Hi guys. Fat gEORGE cLOONEY.
What do you consider "Sad Bastard Music," i.e., when the Jack Black character attacks the other shopworkers/customers over liking Radiohead?
Hi. Sometimes I think The Smiths can be lumped into this category, hah... and private loner folk?
hi

ps: Bun B claims to blast Radiohead in one of the vehicles he owns in the latest issue of Scratch (with Nas and Primo on the cover)
pps: I kind of like The Smiths and Radiohead and most "Sad Bastard Music." Hate me now.

YES
excellent
does she/he like depeche mode?
how about erasure?
Erasure is not very sad bastard though. Joy Division anybody?
hi
serge gainsbourg sounds like a frenchmen overtaken with ennui.
bob dylan
do u like elliot smith?
defamer.com better not slip in 2k6
to answer your question, yes
at least I don't like Belle and Sadbastian (that much)
However I am liking "The Artic Monkeys",two good singles, no LP yet and a great name as well...
For this I can't wait to recomend Edith Frost's calling over time. It will emotionally melt you after a break up.
I thought he called the music "Sad Bastian music"
Because they were listening to Belle and Sebastian.
note: I could be completly wrong.
Hells yeah.
This album is a sad bastard music classic.
New-jack SBM = Gravenhurst? "Black Holes in the Sand" EP is great.
Low? Codeine?
she likes Joy Division because that's the original sad bastard emo crap. Oh, actaully, I like it too. DM & Erasure? Unspeakably sad. Like Marc Almond and Trent Reznor.
low
red house painters
slint probably qualifies
bedhead (tx represent)
Trent Reznor has his moments, but I mostly think of his body of work as "Mad Bastard Music" lol.
Erasure? Yah, I guess it is kind of tragically sad like "oh woe is me, together forever braek the chains of love."
Re sad bastard music; Has anyone checked Shutdown 66 released by Norton or something in the 90s? Makes all those British groups sound like a wee happy tea party on a sunny afternoon in Brighton!
Also Nick Cave and Serge sing about sodomy and murder too much to be lumped in the "sad bastard" category IMO.
I always thought the 'sad bastard' stuff to be shat upon was the 22-year-old shoegazer indie rock, which is overly twee and sensitive and just plain sacless... TRUELY sincere emotive music like Nick Drake deserves to be lumped under a different category altogether
