This totally destroyed my Mazzy vibe...
Please, I beg you, no more Snow Patrol. I can find that easily enough on any one of a number crappy fm stations.

Not to mention it's the wrong fucking verb. It's LIE, for Christ's sake.

No, they blew their load years ago.

Does anyone else like the irony in spelling 'sofistication' wrong?

Also, the whole theory isn't as complicated as you think. It goes like this:

If you like a song, then it works - for you.
If I fucking hate a song (like oh, I don't know, Chasing Cars ) then the song didn't work - for me.

See? It's not that hard. There's more than one way to look at it.

Plus, that's the only logical explanation for Hole having fans.

This song doesn't make me want to chase cars, so much as be thrown under one.

Tremendously important differentiation put simply. Kudos.

You know, sometimes the commercial stations screw up and play a memorable, good song. It's certainly not the bands' fault they wrote a nice, catchy song (and isn't that what most musicians strive to achieve?).

I think Matt Johnson of The The best explained why bands lose something once they become overexposed and used in commercials, etc.:

"You discover something that’s close to your heart and which resonates with your own private experiences, and then before you know it, it’s completely over exposed and everybody's discovered it, devoured it and then discarded it. Before it’s even had a chance to breathe and develop."

That said, Snow job Patrol offered little to begin with...


Agreed in part my friend, but as a band they have actually worked very hard for well over 10 years. The advent of their 'big break', while shunting them down the route of 'over exposed commercials' and American TV shows, does make it difficult sometimes to stand back and remain impartial to all the 'hype'. They work hard and are very serious about the music they create. I actually listened to this album for the first time EVER last weekend and was very surprised at how good an album it is.......you have to hand it to a band (ok, ok their label and management) when the first 6 tracks have all hit the top 10 in the charts (UK & Ireland anyway). That doesn't happen to too many artists........
