Dan talks music with NME
 

In the December 2004 issue of NME Magazine, Dan gave his opinion on particular songs by the following bands - The Libertines, The Others, Franz Ferdinand & Keane.

I disagree with him about Keane, the chorus is wonderfully heartfelt but their music isn't meant to make you dance, it's meant to make you listen to the lyrics but to each his own.

Perfectly said Emma :)I think Keane are great :yes:

I agree

Didn't he rave about Franz's album before? Doesn't seem like he likes it as much now, judging on this.

I havent heard of any of those bands other than Franz Ferdinand.

That's because they're all British, I think.

Oh, are they local british bands or are they just promoting their music in England?

Franz isn't British, Keane and The Libertines are, I'm not sure about The Others.

No, they're pretty national, pretty big too. Franz Ferdinand won the Mercury Music Prize and Keane were nominated for it. Keane had the biggest selling album of 2004 in the UK.

Franz are Scottish and Scotland is a part of the UK last time I checked LOL

^^^The Others are British too. I think.

Yesh I agree with Em about Keane too :yes:

Ahhh!
 

Keane are fantastic love them.
He is is so right about the Libertines that song it is a good song but is just one that you just can't stop singing (maybe thats just me!) LoL!
Agree with him about Franz -Take me out.

Haven't heard anyone of those except Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out", and that's a pretty good song. Glad Dan agrees with me on that.

Keane - "Bedshaped"

"Don't laugh at me, don't look away. Cause you'll follow me back with the sun in your eyes and on your own, bedshaped and legs of stone. You knock on my door and up we'll go, in white light, I don't think so. But what do I know, what do I know?"

"The Last Time"

"The last time, you fall on me for anything you like, the one last lie, you fall on me for anything you like and years make everything right. You fall on me for anything you like and I, no I don't mind..."

i've heard of all these bands cuz of dan, but never listened to any of their music except franz ferdinand (who i've heard from elsewhere)...

cool. ;)

I don`t know anything about `The Libertines` and `The Others`, but Franz Ferdinand and Keane isn`t lyrical or sad, or anything like that. It is just awful!

I disagree with him about Keane, the chorus is wonderfully heartfelt but their music isn't meant to make you dance, it's meant to make you listen to the lyrics but to each his own.

Yeah, I`m perfectly agree with you - this music doesn`t made to
dance, but to cry, may be? :)

I should think he's still pretty keen on Franz, as he got to ask them 3 question in the new Franz issue of NME. Speaking of which, has that been posted yet? I could always make a scan of that for SS...

He just doesn't seem as keen as he was, in this.

Oooh that'd be brilliant! You could submit it as news too using the new facility on the front page!

cool! i luv ''take me out"

:loved: that was awesome! I love finding out anything about Dan.. his likes/dislikes, whatever it is!! :lol:

all ive heard of is the libertines and franz ferdinand
