NMH is horrid.

 

[unthink_this]

I had this sent to me; I've listened to one track, I must have hated it (because I don't remember anything about it)

You know what's worse than Pitckfork? The NME

 

[occer]

NME is The Sun of hipster journalism.

A parody rating system, courtesy of the internet, which is perhaps half true:

10.0: Must be Radiohead
9.5-9.9: Great enough to play on your college radio set
9.0-9.4: Try playing this one on your guitar all night in your dorm room
8.5-8.9: The CD is pretty good but runs the risk of becoming mainstream
8.0-8.4: You should buy any green washed out retro t-shirts by this band
7.5-7.9: Good enough for maybe a sticker on your guitar case
7.0-7.4: Decent enough to talk about in the coffee shop
6.0-6.9: Needs more white guitarists with black-rimmed glasses
5.0-5.9: Might be good for a fratboy band, those neanderthals
4.0-4.9: Reviewer couldn't find any Cloves before writing and was angry
3.0-3.9: Too many unintelligent people might understand it
2.0-2.9: Curls up the ends of our bowl haircuts with shame
1.0-1.9: Did not cause a single tear to flow from our weepy eyes
0.0-0.9: That ain't Radiohead

I cant believe someone didn't bring up Godspeed you black! emperor in this thread.....
the two go hand in hand....

Ive done an indie show on community radio for the last 2 years...
and NMH was high rotation

uhh, how exactly?

 

[tripyamine]

Not in a sence that they have anything to do with eachother
(mind you sometimes the lyrics can be just as wack dead flag blues/ pree sisters swallowing a donk)

But usually (as a rule of thumb) when someone boasts NMH if that person truly thinks themselves indie (actually more alt) they will drop a godspeed namebomb

i see

so. indie. right. now.
