While primarily a vocalist and guitarist, he also plays harmonica, piano and bass guitar. Coming to prominence in the late 1970s with The Soft Boys, Hitchcock afterwords launched a prolific solo career. Hitchcock's musical and lyrical styles have been influenced by his appreciation of Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Syd Barrett. Hitchcock's lyrics are an essential component of his work and tend to include surrealism, comedic songs, characterizations of English eccentrics and melancholy depictions of everyday life. His themes include what many psychologists view as the roots of modern neurosis - namely, death, sex and eating. (Recognising this theme, he released an EP in 2007 called "Sex, Food, Death and Tarantulas".) my blog is "Yer Blog" http://fab4yerblog.blogspot.com/ http://robotsarestealingmyluggage.blogspot.com/ **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.

Ok, you are right, and you make a persuasive case. > The only Coldplay song I even like a little is "The Scientist." "City of > Blinding Light" (which I truly hate) So weird, because I love "City of Blinding Light."It even has, on occasion, given me chills. I feel that U2 knows how to make a song truly *soar,* whereas Coldplay follows the essential blueprint, assembles all the pieces, pumps in the fuel, and so on -- only to stand back nervously as their clunky contraption sputters along the horizon between tribute and parody. It's not that they are merely ersatz U2 or faux Radiohead -- I think that Chris Martin *tries*, and I even *like* the guy -- I mean, he seems humble enough in interviews, and he's even remarked that he'll never be as good as Bono or Thom Yorke. He occasionally gives the impression of someone vaguely unnerved by his own success. For those reasons, I really cannot *dislike* Chris Martin the man, but I really do dislike his music. Rex writes, > I'm a little nonplussed by the vitriol, near-cellular or whatever, but I > assume it's held by people who hear too much Coldplay in the course of daily > life, and I'm not such a person. For my own self, my "vitriol" is mostly an affectation. I am more baffled by people who love Coldplay than anything else. I think because I love U2 and Radiohead so much, I tend to over-inflate my dislike of Coldplay. I suppose it's similar to when two people of opposite religions or politics can get along famously and argue civilly; but two people who believe just a little bit differently find a surprising amount of passion in their arguments.

I'm pretty sure that has to be one of the most parodied film clips on the Internet! I originally saw a version when HD-DVD capitulated to Blu-Ray, and Hitler was dubbed in as a Warner Brothers executive. My favorite version was circulated during the Democratic Primaries, where Hitler was dubbed in as Hillary Clinton freaking out at Mark Penn and company over her losses to Obama.

"Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." "Die, heretic!" I don't like Coldplay because they try so hard to be good and inoffensive. Plus, my brother - who used to display such impeccable taste in music - inexplicably likes them. But seriously, I'd happily listen to Coldplay rather than having fricking HippyChick stuck in my head.

Or kind of like the way the guy next to me in the tenor section in high school choir would go just the most infinitesimal bit sharp while I'd go just the littlest possible bit flat, and the whole choir would descend into absolute chaos. Our director obviously knew what was going on, but the group was large enough that he could never figure out who the culprit was. Good times.. My only experience of Coldplay was seeing them on The Daily Show. Seemed OK to me in a wavey, early-80s sort of way. Never been a big U2 fan, on the other hand. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2009 12:23:37 -0500 (EST) From: Christopher Gross Subject: Genesis of the Grammar Nazi and Coldplay On Thu, 26 Feb 2009, Sebastian Hagedorn wrote: > Probably it's just me, but I don't think those subtitled YouTube videos are > funny. It probably doesn't help if you speak German! That must make it hard to pretend that the subtitles are really what Hitler is saying. But regardless of language issues, this trope has been more than played out. It needs to end. (Still better than lolcats, though!) >> The actual movie, "Untergang" is really, really good. > > I avoided it. The reviewers I care about felt that it portrayed the "regular" > German soldiers in too positive a light, and trivialized the whole story, I've heard similar criticisms, about its portrayal of both the military officers and Albert Speer. These faults are real enough, I suppose, but didn't really hurt my appreciation of the movie. It's so narrowly focused on Hitler's last days that greater perspective wouldn't have fit. I guess the scriptwriters could have inserted lines like "Mein Fuhrer, I disobeyed your orders to destroy German industry before the Allies captured it; but on the other hand, I knew a lot more about the Holocaust than I'll admit later in my trial and best-selling memoir!" That would have made for more balanced history, but it would also have made for a worse film. Anyway, you shouldn't worry that anyone is whitewashed -- simply seeing that most of these generals and colonels and Albert Speers remain loyal until the last possible moment prevents that. Coldplay is like John Mayer. Neither one really bothers me as long as they're quietly playing in the background, but I can't pay attention to them. Their music just sort of slides in one ear and out the other without leaving much impression in between. I've heard two or three Coldplay albums in their entirety, more than once, but I can barely call two songs to mind. - --Chris ______________________________________________________________________ Christopher Gross On the Internet, nobody knows I'm a dog. chrisg@gwu.edu ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2009 12:36:46 -0500 From: Great Quail Subject: Re: Genesis of the Grammar Nazi Sebastien writesm > Probably it's just me, but I don't think those subtitled YouTube videos are > funny.
