Well at least it's not like Ontario which sounds like an obscure skin condition.

Albertan sounds like it'd be a good name for a ship.

Everything. That's why I live in Ontario. Pfft. That's what all Ontarians say. Buncha liars!

Some parts of "The Space Between" are tolerable.

If only his vocals weren't so annoying, it would be a very decent band.

"You Are Here" - Matt Good

Now you're just foolin!

An episode of Futurama says it best: -..."You are the last hope of the universe." -"So, I really am important? How I feel when I'm drunk is correct?" - "Yes. Except the Dave Matthews Band doesn't rock."

"Life Like Weeds" - Modest Mouse

i rest my case. i actually feel in alot of ways matt good and the killers arent too far removed from each other musically. this tool would never admit it though. I don't see your argument. I'd admit it, surely, if it was true. But Matthew Good's first real release was originally an independant release that got famous on its own merits. Also, Matthew Good afterwards proved that he could continue to deliver with Underdogs and subsequent releases. Other bands that started without so much success have gone on to become some of the greatest successes. I'll use Radiohead as an example because I'm familiar with them. But critics continued to question whether they had what it took to really be a serious band up until the release of OK Computer, their 3rd major release. Whereas the Killers have released all of 1 album, and have been given this world wide exposure for songs that are none-too-special, and in the case of "Somebody Told Me" downright annoying. They walk on the scene and suddenly they're all that and they're given grammys and world tours. For a band that's mediocre at best and not proven itself, they're undeserving of this treatment. Of course they're not the only band like this I have a problem with, Franz Ferdinand is equally horrid, need I also mention Jet? Not until these bands earn their stripes will I give them much of a chance, and I have to say my first impressions of both have been negative from what I've heard on the radio even before I knew who they were. Sure, they're "fun" I guess you could argue, but so are many other bands, if I want to listen to a fun band there's plenty, I prefer The Refreshments, it's a super-saturated market. They hardly deserve their place because they're "fun". In reality they're simply manufactured pop stars that had the luck of being picked up by a major label and given the degree of promotion that you need for everyone to hear you. There are far more deserving bands out there that have been plugging away for far longer that deserve the exposure. I'm not telling you what to like, as you've all lambasted me for, I'm giving my opinion, and my opinion is that you're all followers of corporate propoganda, and I'm sure you truly believe they're a great band. However, if you looked around a little, which I suggest you do, there are far better bands out there whose concerts cost far less to attend because they havn't yet hit the big-time - and I dearly hope most of the bands I like do, since they've earned their stripes and deserve it for the work and material they've created. Sure I don't like the Killers, that's not secret, but only because there's so many better bands out there. You can't release 11 tracks and expect worldwide adulation, at least I hope you can't, its sad that a band can get so much from so little when others do it so much better and so much more yet get so much less credit. Well if people like a band, it must be because they're all corporate tools, certainly not because they like the way it sounds, no way.... certainly can't be that.

Gotta love that self-righteousness.

I saw it just yesterday. I expected it to be total shit also, but it was only 75% shit. Very predictable too. Worth seeing just once though.

"Ghost" - Neutral Milk Hotel

Yeah, admitting things will never get you anywhere good. But The Killers do have a good sound.

You're from Ontario, what do you know!

The premise behind the movie seems really dumb. I don't plan on seeing it.

i'm top 5 ;) Since when's there such a list??

"Woman Driving, Man Sleeping" - Eels

Actually I was joking.

Buncha nerds.

"Teeth Like God's Shoe-shine" - Modest Mouse

That's encouraging I suppose.

Is it any good??

"Just Watch the Fireworks" - Jimmy Eat World

None of them.
