nice one, eklek!
lithuanians love to copy stuff, very badly.

they can copy ANYTHING, but only very very badly. If you thought you couldn't go lower than "Barbie Girl"... here you are This makes the original seem like a slick commentary on modern society and consumerism, doesn't it?

Here's the Lithuanian Coldplay:

"This makes the original seem like a slick commentary on modern society and consumerism, doesn't it?"

..Yva is doing a lot better job than Aqua in commenting on the current state of the world we live in, I think, especially because Yva's version builds on Barbie Girl.

Amberlife's "Fly" is not a really elevating song: not catchy, no surprises etc. The singing does indeed remind of Chris Martin..

Curious about proper modern Lithuanian rock though..

lol at your first reply. no lol for amberlife, they're just crap. Coldplay only get deux points from me anyway, so if you are going to copy them, i'm not really going to listen.

i would love to find you some great exciting real band, but i can't. however, economy is on the up, there's a lot of kids walking round town with new guitars on their backs, i guess it will come eventually.

the best live bands i have seen are hiphop and reggae. There's a lot of really good musicians and they all play in each others' bands, oldschool style... but nobody really seems to be innovating anything or putting together a credible mainstream act.

the most innovation is in electronic music which i guess is naturally more futuristic and less retro.

well anyway, i am biased, haven't really been into rock since kurt went and oasis released their "difficult second album" which was shit except for wonderwall

oasis fighting coldplay, bareknuckle style, now THAT i would pay to see.

Wow... totally egregious dude!

ok i looked it up and i still don't know what you mean or what you are referring to, although MW does say "conspicuously bad" so i guess you mean Coldplay.

Thanks for the links, will try out some of the artists..:) Hopefully those new Lithuanian guitars will bring original music. Often creativity lies in limitations.

There's a clip featuring Oasis and Coldplay

Would be nice to see more video mash-ups like
Oasis vs Green Day

As far as Wonderwall is concerned: I like the track but it's an overexposed track.

ughhhhhhh the oasis/coldplay link lasted 5 seconds for me before i had to nuke it. that first album was only good because they didn't give a fuck and weren't famous. The recordings were great. And rough. As soon as people told them they were good, they became shit. Spent too much money in the studio. singalong robbie williams crap. you are right about limitations being important.

Liam Gallagher is a great vocalist though. And wonderwall's a great song, so long as you were around to hear it when it first came out, and now you don't actually listen to it

oh, and.. er... i don't do green day any more either, it's just too close to coldplay First albums always rule though. Unless you're blur, in which case the difficult second is actually the best.

stop rambling? who said that?

Yes, debuts generally are the best: these document the vision of the artist. Afterwards this vision is further developed (or copy-pasted too intensively, resulting in a suffocating status quo), sometimes leading to similar but better productions.

Talking about Robbie Williams:
Robbie Williams has gathered a whole team around him: Guy Chambers (wrote "Angel"), William Orbit (produced Madonna's Ray of Light), Andy Rourke (The Smiths), Peter Hook (New Order)..
A strategy to absorb more contemporary "alternative" influences in "his" music, to keep in touch with the current pop stream?
We'll hear what comes out of this collaboration.

Wonderwall is permamently etched in my memory..
..same counts for Blvd of Broken Dreams..
Both songs have a similar catchiness in the melody that is (too?) easily absorbed.

Umm... it was.

^yeah i know. but it was a little too self indulgent to be entirely believeable as political discourse, don't you think?

lol

We are the winners, of eurovison. we are! we are!, we are! we are!

So you must vote vote vote vote for the winners...

OMFG, the dissonance in her singing hurts my ears. Geez. I'm shuddering here. There's trash, and then there's GAH trash.

Having just launched a good music video out into the Sift, let me also knock this godawful mess out of your queue! Gotta keep the balance, you know.
