plaid How come there isn't a Plaid sub-forum?

I never used to like them and now I do and I'd love to talk to people with similar experiences

go to a plaid forum then.

how come there isnt a beno sub-forum so we can just stick all his posts in that?

you can just talk about plaid here

can we have a watmm subforum plz

can we have sub-sub-forums?

a forum for each album by that artist and then further sub-sub-sub-forum for individual tracks.

take no notice

Shackbu came on and I though 'uuhhhh, what shit' but I couldn't find the skip button and by the time I did it had turned good and now I think it's awesome. Good story, huh.

weird. i'm .5 of plaid, btw. i was just testing you. thanks for listening to our music.

plaid is not one of the featured artists of watmm

how come plaid isn't a featured artist? let me guess . . . because there's no plaid sub-forum right?

cause joyrex says so! featured artists were around before artists subforums were

no it's because plaid sucks.

why do they suck? i think so too, but have never been able to put my finger on why.

the melodies are too flat

plaid are "meh"

*jots it down*

The actual reason is because Plaid has a decent Official Site:

http://www.plaid.co.uk/

I think it has a lot of stupidness about it but it knows it's stupid and ends up making the bits that aren't stupid even less so. New family, mmm.

my guess is its because plaid aren't very good

plaid have always received less love in the more purist electronic music circles. they are, however, quite possibly my favourite artists in the 'genre'.

i think it's because their skill and creativity lie not in making crunchy, wacky, never-before-heard sounds, but rather in their song construction, use of tempo, time signatures, and harmonic / melodic structure. more traditional innovation, rather than purely sonic exploration. when i first got into plaid i was just amazed by some of the transpositions and progressions they used - where certain notes almost seemed wrong but the resolution that followed made everything ok... perhaps a bit difficult to explain but i've always loved how they create music.

just my 'pinion.

there's something not quite right about the 'boo comforting a new poster.

not right at all.

i remember back on the old board there was a poll about this and plaid didn't get many votes. i think it's because plaid only released two decent albums whereas the other artists featured on this board have a slightly more impressive discography.

if there is one artist who we might need to consider to become one of the featured artists i think it's venetian snares. the man has some serious evidence at hand to claim his spot.
