cant be any worse than grinspoon's new pos, and its a feature

positive threading

hmm, not much interest

of course it will, kingsmill still gets a cheque right?

I have nothing positive to say here

why scallywag, why?

why? because i heard their ''oh la la la - oh la la la'' song on JJJ the other day and i though ''man they used to give this a flogging'' then i saw the article on the front page of m&n and i thought ''man i wonder if this will get a flogging like their last album'' and then I started this thread.

And then?

and then i replied to what bittervictorian said 35 seconds ago:

but enough about me...

of course it will, kingsmill still gets a cheque right?

oh, ffs. delete THIS thread someone. fck.

I'm not sure this thread will catch on, scally.

...BUT, here's my contribution: who is Faker?

Does their name imply that they don't really mean what they say? In this case ''oh la la la'' meaning....what?

what is this about kingsmill? someone fill me in, i'm so out of the loop right now.

hi scally. hi ubes.

sorry frenk, i thought we could have a convo about whether fakers new album would get support from JJJ.

tsk tsk ubu - that's all i have for you

Look everyone, Timey is here!

Remember that time you and Little smoke were shitting on about your cars? Remember that?

That was awesome.

hi timey,

do you think fakers new album will get the same amount of airplay that their last one enjoyed?

scal.

I was unbeknownst to faker but unfortuanetly I saw them support a friends band once, and.. errr this thread should be DELETED!

I still don't know who they/he are/is?

Must be a Sydney thing.

like not getting invited over for dinner?

I've never seen faker, but one time, I was staying at my GF's house in Sydney, and at about 6AM in the morn, I woke up to this full on Frankenstine-esk moaning coming from down stairs.
I freaked out as it was the first night I'd spent in this house.
I went down to see what the noise was, and there was this guy having some full on sad trip or somshit, and in some serious inner pain.
Found out he was from Faker.
Still means nothing to me.

you forgot his mum had died wasn't it?

We did.

And the dude from The Van She / Valentinos (one of the two) borrowed our guitarists rig. I mean EVERYTHING, Guiitar, amp, lead, pedals. It was crazy.

i think my old band supported them on their first ever headline. how about that shit.

They now have a Top 10 single with ''This Heart Attack''.

All remaining commerical stations picked it up in last couple of weeks. Now officially across the board everywhere it seems. Single has gone gold I hear so it is all happening for Faker!

is that all from the TV commercial?

that's interesting.. commercials adding it 6 months after initial servicing to radio. not by any stretch a record but pretty good indication of aust commercial radio.

yeah and par for the course too.

commercial radio these days almost always sits back and waits to see how something goes before they commit.

explains why everyone from my uni is addicted to this song over the last week...despite first hearing it at a gig and seeing it on rage last september (this song is still on the charts?). which ad is this song in?

CATCHY AS FUCK

I saw the film clip to that song last night, and it left me wondering.

is the other ''band'' in the clip a real band, and if so, who are they? I reckon they'd be worth seeing.

kthxbye.

by the same token, wasn't cut copy hearts on fire one of the most added songs to radio last week?

commercial radio is a real headfuck.

AAAAHHH! I hear that 'heart attack' song at LEAST 3 times a day.. I can't escape it! If it's not on music tv at work, it's on the radio or in a shop or on a commercial.. I can't stand it!

'Oh hey, let's show we're still cool and in touch with the youth of today and put Japanese people in crazy outifts in our video!' GWEN STEFANI ALREADY DID THAT LOSERS!

weezer did it with sumo wrestlers for ''hash pipe'' yeah?

is he even the drummer? what happened to paul? i thought faker were a five-piece?

Japanese people are not animals attracted to shiny clothing they have feelings too!

save your heart attack!

here's the remix i did for Faker some time back. I have been a bit harsh on them in the past for not acknowledging the effort, but maybe it sucks and that's why I never heard from them. You be the judge.
