For me that's John Mellencamp's "Jack & Diane" :lol: And "You're the voice" from Sound Relief (when coming up on my USB Stick in the car tho :P)

:sneaky: :lol: Aurélie, we need to find a way to make our brains share experiences... I'd say from current observations that we'd be a good match hahaha So when we get this to work each one of us could be at one of the stages at Main Square and we wouldn't miss a thing this way. :laugh4: Seriously though, if only there was a way to be at 2 places simultanously. :bomb: A couple of metres would be enough!

:heart: :bomb: :awesome: :heart:

Aaaaaand that's my excuse for a little fangirl picspam... :embarrassed: :laugh4:

One more thing to add to the original point that you need to find a starting point to get into an artist / group: In general (besides the recommendation factor or hearing a track by accident and being surprised who the artist is) the "mere exposure effect" is important for me, too. I often just burn a CD with songs unknown to me or make a playlist on the mp3 player and let it play at work. So I'm not actively listening to the music but have it playing in the background. In most cases songs only start sticking out or become a favourite after a couple of listenings. :escaping3:

Have you seen / listened to acoustic versions of their songs already? I love them so much. :heart: For example: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc-JCy8bkN4]YouTube - Biffy Clyro - How we wrote 'Many of Horror'[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUZCnjtX-2U]YouTube - Biffy Clyro - Folding Stars Acoustic[/ame] And then I'd suggest these as a starting point: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv_MTiQiVJA]YouTube - Biffy Clyro - Only Revolutions - Bubbles[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxQmV0Sd6qo]YouTube - Biffy Clyro-Born On A Horse (Album Version)[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkdJPjNqwq0]YouTube - Biffy Clyro - Machines [New][/ame] Mainly the last two albums. But that's not really helping, right? :uhoh: But there are some great ones on the older ones, too.

That's a great idea with the frames and little "wtf"-movements!! :awesome: Thanks for sharing your pics, Paula. :nice:

:wideeyed: :awesome: It hadn't been sent to me yet. Looking forward to it! I couldn't find scans of it but stumbled upon this interview: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcE0Mhvam0Y]YouTube - Biffy Clyro interview at Teenage Cancer Trust 2011[/ame] Talking about the "different kinds of fans" (post-puzzle vs. pre-puzzle), X-Factor (agaaaaain), touring the US...

No links outside of MM, please!! :nice: Remember this thread.

Welcome to coldplaying! :nice: Same here haha!

Haha it's turning into a "confess you're not a Radiohead fan" thread. :lol: (Well, add me to it :uhoh:) But I love the original idea of this thread and I had similar experiences than what you described. Sometimes it really takes finding the right starting point.

From http://www.teenagecancertrust.org/what-we-do/royal-albert-hall/2011/day-3-3/ My soundtrack Simon Neil What was the first single/album you bought? Now 11 with Belinda Carlisle on it. Sweet. Who was the first band you saw live? The very first gig i went to with a friend was Metallica at the SECC in Glasgow. What music/musician had the biggest influence on you as a teenager? It would have to be Kurt Cobain and Nirvana. They made us realise we could play music too; we didn't have to be virtuosos. In a film about your life – what would be your theme tune? Radiohead, Idioteque. What music do you find inspiring? Red House Painters are always an inspiration. Is there any song or piece of music that gives you comfort? Oceansize Ornament/The Last Wrongs. One of the most satisfying pieces of music ever written. What song never fails to cheer you up? My Morning Jacket, Highly Suspicious. When you were a teenager, what band did you want to be in and why? I was never good enough but i would have loved to be in Guns'n'Roses. Do you have a favourite album cover/artwork? Tomahawk Mit Gas. Beautiful. Is there a song or album that for you, represents ‘teenage angst’? Nirvana's In Utero is dripping in angst. James Johnston What was the first single/album you bought? The first single I bought was Kylie and Jason - 'Especially for You.' Not really a cool choice by any means, but I was eight at the time. The first album was 'use Your Illusion 1' by Guns 'N' Roses. What a great introduction to rock music! Who was the first band you saw live? The first band that I wanted to see was Rancid. I remember just being amazed at how intimidating it was being surrounded by so many angry people, at least that's what I thought then. Really everyone was having a great time, and I got such a rush from the energy in the room. What music/musician had the biggest influence on you as a teenager? Like most rock fans of my age Kurt Cobain was the biggest influence on us as teenagers. Musically he was a great antidote to some of the horrible music that was around at the time. He showed us that you didn't have to look a certain way or play a certain way, and he made people like us feel we could start a band. He, along with Nirvana almost singlehandedly managed to change the whole musical landscape. In a film about your life – what would be your theme tune? I'd go for 'Good Times Roll' by the Cars. It's a song that reminds me of growing up; it's just an absolute classic. What music do you find inspiring? I really get a lot out of great lyricists and beautiful song writers. I love Elliot Smith and Bright Eyes and people like Fleetwood Mac and the Beach Boys are hugely inspiring and will be for generations to come. Is there any song or piece of music that gives you comfort? There are probably many that give great comfort, the first that comes to mind is 'My Baby Just Cares For Me' by Nina Simone. The sound of the drums and piano is just so suggestive and the way her voice wraps round them is like velvet. I can always listen to that song again and again. What song never fails to cheer you up? 'We built this city' by Starship. As soon it starts you're in a good mood. It's just so unashamed you've got to enjoy it. When you were a teenager, what band did you want to be in and why? I always thought it would have been pretty cool to be in Soundgarden. They were definitely one of my favourite bands and musically they were ahead of the game. They always had the best riffs and had a great knack of making really complex music sound seemingly simple. Do you have a favourite album cover/artwork? The body of work Storm Thorgerson has contributed to album artwork over the years is just staggering. Some of his most recognisable work was done with Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, but I would recommend anyone to have a look further. He really does have an ability to make the real appear unreal. Is there a song or album that for you, represents ‘teenage angst’? Rage Against The Machine, Killing In The Name. It may be an obvious choice, but it is one that has stuck around in our lives for many years. Everytime it was on in a club, the whole place would erupt with shouting in harmony. It’s a song that really get's you going, and has been passed from generation to generation as a rallying call against the masses.
