Love Is A Chain Store

[SquishedButterfly]

Beethoven's fifth meets Transvision Vamp. Hope this band goes on to do tons. Great song. Noble sentiment. What more do you need?

As for the question 'where are the protestors?' Answer: Like all alternatives, they've been stigmatised and quarantined by the media.

The Ropes are the best!

[ekolke]

Just amazing! The Ropes RULE!

@_@ es casi igual!

The Ropes-Love is a Chain Store.

The Ropes are genius. Smart, innovative, real. Maybe too real for you. Singer Sharon Shy’s voice and The Ropes music have been haunting me for years and years. The Ropes music absorbs you while you absorb it. Their music follows me home. I hear Sharon’s voice when I’m working. I hear it in my dreams. Obsessive. Absolutely. Who can blame me when the work is this good? One listen and you are a fan for life.

Great song! Great band!

[BorderlineBroken]

Hmm, low-key and addictive. At times her voice reminds me of Nico...

[DoloresDelerious]

Nicos grand kid lol

[ekolke]

MinoryCelebrityTwo is right! The Ropes are the coolest and "Love is a Chain Store" is just amazing. One of the greatest bands you will ever ever ever hear.

I loved them first! Way before it was cool. And I found and discovered them because I'm better than doing that than other people. I'm just really good at finding things that are cool. I don't need other people to tell me what good music is. I have my own unique taste that is better than other people's taste. It's just like how I liked Old Navy before it was cool to like Old Navy and same with Best Buy and shit.

@MinorCelebrityTwo i lold

[girldrinkcoffee]

@MinorCelebrityTwo haaa. diiiick.

[pacheco420]

@MinorCelebrityTwo Your an idiot. Old navy is for preppy douche bags. It was never cool to like Old Navy, and it sure as shit isn't cool now. What in the hell does Old Navy or Best Buy even have to do with The Ropes anyway? How about you use your excellent taste to tell me what my balls taste like. Pretentious Khaki-Bitch

[MinorCelebrityTwo]

@pacheco420 Old Navy and Best Buy have absolutely nothing to do with "Love is a Chain Store." Satirizing the way people crow about finding new bands first has nothing to do with The Ropes. And your name has nothing at all whatsoever to do with a cute little yellow Pokemon character.

[pacheco420]

@MinorCelebrityTwo Alright, Alright. I think I've digressed into unproductive territory, and you've taken the high road, so lets try again. However, you do come off very self- righteous, conceited and pretentious with statements like "I'm better than doing that than other people. I'm just really good at finding things that are cool." Your post didn't not seem at all sarcastic or satirical. Furthermore, the lyrics are intended to be ironic, not a literal comparison to corporate America.

[pacheco420]

@MinorCelebrityTwo And no...not Pikachu. It's "Pacheco" = "Pothead" in Spanish.

I'm 28 years old, ergo, I've never even seen an episode of Pokemon...

[dinoexgoesxrawrr]

@pacheco420 Hey there, this person was making fun of hipsters.. but that's an obscure word that you've probably never heard of. loloololol

[TheShaneShow]

@MinorCelebrityTwo good for you

[robojohnny]

@MinorCelebrityTwo i was the first one to discover my penis.

[micaelaminombre]

@MinorCelebrityTwo

you sound rather hipster don't you?

[sssstevo]

@MinorCelebrityTwo fukin lol man :P nice one xD

[SquishedButterfly]

@MinorCelebrityTwo are you hamming up the egotism for comic effect or what? tell me you're not completely sincere in your self love? that'd be way too much.

[MinorCelebrityTwo]

@SquishedButterfly You got me. Iz just trollin' hipsters. But I do <3 The Ropes.

[mariomoran33]

it changed  my life

[tsadyan00]

hey thanks! great upload! could you upload their song "addicted to morals" here! :)

[mariomoran33]

great!

[Chierushi]

Meh, not one of their best.

Try "Professional Outsiders" or "I Don't Like to Get Dirty"

[brilliantfranz]

Im afraid is not time until one shitty movie or TV series uses this song,

Then will see all the comments fulls of : ohh I love this I watched it on twatlight or something

[jasonthunderpants]

Fantastic. It reminds me of the 80's Indie groups

[peligraso]

heard it also on NME radio. an official video would be nice.

[hmhb1]

Sound a bit like The Organ

[bishopvilleunited]

Reminds me of Fischerspooner.

[MrWonka73]

heard them as well on NME radio ...and the girl sounds like Nico when she sang with the Velvet Underground.

[SleepingEyesOpenUK]

Heard it on NME too! When that bass line kicks it off I so go straight to the Pixies; but ain't a bad thing!

Really enjoy the lyrics too, love the anti-capitalist vibe!

[iangas]

i've just heard this song on nme radio ! man it's fucking brilliant !

[zelaznogeidde]

this song is badass

[MrUnicyclist10]

Wow, I love this song! I do believe I will spend tomorrow after school finding more of their songs.

[RaverTrash]

[ekolke]

It is great. The Ropes are one of the greatest bands I have ever heard. The music gets better with every listen. Amazing stuff.

-Eric Chicago

[nafta1ina]
