COPY HAHO - WRONG DIRECTION
October 24, 2009,
Written by Rob Evans
Label: Too Pure
Release date: Out Now!
Website: MySpace
Where the Scottish Rock of Frightened Rabbit and We Were Promised Jetpacks and the mathy pop of Calories and Tubelord collides, we find Copy Haho. Although they lack some of the spark and originality of their lazy comparisons above, they still manage to serve up a single stuffed with warmth, be it in the ever-pleasing Scottish accent of the vocals, the fuzzy melodies or the crunchy drums. There’s sing-along’s aplenty, and it’s all relentlessly pleasant and familiar.
Both A and B-side alike are very nice – lovely, even – as Demons And Gods follows the same formula in a perfect example of ‘If it ain’t broke...’mentality. This is good stuff, even if we have heard it all before. And there’s not much more that can be said.

This is absolute, unmitigated, GENIUS. Contender for my favourite video ever I think! Absolutely sick song too, prefer it to Ambling Alp fo sho. [view article]

Nirvana, mainly because they were over and done with before I was musically conscious so Dave Grohl couldn't ruin them for me by how intrinsically annoying he is. [view article]

We are including all his musical directions in the debate, which is why we're discussing whether he was better in Foo Fighters or Probot also. Facts are he is a better drummer than he is a guitarist or vocalist, and as we're debating which band he was best in rather than which band he made the best, he thus performed better in Nirvana and QOTSA. To repeat what some of the others have said, he's been good in Foos and had a lot of fame, but hasn't been nearly as influential or impressive as in the bands beforehand. [view article]

Sure, but since Grohl has played his hand at many different musical directions its important to include all of them in this debate in order to find out when he was at his best. Otherwise It'd be a debate about when he was the best drummer... For the record, I do think he's a really good drummer. But doesn't it take a little something away from QOTSA as a band and Grohl himself, if were just going to consider his one off involvement with the group as his crowning moment? I've always been a fan of that band, way before Grohl ever did SFTD with them and though he was a great addition, it's not like the album was carried on his drumming alone. QOTSA are an awesome band regardless of whether Grohl played with them or not. [view article]
