Worth pointing out also that the Cardigans were shit, are shit and always will be shit.

Cardigans Canon Key!

All Surface, No Freakytigger

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

i'm surprised, tbh. i mean, ok it's slightly simpering indie, but it's got a good beat...

Tom does like Teddybears 'Yours To Keep' tho which I've always thought of as BEATING THE CARDIGANS AT A GAME THEY WEREN'T EVEN BOLD ENOUGH TO PLAY.

ok where are you getting this from

"BEATING THE CARDIGANS AT A GAME THEY WEREN'T EVEN BOLD ENOUGH TO PLAY"

i invoke rule of 3

literally: it's from LouJag who used it to describe Blur in comparison to Radiohead (!)

non-literally: it really sounds like it could be the Cards

while we are on subjects of bemusing things people are suddenly saying for 0 reason, where do the following come from and what do they mean:

- "I has a bucket"
- "8080"

Re: All Surface, No Freakytigger

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

i has a bucket http://wordpress.com/tag/lolrus/
8080 is OTM on the nu-ilx for no good reason. it was in the URL of ILX for a while (as the port number, if it matters)

Re: All Surface, No Freakytigger

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

more specific lolrus stuff: http://icanhascheezburger.com/tag/bucket/page/2/

Re: All Surface, No Freakytigger

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

I still don't get the bucket thing. Is it meant to be funny?

I knew 8080 meant otm, I just didn't know why! I still don't to be honest but at least I know where it came from.

People are odd.

Re: All Surface, No Freakytigger

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

if you are not tickled by http://icanhascheezburger.com/2007/01/14/i-has-a-bucket/ etc then the world can live with that.

Re: All Surface, No Freakytigger

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Is it photoshopped? It's not really funny.

Re: All Surface, No Freakytigger

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

you don't think the idea of a walrus having a bucket only for the bucket to be, according to him, stolen and for said walrus to be unable to grasp the english language entirely correctly but just enough to be understood is funny?

I PITY YOU

Re: All Surface, No Freakytigger

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Especially as it's not even a walrus!

Re: All Surface, No Freakytigger

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

No! How is it supposed to be funny? The caption is really lame.

Re: All Surface, No Freakytigger

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

I PITY YOU SOME MORE

the trouble is it's now v easy for unfunny people on ILX to latch onto these things very quickly and ruin them.

8080 was a thing in the nuilx url that has since vanished when we went to nuilx 1.2

I like Lovefool. This has caused me MUCH UNDESERVED SCORN from my peers!

Re: If You Tolerate This Catatonia Will Be Next

[strange-powers.livejournal.com]

Cardigans were often really, really great. The ultra-twee early records are loads of fun, and they only got dull for me in the mid-period. Surely no-one needs to hear Lovefool ever again, it's like You're Gorgeous to me now...

The Manics got a tick from me purely because of Nina's vocals, which lift the whole thing out of the plod-rock mire.
