I think of bvdub as the swaggering thug of modern ambient, he just drops record after record of variations on the most visceral yearning swoon I've ever felt.
dude, it's just a joke, chill ahaha. and 1. i dont hate sarcasm / irony; 2. i understand your point, i hate a lot of shoegaze for the same reason. actually i feel what you feel with a lot of bands that people love.
My username is actually a homage to Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law. The character Dvd is an efficiency expert and removed the vowels from his name to save time. The fact that David is also my name is merely a coincidence.
By the way, I'm not kidding about the "nasty look when you try to diss The Beatles" thing. There's this kind of insane adoration for the band in Italy that is probably worse than anywhere else. If you try saying something bad about The Beatles, you'll be shut down in mere seconds. And the worst thing is, most of my "musical" friends and acquaintances are Beatles fans, so there came a point where I just started pretending I actually don't mind 'em.
It is lame but I kinda like the theme song unironically. I'm just waiting to be able to add it to RYM so I can give it a rating and show how shitty my taste really is :P
Yeah, I guess so... It's like some kind of "Beatles mass hysteria", if you will.
Sure, I'll throw a bunch of Italian artists suggestions at your general direction. I'm a bit short on time so I'll send you a PM in the next few days. In the meanwhile, let me know if you're looking for music of specific genres/time periods.
