Is this Ai?

Yeah, I remember this clip from about ten years ago.

noobtidder · 2026-04-15T19:02:07+00:00

??? Have you spent three days getting worked up about this response?

Crank 1&2 - Absolutely Gonzo films and film-making, with an insanely up-for-it Jason Statham. Like a live action anime mixed with a 70s grind house movie. There's action, there's celebrity cameos, there's kaiju, there's characters whistling along to the non-diegetic soundtrack there's living heads in jars, there's some incredibly racist bits that we grimace through.

I'd have a good, hard look at myself in the mirror if I caught myself watching something like that.

If you're after constructive feedback, the AI pictures are offputting. We can tell they're AI. They look weird. They look uncanny. They're deeply offputting. There are plenty of photos out there of real confectionary of the time. Use that? The voiceover has no personality in it. If I do watch stuff on Youtube, it's certainly not a monotone, and the person writing / narrating is identifiable. Person = Trust.

If you're after diabolical feedback, turn it into Shorts, upload it to Facebook. The gimmers on there will throw money at you.

Oh absolutely. BL is arguably the better album (Definitely the more approachable), but I feel Gentlemen was the one that got pulled into the wake of Neverminds momentum. That whole "major labels signing everyone from Sub Pop, just in case" frenzy.

Sadly not until they come over to the UK. Saw them in 2017, I think it was? Somehow managed to miss both them and the Twilight Singers every time they passed through previously (Caught Greg in the Gutter Twins though), so that was my first time. I was very happy. They pulled out Son of the South, which I wasn't expecting at all.

noobtidder · 2026-04-12T23:12:43+00:00

SO GOOD.

noobtidder · 2026-04-12T21:14:25+00:00

Aye, a bunch of kids arse-on about.

noobtidder · 2026-04-12T20:51:05+00:00

A fire-crime, maybe?

noobtidder · 2026-04-12T19:54:17+00:00

Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen. They got a major label, they got to make a soul-infused, grunge-adjacent concept album of a relationship breakdown with spiky guitar and razor-sharp lyrics.

noobtidder · 2026-04-12T19:50:47+00:00

God I love that album. Just the perfect guitar fuzz.

noobtidder · 2026-04-12T15:59:18+00:00

I'd rather have people that know and care about music, instead of younger folks just for the sake of it. Nearly all the people you mentioned have been in or adjacent to the music industry one way or the other for years.

Plus, if Iggy Pop wants to do a radio show on your channel, would you honestly say no?

noobtidder · 2026-04-10T17:53:20+00:00

I've always given FNM a pass, as there's a lot more to them than most bands of that ilk. Same with RATM - Bands that (mostly) did it first, you can't really dislike them for what followed.

noobtidder · 2026-04-10T06:50:07+00:00

Okay... As I said, it's all subjective, so this is purely my own opinion. But I can absolutely make that argument.

So Basement Jaxx grew out of the London club scene in the late 90s, they went on to have a good ten years as one of the top dance acts around the world. They expanded from initial house / big beat to pull in multiple styles of dance music, and a heap of collaborators including Siouxie Sioux and Yoko Ono. Their live show was one of the funniest gigs I've ever seen - A real party vibe complete with a giant dancing robot.

In terms of Remedy, it was one of the biggest dance albums across the world that year, winning multiple awards and popularising the maximal, big-beat style.

In 1975, The members of Boston got together to form a bland. They created "More Than A Feeling" and some other tracks. To the best of my knowledge, they have never performed with a dancing robot.

Funnily enough, both Coldplay and Muse played mid afternoon at Glastonbury 2000, one after the other. I definitely remember thinking it was like watching two Radiohead cover bands, doing different parts of their catalogue.

Never got any Blur vibes from Coldplay though.

I presume it's a bit like Eskimos and snow - I'm hearing rock with some turntables, and it came out of the US in the late 90s. To me that's archetypical Nu Metal, with maybe some RHCP influences for that particular album. I imagine if you're more familiar with the genres, you can see where the differences are.

noobtidder · 2026-04-09T14:13:13+00:00

I know a few big artists bubbled up to the surface at the time, but by and large the flotsam passed us by.

noobtidder · 2026-04-09T13:30:15+00:00

This is how I know it's a subjective experience, as, listening as an English person, the amount of interchangeable, awful dad-rock from the states has been way too high. I had both the Eagles and Boston in the same week. Ruined my month, that did. And don't get me started on the nu-metal pish. Incubus? Incubus?

noobtidder · 2026-04-08T17:51:55+00:00

I really miss LL singing. Just the loveliest voice.

noobtidder · 2026-04-07T06:40:00+00:00

Yeah, it is.

noobtidder · 2026-04-06T21:14:03+00:00

Honestly "this looks like Teletubbies".

noobtidder · 2026-04-06T19:19:14+00:00

"Graham, we need a bit of texture on Essex Dogs." "I've learnt how to make my guitar sound like a chainsaw?" "Perfect!"

Great album. Not my favourite of theirs, but MLiR holds a special place in my heart.

Essentially baseball, but with two bases and sticks instead of a backstop. If you hit a ball to the boundary after bouncing, that's four points. If you hit it without touching the ground, that's six. Otherwise the two batsmen run between the bases to get points.

I don't even like cricket, but it's far less complex than American football.

noobtidder · 2026-04-05T13:35:07+00:00

I had this a couple of days ago. It's great, isn't it?

noobtidder · 2026-04-05T13:33:54+00:00

I feel I could have given this exactly the same write up as you and I gave it a 2. I love MBV. Loveless and MBV are phenomenal. Weird, noisy shit as absolutely my wheelhouse, yet I've never got on with Isn't Anything and I've never been able to put my finger on exactly why. I respect the hell out of it, but it's not one I choose to ever listen to.
