Konichiwa Songfighers.

DRC: It's just another day in the Niviverse, filled with stories of giant roaches, Young Jeezy singalongs and other stuff and nonsense.

QotD: In a similiar vein to yesterday's question- Is there a Songfighter that you tried to get into their music but just couldn't?

[JonPorobil]

My mind continues to resist the attraction of WreckdoM. I can see the originality and craftsmanship in many of their songs, but I still have yet to actually *like* something of theirs.

[erik]

If I don't like music, I don't try and get into it.

[Reist]

Hell Yeahs. I tried ...

[drë]

QOTD: let the name dropping begin!

i usually turn to SF for originality and creativeness,
so its hard for me to get into artist that try to mimic too closely stuff you can hear on the radio. its like:
whats the point? you know i can get a better quality of this by just turning on FM/XM ?
someone that doesn't fit this mold and still don't get would be MC ERIC.

QOTD: I've never met a SF'er that I didn't like.

Well, have you ever had a situation like Generic did, where there's a band that you've heard others rave about and have given them more than one try but find you don't like them? Or do bands only get one shot with you?

so, how many SF'ers have you met ? and if you haven't met any, does that mean you dislike all ?

...to answer your question. When I was a boy growing up in Ohio, I had to overcome diversity. My mother raised me and my brothers and sisters to fight for what we believe in. So I decided that if I'm elected, I will pass a bill that all coke vending machine will have a minimum of 3 kinds of beer.

I'm Niveous Devilchild and I do not approve this message.

Not exactly. I mean, I'm not going to listen to music that I don't like just because other people like it. There are lots of songs and bands that people really like that I don't like at all, but I'm like BLT, I don't really want to namedrop SF bands I hate.

Or do bands only get one shot with you?

Naw, but I can tell pretty easily whether I like a song or not. If I'm already hating it like 5 seconds in, I can skip ahead and see if it gets any better, and if not, then I can just stop listening.

[Niveous]

I can understand not wanting to namedrop an SF'er you don't like. I can't fault you for that. When I made of the question, my feeling was that bands are bands and if we can talk about mainstream bands in the way we did yesterday, why can't we talk about SF'ers that way. (Even with the overwhelming fear that I would be a name frequently on the lips of people answering the question.) If it goes against your sense of community, don't answer.

hey with answers like that... you have my vote!

[Niveous]

He'd have to answer a few more questions before getting my vote? First up, what are your feelings on dinosaurs?

Yeah, but hot girls are hot girls, but there's a difference between saying "I'd like to do dirty, dirty things to Hayden Panettiere" and "I'd like to do dirty, dirty things to your sister, Erik". One's like "hahhaha,yeah" and the other one is like "whoa, why are you telling me that?" Talking about people who are never going to read what you wrote is one thing, and talking about people who are probably going to read what you wrote is another thing altogether.

[HeuristicsInc]

actually, some known bands are known to troll google... they may actually hear what we said about them!
maybe hayden does too, who knows

[drë]

so its now between "do the cheerleader, save the world" and "vote BLT 2008" ?
who hijacked this thread ?

[Niveous]

One is kinda pedophile creepy while the other will make FBF kick your ass.

Talking about people who are never going to read what you wrote is one thing, and talking about people who are probably going to read what you wrote is another thing altogether.

Again, completely understandable. I just figured that one of the disciplines of SF is learning how to take criticism and this isn't even the worst kind of criticism, it's "I gave your music the old college try and it just wasn't my thing". But you are 100% right that there is a difference between talking about people who may never hear it and those who may.

Very good question. When I was coming up in the world, a wise man once told me, our past success will be overshadowed by our future success. We need light to make a shadow, so yes, our futures will be bright.

I like it. You're my new campaign manager.
.....it's a volunteer position, but very rewarding.

[Spud]

There have been very, very, very many people who have made us the answer to this question in their reviews. It is most frequently phrased thus: "I don't get Octothorpe". I am only assuming that they tried.

If there are more of you out there lurking feel free to post away. Believe me, our feelings will not be hurt. One of the most respected reviewers on SongFight! has already said it.

[Billy's Little Trip]

"I don't get Octothorpe"

That's actually a complement to your superiority. He who throws dirt is losing ground.
