Hey guys, just heard a great song on the radio, but I didn't catch the name of the song or the artist's name.
It has a chorus that goes something along the lines of: "With my hands on my heart/my heart's in my hands". Secod verse has to do with dying, third verse with shame of denying his god/holding a woman.
SOunds vague I know, but any help would be appreciated. I really liked it for some reason.
Mumford & Sons, 'Winter Winds".

Brilliant.
Listen to "little Lion Man" locusts it's another top song by this underated band.
I think that if you listen to it again you will realize that it does, in fact, suck balls.
I heard this playing at my brother's the other day, I assumed it was the radio. Then it went on to more tiresome bilge.
He's bought it. I'm worried, first Kings of Leon, now this. I may have to kill him.
Forgive me for liking it. I really identify with the lyrics to this particular song.
Don't mind Gloady and Godpleton, they have hearts of icy blackness when it comes to music. I reckon Mike was startled in his crib by a Mickey Mouse doll that sang sentimental modern ballads. Godpleton's problems are... broader.

Everyone is different and has different tastes. I respect anyones musical tastes unless they watch & listen to the X Factor hype... That then is a different matter and they need sectioning!!
Roger needs sectioning all right.

Yes, but which way to cut? Top to bottom? Left to right? Opposing quadrants?
Little archaeological humour there for ya'll, ayethankyew, I'm available for hen parties and brises.
Why is it that nowadays when anyone, anywhere, ever expresses a liking for any type of music whatsoever there has to be someone there to chime in and slag it off?
Music is entirely subjective, and it's also very personal. Although I sometimes despair at my sister's 'poor' taste in music (Jamie Cullum, Jason Mraz, Newton Faulkner etc) I am careful not to offend her because I am fully aware that doing so is snobby and irritating.
I used to be a bit of a music snob, but encountering several people at uni who were even snobbier than myself showed me the error of my ways.
I suppose I am guilty of being elitist from time to time, but you have the right attitude radiator.
Hey Tordel, where do you do most of your archeologying? I'd love to come out to a dig with the trusty ole Super-8 camera a document some bone prospecting.
Ach, I doubt Mike meant it seriously - he's a muso himself, and as with all that grubby clan he knows what he likes, even if it sounds like noise to normal folk. Knocking others' musical tastes is surely just ribbing - my own wife's horror-inducing love of Yes has been the subject of many an enjoyable slagging match. She even dragged me to a Shania Twain concert once, and I still married her (now that's good sex).
Locusts, sad to say the sun may have set on my bone-prospecting days, as I've been in the development-led business side of the game for 13 years now (chasing building sites about Ireland and peering into the holes they dug), and without any development pickings are understandably slim. 95% unemployment is the most recent figure from our so-called professional institute, down from 2000 making a living from archaeology in 2008 to maybe 100 now. What larks.
What's probably our last excavation is winding up in a few weeks, or sooner if the faithless motherfucker of a client doesn't make with the readies. I'll miss it, there's nothing quite like the rush of making genuine sense of some mottled brown muck, or pulling something dazzling out of a sloppy mess. Still, one foot in front of the other and you never know - I've been here before more than once.

I liked it, was going to say that myself but thought you'd be the only person who'd GET it.

Correct, I'm ribbing. I don't have trouble with the folks who BUY records I think are bad, course not - my problems are with the people who make them (COLDPLAY). Kate and I want to make an art film where we destroy several bad vinyl records she's been sent climaxing in the destruction of a Coldplay record. I am a muso-snob and I make no apologies for it, having said that I do like a lot of non-snobby bands and records, so these things aren't hard and fast by any means.
Music is MOSTLY subjective, but criticism is all about constructing arguments that can be tested to some degree. If someone, for example, wears their influences a little too prominently on their sleeves you can comfortably (and with little chance of being contradicted successfully) accuse them of ripping someone else off. Of course, the artist always have the fall-back position of "homage". But yeah, I tend to agree for the most part with your position TB.
