... can you tell us something about the source?

Such a great idea!!!: Let's make history Keep clicking and downloading

That's interesting, though one third of members have never posted anything...I checked that last week.. It can be that they are just too shy or perhaps only use the site to find downloads.. I am not a top poster, either, but I do join the conversation sometimes when I have a little time... No.1600... ( and I joined in February)

Yes. Do you wear braces?

Well, I do have the right to tell my opinion, but I did not say that PW was crap. I simply stated (even before he started to bitch about Mika) that if I had to choose between contemporary classical music (which I normally don't like and at most I find it 'interesting'), and PW, I'd choose the first. I have heard about 4-5 songs from him, including the catchy Magic Position, but I believe he would have gone unnoticed with them if it hadn't been for his weird looks. PW might be 'interesting or different' but I'd still call him as an artist rather than a musician, and I don't think that being 'different' in itself is enough to call someone a groundbreaking musician - maybe an artist but not a musician

:welcomeani:

Apparently The Klaxons only sound good on record..

Well done, cover girls:thumb_yello:

Hmmm, it's definitely 70s sound, but I wouldn' say Queen... However, I checked their other stuff on Youtube and they perform Underpressure with Dan from the Feeling....obviously both bands love Queen.. And that just reminded me of a previous post on this site, claiming that the best song of The Feeling's gig was Radio Ga Ga.... ... and that must have come from a Queen fan, too :roftl:

Well, alright. I have said it on another thread but let me repeat: I’d rather listen to a modern classical music piece in which someone plays the piano wires with a ruler than listen to Patrick’s crap music again (I have tried both, so I can compare). :thumbdown: Who the hell does he think he is? 1., calling Mika overmarketed? Fact 1 – Marketing of Mika: The Mika ’phenomenon’ started on the radio and he did receive critical acclaim before the ’album push’ started – and here I only refer to silly stories like mentioning Mika’s possible collaboration with other Universal artists – so it obviously came from the record company. His first performances (Jools Holand, BBC, Virgin radio..etc) were mainly accoustic ones and you could feel the jaws drop in he audience when he was playing. Fact 2. – Marketing of Patrick Wolf: First time I heard of him was when Mika mentioned him... so I thought I’d better listen ’cause Mika must know what’s good... Well, I did and I wasn’t impressed... Then I received the mail from Mikasounds in which they recommended me to listen to Patrick Wolf – it was a colourful mail, so I thought perhaps they thought that Mika fans liked colours because I saw no other connection...Then I heard the LoveToday remix by PW and I remember thinking there must have been something wrong with the recording as there is no way Mika would play that ****, so I thought maybe Mika was just provoking people.. 2., being confused might make Patrick Wolf a respected ’artist’ in the eyes of many but being an artist is different from being a musician 3., PW is marketing himself by slagging of a popular and obviuosly talented musician who is not accepted by the indie crowd, in the hope that he will be accepted by the indie scene just because of doing this.... .. I must go back to work now...

At the same time it is such a great opportunity for him to promote LiCM in the US!! :thumb_yello: I am happy for him

I can confirm reading about it here and I can confirm that Brian May confirmed him and Roger appearing in the first/second week of August....but it won't be the same show and with Mika, you never know... He confirms and cancels, you know... :biggrin2:

Well, when it comes to explanations, I am not as good as lookovermyshoulder , but let me try: If you are in someone's bad books, for example, that means you are in disgrace or out of favour... ....so if you are OK in Brian's books, that means that you don't even need to take him Lindt chocololate, he will like you anyway.... :roftl:

Is it about astronomy in general or something special? Don't worry Violetsky. You are definitely OK in Brian's books as soon as he finds the spinning Red Special on Mikasounds ... :punk:

OK, he can still persude me live but I would only go if I had to sit through because of Mika.... Well, the Magic Position starts well - it's really like he was on a marry-go-round or something .. but I don't get his music and I will not force myself to like it, no matter how many e-mails I will get from Mikasounds into my mailbox about him...

You see, everyone here is good at geography... ...except for Mika, of course, because he quit his geography studies too soon... :naughty:

What potential fans???? I'd rather listen to Arnold Schoenberg or anyone playing the piano wires with a ruler than listen to Patrick Wolf... ..and I am not talking about the LoveToday remix.. I did check his songs on the net and I can't imagine any of Mika's fans becoming his fans as well, unless they collect pictures of marry-go rounds... :sneaky2:

...hmmm he can surely do better than TT. What about LiC WORLDWIDE sales? In Wikipedia, it says over 2.4 million but that's definitely not the latest update.... Mikasounds should be giving an update on a regular basis. at least for PR purposes..

Yes, although both A.W and TT albums were released last year, so their overall sales must be well ahead of Mika's..

So... I have deleted all the instructions and now it's only the letter to him. I'll go and 'post' message....

OK.. All behave now and stop talking about stalking M.A. :biggrin2:

Well, in 5 minutes I am going to change the first message on Mikasounds and send out the link to Brian's guestbook as well as his 'own' mailbox... Should I mention the Queeniac club here?

Hmmm. I didn't know The Killers liked Queen... I am definitely considering going to see them at the Sziget Festival on 14th of August (as Mika has cancelled his performance) I think performing We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions can be merely for reason of gaining popularity... However, if you open your concert with Flash Gordon, you are either a die hard fan of Queen or the movie... As for the influencers of The Killers, it's definitely Oasis... They acknowledged that too...

I'd LOOOOVE him to sing the TIME WARP !!!!! :roftl: :roftl:

He was too excited... :biggrin2: I bet some of these pictures will be in The Sun tomorrow...
