i was in topman today and saw the staff wearing a top advertising nme's new noise tour.
now forgetting the bands that are performing i find it quite upsetting for such a money-making, commercial,and predictable magazine like the nme to name one of their tours using the title of the Refused song New Noise.
The nme are everything i believe Refused stood against and to see Refused's classic anthem and ethos used in this way fills me with quite a lot of disgust and even more hatred towars the nme.
Am i wrong?
yes
its unlikely to have anything to do with Refused, and im not sure that a lot of the NMEs readership, and maybe even writers, will be aware of the song.
To be honest, I've never heard of it either.
S'a catchy title for a tour though, innit.
im aware,
that most readers and people attending will not have heard of Refused or the song which makes me even more angry. I would hope Refused did have nothing to do with it though.
Hmmm
Its unlikely Refused own the rights to the words 'New' and 'Noise'.
Meh
Some people haven't heard of every song ever. Life goes on.
of course they dont
refused have nothing to do with anything nowadays
REFUSED ARE FUCKING DEAD
haha well said
but dont rub it in eh? long live refused! fuck off NME
i played it when
we djed hannah's folk night you dolt. you know the really noisey song that got me told off?
All songs should be called something like that.
'Your Mum Won't Like This One!'
'The One That Made The Neighbours Angry'
'It's Got A Bit In The Middle Where He Screams'.
Refused >>> Folk
calm.
it's just an alliteration. just because i enjoy kicking pigeons it doesn't mean that i enjoy the music of [spunge].
Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
[spunge]lover.
Jeez, If you're so counter cultural
what were you doing in Topman?
i
bought two plain white t-shirts for 10 pounds.
I'm afraid the words 'Plain' 'White' and 'T's' have already been copyrighted.
This user is everything that Plain Whites Ts stood up against!
haha
TEXTBOOK.
ha!
£10.00 + the psychic damage of everything Refused stood against
That's such a good deal!
mister
jon hillcocks show is called new noise, as it's the nme perhaps they haven't heard of refused and are copying him instead.
Refused are shit anyway.
^ This.
I really
doubt it's anything to do with Refused. I doubt Refused were the first to use the name either.
I'm waiting for the NME INDIE RAVE TOUR 2008.
This actually happened
in 2006. No joke.
If there is ever a time for a facepalm
this is it.
I thought it was last year?
my gran
once said the words
"oh that's a new noise" once when she heard a new noise.
so she wins
fight thesystem guys
just one more obscure punk band reference and, well, we have only to kick in the door and the whole rotting edifice will come tumbling down upon itself.
Smash it!
Fuck off
You silly punkier-than-thou rightious bellend.
shut up
you pretentious twat, what a ridiculous thread. new noise is just a generic term. idiot.
bah
here's me thinking the next big thing was gonna be people name-checking merzbow and harsh noise artists and stuff
i don't really know
i'm going to crystal castles on firday though i think
