because it sounds like 'guido'.
SC=supercharged.

Ok.
My google search on guibo generated a lot of BMW links, but methinks the layman's term is "center bearing" ...i think. A rubber mounted bearing designed to stop the drive shaft from freekin out. I had an old Volvo with a bad 'guibo' (if I'm right) and she was a bit shakey.
Cool - you run good ol Detroit iron.
Your SC coupe is what make?
I swear - no more car stuff after this.
From me anyway. |

Ok, yeah, no more car stuff after this. I promise, too.
'97 BMW 318Ti, Downing Atlanta Super Charger, M3 suspension and clutch, aluminum flywheel, Koni shocks and struts, Eibach springs.
190.5 hp at the wheels (~215hp at the crank) and 2800lbs. Good enough to dust most cars on the road, but nothing too insane. |

Aaaaaaanyway, you don't want people ranting, so I'll backtrack a bit.
I dislike pretty much all the bands you've mentioned, except the Hives.
I saw the Hives third on the bill at this scummy little venue in Portsmouth about 6 months before they made it big (they were supporting a couple of other bands that I liked). Thats a proper 'before they were famous' story - they were ace, full of energy and great performers/entertainers. I got the CD after and it was wicked.
The rest of these bands suck though, for the most part.

I have a similar story like that about Ocean Colour Scene. And Blind Melon for that matter. It's nice when you rock out to a band and then they get big, you get to tell stories like this.

Hmmmm.....
I think the Datsuns are a bit hit and miss with me. They have an excellent Mo-Townlike song, which is probably my favorite - I think it's called 'For a Love Supreme'
So what if they are a rock out band, it certainly beats the shit out of the other crap we've been hearing, like Nu-Metal anyone? Did everyone forget that there has been some utter crap before this trend....?
The Hives seem pretty cool. I don't dig the Vines, because they are too Nirvanaesque - and I haven't listened to the Strokes.
Music is constantly recycling itself, as it should. The newer bands of garage/punk/etc have different elements about them than the originals. If they didn't then how could music ever evolve? |
