December 23, 201311 yr I think you've missed a trick not calling this thread 'Little ThInc.s'. (don't worry, this is the last post I'll make in this forum :heehee:)
December 23, 201311 yr Author I think you've missed a trick not calling this thread 'Little ThInc.s'. We did actually consider that (as well as a few others; some daft, some not). :kink:

December 24, 201311 yr Author It's Louis' birthday today; wishing him all the best! :cheer: (despite being my least favourite member :ph34r:)
December 25, 201311 yr Author Merry Christmas everybody! Hope y'all are getting some nice 1D stuff when you wake up :kink:
December 25, 201311 yr It's Louis' birthday today; wishing him all the best! :cheer: (despite being my least favourite member :ph34r:) Why is he your least favourite member?
December 26, 201311 yr Author Why is he your least favourite member? Because he's just not got the same charm as any of the other members IMO. Even watching 'This Is Us' he was a bit bland in comparison (I did like him in that more-so than I did going into the film, however).
January 1, 201411 yr Author Happy new year everybody! :cheer: Not long now until another 1D album :kink:
January 9, 201411 yr Author The boys have received various nominations for this year's BRIT Awards! British Group Arctic Monkeys Bastille Disclosure One Direction Rudimental British Single Bastille - Pompeii Calvin Harris/Ellie Goulding - I Need Your Love Disclosure FT AlunaGeorge - White Noise Ellie Goulding - Burn John Newman - Love Me Again Naughty Boy FT Sam Smith - La La La Olly Murs - Dear Darlin' One Direction - One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks) Passenger - Let Her Go Rudimental FT Ella Eyre - Waiting All Night Apparently they are also rumoured to receive the 'Global Success Award' which recognises an act that has been successful internationally in the past 12 months, as well as Best British Video where fans can vote on the night of the awards! Fully expecting 'Best Song Ever' to be nominated, and all Directioners should be out in force :cheer:
January 9, 201411 yr Author In case you hadn't noticed, there are also two other potential nominations.
January 11, 201411 yr I'd be very surprised if they won Best Group, pop acts never really do. I'm still bitter from when Girls Aloud were nominated and ELBOW won. :manson:

January 11, 201411 yr It's probably a foregone conclusion that the Arctic Monkeys will win Best Group.
January 11, 201411 yr They won 'Global Success' last year so it would be a bit ridiculous if they won it this year as well, especially considering that it seemed as though the award was made up on the night.
January 16, 201411 yr A very interesting article I found on tumblr, more about music in general but he uses One Direction as his main example. IN ORDER OF most to least f***able, One Direction consists of five men who are over the age of consent named Harry, Zayn, Liam, Niall, and Louis. If you live in a naive bubble where commercial dance-pop simply isn’t on your radar despite the millions of albums they’ve sold and the billions of YouTube plays they’ve accrued, here’s what else you need to know: 1D is a ridiculously popular boy band from London, England, who perform catchy, tightly produced songs that somehow manage to be saccharine and nonthreatening as they taunt you with lyrics about how they’re going to plow your daughter. Yes, this impeccably marketed and well-choreographed song-and-dance machine probably sounds all too familiar to you. But here’s the thing: One Direction is actually quite incredible. Oh, sure, along with its music, there are apps, clothing lines, fragrances, and board games with the members’ handsome faces plastered all over them. But crass commercialism is part and parcel of any decent pop project. Andy Warhol once said: “Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.” Let’s hope these lads have another 15 minutes of fame left in them, because the empire they’ve built up in three years is awe-inspiring. Hell, I’m positive Warhol would even love their cover that mashes up Blondie’s “One Way or Another” and the Undertones’ “Teenage Kicks”. “Gee, that’s great,” he’d say. That pop music is vapid and lacking substance is an ignorant notion. Pop is the most interesting and culturally relevant music out there. Rock, EDM, and their multitude of indie subgenres are what’s moribund these days. I’ll happily give the latest One Direction album a play over some Bearhunter side project that was anointed a nine-point-whatever on a sycophantic music blog last week. Boy bands—from Hanson to NKOTB to the Rolling Stones—have always had a difficult time being taken seriously. That’s a damn shame, because they’re tackling real issues with their music, and it speaks on a global scale to young women dealing with their hormones. Most bands I catch are bar window-dressing who interrupt my important conversations. Have you ever seen the blissed-out expression on a Directioner’s face when they hear “What Makes You Beautiful” performed live? It stimulates a spiritual experience that’s more powerful than ayahuasca could ever give them. Appealing largely to women is a sure-fire way to never get the critical recognition you deserve. Plain and simple, it’s snobbishness that’s rooted in sexism. You see, music writing is overpopulated with annoying white dudes. (I’d know. I’m one of them and still curse my parents to this day because of it. Inconsiderate assholes.) At present, think tanks made up of our country’s biggest music nerds are busy heaping praise, awards, and novelty-size cheques on Arcade Fire, Feist, and Metric—basically the aural equivalent of a dogs-playing-poker poster. (And people wonder why the music and publishing industries are in the shitter.) While this is going on, timeless classics by Justin Bieber and Carly Rae Jepsen, which have the grandness and beauty of Jeff Koons sculptures, get ignored. A hundred years from now, I guarantee “Baby” and “Call Me Maybe” will still be around and making us smile. The mere mention of boring Cancon acts will get you banished to the Forbidden Zone where you’ll have to deal with cannibals. So have fun stroking your chins, making snide remarks, and being too cool to look like you’re having a good time in half-empty concert venues this weekend, f***ers. I’ll be at the One Direction show in a stadium full of people who are having the time of their lives. Hopefully, Harry notices me, but failing that, I’d settle for Louis. http://www.straight.com/music/403596/one-direction-great-art I don't think I've ever agreed with anybody more than this.
January 16, 201411 yr Author Wow, what a brilliant article! Such truth as well, especially in the last couple of paragraphs! I honestly hate it when someone automatically brands you "gay" or laughs at you, etc when you say / they find out you like One Direction. At least it's a love you can share with almost the whole world while the kind of music they listen to won't see the light of day because it's "too cool" to fall into the pop category.
