Be Excellent To Each Other

For anyone confused about the lack of the single most important bit of information there, they're called The Utopia Strong.

It’s literally in the link, dude. Even non-members can see that, surely?

Only if you click said link.

Which I’d expect anyone who was interested enough to click one link to do so

What link?

Not really. Like 90% of the time or more that I am browsing Beex I don’t want to actually play music, or go on Spotify. It doesn’t seem crazy to think to mention it.

So you didn’t care that much to find out then. That’s fine

Why would you need to know the band's name, then? Absurd.

(for the avoidance of doubt, snooker's Steve Davis is NOT a member of notorious NSBM band Absurd, though that would be very funny.)

What a strange way to hold a conversation.

A: Steve Davis from the snooker is in a new band; I’ve sent you a link, give them a listen!
B: Sure, just not right now. What are they called?
A: I’m not telling you. You obviously don’t want to know.
B: I do want to know, I just don’t want to check them out right now.
A: No, you do not want to know this or you would have checked out the link I already sent you.

Madness.

You're thinking of Suggs.

Bruv, if you had asked, I'd have cheerfully told you. I mean, the most important piece of information there is that Steve Davis is in a band with someone from Coil, c'mon.

Either you'll process that information—Coil? The lads that done the soundtrack to the Gay Man's Guide To Safer Sex and the How To Destroy Angels thing with Marc Almond? That Coil?—and make at the very least a mental bookmark to have a look later, or you'll blankly pass over it with no regard for snooker, early industrial, or krautrock.

Besides, not putting the name in that post gives it an air of mystery, yeah? You can enjoy the thrill of discovering the name for yourself, savour it. Maybe pretend you're a wild journo for The Quietus or something.



I didn't know that! He's a man of many talents, that Steve.

If we were having a conversation, I’d agree, but you would have found out quicker and caused others less effort If you’d just clicked the link than to ask and then wait for a response. It’s just sad how lazy people have become.

What’s the name of the band then?

Interesting

Might not be, i'm not clicking one link.

That’s not what happened, though. It was:

A: Steve Davis from the snooker is in a new band; I’ve sent you a link, give them a listen!
B: They’re called _______ by the way
C: People could just click the link
D: But why should they? What if they don’t want to click the link
E-Z: repetition of most of the above.

Z should clearly have been "Get a 360".
