So sooky, but not watery pap.:confused:
You writing your own dictionary there, Silent? Can I have a read? Or can you just clarify the difference between these two?
I'll grant that Eskimo Joe isn't really the high energy rock band that one would mosh to, but their show was really solid last night.
Do I sound like I know what I'm talking about?:p
Watery Pap: wishy washy, dreamy stuff with no real beat and a watery sort of melody. Lead singer a suspected homer sexual.
Sooky: girly sooky lyrics with jangly guitars designed to appeal to the chicks. Lead singer probably not a homer sexual but could be the type of person who picks up girls by making them feel sorry for him.
Hope it helps :D
BTW I just switched off JJJ because they started playing a Scissor Sisters song. That guy IS a homer sexual, not that there's anything wrong with that.
I've dug out an old Blur cd instead.
I hope not! For radio listening, I only tune in to ABC Classic FM (it's on the car radio, the alarm clock, the study HiFi, the shed radio and the main HiFi...Quote:

Ever listened to Evanescence? They have a new album coming out and a new track is on the radio. Amy Lee has the most amazing voice....cool;)
I would just like to add Dan Kelly and the Alpha Males, whose new album is currenly being featured on JJJ, to the definition of Watery Pap.
In fact, I have just discovered that anything which Robbie Buck describes as "lucious", is in fact "watery pap", as he has used that word to describe BOTH Dan Kelly and the Alpha Males AND The Sleepy Jackson in recent weeks.
So, lucious (as defined by Robbie Buck) = Watery Pap (as defined by me). It's handy to know these things.
JJJ does play alot of crap, but they are the only station out there doing anything for smaller Australian bands. Went and seen Gyroscope and the Butterfly effect the other night and JJJ is the only station that will play them. both concerts were packed so there must still be a big audience for the station. Thankfully we still have a place in Wollongong called Yallah road house that still does live music.

No, he's just irritating :D
Don't worry, you'll catch on ;)

Did we just "do the time warp again"? :)
I saw George Thorogood in concert last time he was out here. Before he played the old Elmore James song "The sky is crying he said
"There's two types of music in the world today. The Blues and that bulls%^t you see on television.........if it that good, you'd be home watching it right now"
