Talk:The Lucksmiths

message: Something about the Lucksmiths obsession with the weather could be added.  Think of all the bands that just have love songs and then think of all the ones that have songs about the weather - it makes the Lucksmiths that much more special.  Songs about the weather: t shirt weather, take this lying down, sandringham line, downside to the upstairs, from macaulay station, untidy towns.  Weather, seasons, and geography appear more than love in their songs!    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.38.154.129 (talk) 01:26, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Hold the phone. Saying The Lucksmiths use of language "defines clever lyricism" is way off base. First of all, two words (Bob Dylan), and, no music group defines clever lyricism at all, to the extent that they are a band and not an idea. What The Lucksmiths really are is a catchy indie pop band. I also deleted all of that stuff that was getting on the hagiographical- we don't need to say things like The Lucksmiths are "the least superficial" band in Australia- what the hell does that even mean? Also, let people form their own opinions of the band- that's right, all these adjectives you throw in is mere opinion. Release the pertinent information, but don't go on blessing them like they're the Second Son of Pop. Also, I changed the title "Songsmithing" because it is quite obviously trying to be cute; we can afford to be radically more professional when it comes to things like this.

message: I was the one who originally wrote much of the article. I was disappointed to see how 'messy' it had gotten. The Lucksmiths clearly have some passionate fans with passionate views and a lot of time on their hands. I have gone through the article and purged it of anything that I believe could make appear to be bias. Please correct anything in it that needs correcting.
* No, you just edited it back to the way it started. This is not a good article, and is barely in English at all. I wish I had time to fix it. "Referred to, played with and utilised", "with good cause and in support of a more simple point", "much fairer (and accurate) assessment"--these phrases tell us nothing. The grammar's horrible, too. It needs help. Fnarf999 22:17, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

message: A couple of editors raised the issue (through citation needed and deletion templates) whether The Lucksmiths are sufficiently notable for inclusion here. I did some research and came up with several articles in major newspapers that discuss the band, some of which are entirely devoted to the band. I added information from and citations to many of those articles. Additionally, the band's website has a section devoted to press clippings which shows that the band's albums have been reviewed by many other news sources, including The Sydney Morning Herald, Rolling Stone, Spin, Seattle Weekly, Pitchfork Media. I think notability is clear here, so I have removed the deletion tag. I also removed the citation needed template because I was able to find citations to support the assertion in question. [Disclosure: While I have never met the band, I am a fan and I have seen them live. And they were glorious!] -- But|seriously|folks  04:47, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
