Are there any fans of any of these musicians here? Because they're all sooooooo awesome. Somehow I'm doubting it, though
Art rock super group. :o

Xiu Xiu is pretty good. The new project is probably good too.
I have heard a fair bit of Xiu Xiu, some of it is a little too abrasive for me, but Fabulous Muscles is a pretty good album.
The best 'supergroup' is still Broken Social Scene!
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
I've heard some good things about Xiu Xiu, so I need to give them more of a proper listen than I have up until this point. Gave Zola Jesus, Freddy Ruppert and Former Ghosts a quick listen too, but it's getting late here and I'm tired.. so I'll wait until tomorrow to give it a proper go.
What I did manage hear was pretty promising and interesting.
Imo, Freddy Ruppert's solo stuff is merely "meh." Nika Roza's Zola Jesus is smurfing amazing though. And I'm a really big fan of Ruppert's work in Former Ghosts (he's pretty much the 'front man' of the band).Originally Posted by Breine
And I'm a complete hysterical angsty wrist cutting teenager for Xiu Xiu.
wow... this might be the most pretentious post i have ever seen on this board...
She looks so pretty in her casket, I'm in love with a corpse!
Yes, god forbid someone talk about music that isn't known to millions.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
I was thinking about commenting on each song individually, but the same thing came to my mind for each one of those tracks.
The music playing was nothing but annoying, and just plain unpleasant to listen to.
I'm glad I took the honor. I'm failing to see the pretension, though. Was it when I called the music "fag art rock?" Cuz I was kind of aiming for that to be ironic or something, I don't actually enjoy or use the term "art rock." Or was it when I talked about the musicians here:
I ... I don't get what I did that was pretentious there either. Just stating an opinion. I wonder if I would be pretentious if I said something like "Hollywood Rose's stuff is merely meh but I'm a really big fan of Axl's work in Guns n Roses." Seriously I'm confused. Similarly, I thought that "hysterical angsty wrist cutting teenager" sort of made it clear I don't take myself that seriously.Imo, Freddy Ruppert's solo stuff is merely "meh."

Or maybe you think I'm pretentious just because of the music that was posted. I listen to Lady Gaga and Madonna, and saw Britney Spears in concert, love~~ Maybe you should look up the definition of pretentious, though
Also @charliepayani - I've never gave BSS a proper listen
Ironic or not, you can't use epithets of hate around here.
I like what I've heard of Former Ghosts' work. "Hold On" and especially "The Bull and the Ram" are good. That Nika Roza has a really interesting voice. Looking forward to getting more into her Zola Jesus project.
I thought Freddy Ruppert's solo thing, This Song Is A Mess But So Am I, was okay. I liked "Peregrine" and "Lonely Way" the best. But yeah, it seems like he's better in Former Ghosts.
The songs that Nika Roza sings on in Former Ghosts are awesome. The Bull and the Ram is one of my favorite songs period - her voice is sooooooo strong~~~ She reminds me of Kate Bush, in a way. In Earth's Palm is the other song she does vox for, it's also great.
You clearly haven't really looked around much here, have you?
Anyway I listened to some of that stuff. Not too bad.
i dont care about the music im not calling that pretentious im calling your post pretentious.
you just assume that no one has heard of your music... thats what is pretentious to me. i have heard these bands before, and i am sure lots of other people on this board have as well. it's just insulting to people to assume that your musical knowledge of indie bands is superior.Are there any fans of any of these musicians here? Because they're all sooooooo awesome. Somehow I'm doubting it, though

Oh lovey~~ I wasn't assuming my musical knowledge of indie bands is superior. I don't listen to that much indie music at all - pretty much these artists~~~ You or charliepayani probably have far more extensive knowledge in that regard. I said that because, in all honesty, I wasn't expecting fans of this kind of noise to frequent a Final Fantasy message board. And I wasn't asking if they've heard of the music, either, I was asking if they were fans. Xiu Xiu is a very abrasive band that a lot of people have a seething hatred for~ Either way, I still don't see the pretension - it's not like these are popular bands.
I'm going to resume listening to Lil' Mama now, baiiiiiiiiiii, love youuuu~
