James Blunt. Yea or nae?

[kabbes]

What a ridiculous fucking question

It is absolutely a ridiculous question. But no more ridiculous than declaring that some music is "SHITE" when so clearly so many people disagree. The enjoyment of music is an entirely subjective experience -- if you like something, it cannot be "wrong" to like it.

 

[dodgepot]

So what, in your incredibly educated opinion, constitutes GOOD?

No, I think you'll find that actually that is all ghastly, twee, horrendous SHITE.


See? It's stupid.

then in that case it's perfectly okay for someone to have the opinion that it's "shite"?

Something that isn't James Blunt.

 

[Chairman Meow]

What a ridiculous fucking question

Yes.

I'm partial to Bowie, Schoenberg and the Sultans of Ping.

may otr may not be entirely true

 

[kabbes]

Course it is. But to declare it as an absolute fact is just bein antagonistic for the sake of it. It's being elitist.

No-one said it was "wrong", they said it was "SHITE", which is

a) Completely different and
b) Completely correct.

Hmm and double-hmm.

 

[Structaural]

Noooooo!

 

[Chairman Meow]

I'll call James Blunt shite if I like. Its a perfectly valid opinion, and a pretty common one too.

 

[The Groke]

Course it is. But to declare it as an absolute fact is just bein antagonistic for the sake of it. It's being elitist.

eh?

 

[kabbes]

eh?

Don't understand, eh? Never mind.

 

[The Groke]

Hmm and double-hmm.

Or indeed ""





Meow said Blunt was shite.

Other people (albeit very few) have declared Blunt to be good.

These are just opinions and at gunpoint I will admit that each is as valid as the other.

No-one (yet) has said anything like:

"Blunt is SHITE, this is a stone cold, empirical FACT and anyone that disagrees is wrong and smells of wee and should be euthanised for the good of society"

although you seem to think they have......

 

[Poi E]

What was wrong with plain old James Blount?

 

[El Jefe]

Don't understand, eh? Never mind.

Do you have to get up extra-early each day to practice being this much of a fuckwit?

 

[souljacker]

Really bad shite, In MY Opinion

I'm pretty sure I'm spot on with this, but fully expect that others may like his music. But In My Opinion he, and his music, is shite

Yes, I think that what Meow wrote was an equivalently unequivocal statement to your latter point, although without the euthanasia and wee.

 

[El Jefe]

Kabbes - are you really suggesting that we add 'in my opinion' to every post we make about music, or indeed any other matter on these boards?

or are you just being a tit?

 

[kabbes]

Do you have to get up extra-early each day to practice being this much of a fuckwit?

No, I just work at it really hard.

In real life, I have to be nice and kind and thoughtful and helpful. You poor fuckers get the fallout.

Fall out? On the contrary, seeing people making cocks of themselves in the fashion you have puts enough of a smile on my face to put up with the rougher parts of life

You don't have to say "in my opinion" for the context to be clear that it is just an opinion. Similarly, you don't have to say, "this is fact" for the context to be clear that you believe yourself to be making a stone-cold fact.

This is fact.

Good. Then everybody is a winner.

Go on then -- what's your excuse?

This is fact.

And yet... what Chairman Meow posted was obviously an opinion. So why all the toys out of the pram?

 

[El Jefe]

Good. Then everybody is a winner.

My excuse for what?

 

[kabbes]

Being a cock, of course.

 

[The Groke]

*gives up*

 

[El Jefe]

Being a cock, of course.

Ah.

Well, the only cock I see here is you. But hey, that's just my opinion

 

[The Groke]

Ah.

The evidence leans towards "fact!" on that one.....

 

[ViolentPanda]

I hadn't heard much by him, barring the inescapable ' Beautiful '.

At the funeral yesterday the closing music was Goodbye my lover, a song that could have been specially written to describe John and Angie's relationship.

It was incredibly moving.

I downloaded his albums yesterday and have been listening to them.

How does Urban view him?

He was a horsey guards officer Sas.

Nuff said.
