the magic numbers

aren't looking so morbidly obese these days

They

exist.

Radiohead

They...had that nice song about androids that time.

The fucking cunts.

Johnny Borrell

does well to keep those jeans clean

There may be a Nickelback fan who

isn't a tweenager or redneck. There.

there is!

It's my boss. He plays the album at ork repeatedly. It's arse wrenchingly bad.

*work

he doesn't play it at orks.

Wow. Wasn't expecting

That to come true. Play Test Icicles at work to scare him.

I imagine orcish hordes would be repelled

by a man sporting a mullet and a cowboy hat.

The Hoosiers

The singer wasn't as deeply irritating as I'd have expected. Still a massive cunt though.

^

Zoolander

Scouting for Girls

have never broken into my car.

i've been laughing like a bastard

for five minutes at this ^

The Fall

have some very good lyrics.

Dear every single band in London

You're all really original and brilliant.

Jamie T

Well, I didn't manage to find out your postcode after all in 2007 - here's to 2008...

Kenicke

well......

I can't do it. Lauren Laverne is a cunt.

.

Feeder. Well, its encouraging to see that the mentally disadvantaged are being accepted & integrated into the community. Good on 'em.

Cleopatra

came from Moss Side and to my knowledge, have never shot anyone.

Jonny Borrell

has a big squiffy wiffy lovely soft nose!

...

George Pringle: U R fit. I would do u, with or without Sean's permission.

liars

quite entertaining live

The Bluetones

do look smart

iLiKETRAINS

Well, at least they appreciate history.

Kings of leon

win some of my respect when their record company asked them to shave off all their facial hair so as too apeal to the more aesthetically inclined market. In responce to this they grew hench beards! brilliant

Jamie Cullum

can play the right notes on a piano.

The Twang

..used to bottle HP Sauce for a living so they can't be all bad.

You'd never know

how the wonderfully talented jazz hobbit could attract a beaty like Sophie Dahl.

Rosa Fears

wrote me a nice note on myspace requesting I stop slagging off their band on DiS. I still dislike them immensely and laughed at the thought of them 'jay and silent bob'ing everyone that's witnessed them and thought they were shit, and then were amazed that, after seeing them three times, they have finally entertained me...!

the beatles

had some ace beards

The Runners

Come from a lovely town.

Johnny Borrel isn't short!

Bono use to write good songs!
Nicky Wire rhymes with fire!
Queen don't make music anymore!
The View are from Scotland!

a bit of both....

actually they are all facts.

The drummer from New Young Pony Club

would get it

Reverend and the Makers

Try very hard

^this one made me

lol!

The Others

were ace at smoking crack.

Bloc Party aren't as bad as John_Brainlove say they are.

It's just not possible.

Kate Nash

would look good with alopecia.

Coldplay

It's great that Chris Martin has decided his kid should never eat meat.

James Blunt

has inadvertently provided extra material for the dictionary of cockney rhyming slang.

haha

To be fair he's pretty into the whole self mockery thing.

James Blunt

understands why I feel the way I do about him.

The Manic Street Preachers

most people liked them...

The Battles' drummer is awesome

What a waste.

^ this

and Ian Williams was great in Don Caballero

The Courteeners

don't go in for emotional string-laden power ballads.

Interpol

are very good at standing totally still on stage!

lolz

this is so true

the guy from nickelback

makes a nice risotto.

How do you know that

please?

i have no evidence to back this up

it's a hunch. (coincidentally, the guy from nickelback does have a hunched back)

Interesting...

But how do you know THAT?

from looking

big hunchback jesus-a-like

The Feeling

aren't Scouting for Girls

i actually quite like that first The Feeling song

it has a nice chord progression.

Tracy is hot and has the clap

contains very smiley, enthusiastic band members.

Kasabian

did a lot for the sales of militaria following the promo for that crap one they wrote (I actually don't know its name).

The Stone Roses

were considerate enough to split up.

controversial......

although I am kind of with you on that one!

Little Man Tate

Did well to release an album

^ lol

at the little man tate

This Ain't Vegas

Got booked to support Deerhunter.

the enemy

aren't as ugly inside as they are outside

Rofl Harris

I dunno... they do strike me as being quite bitter. Maybe because of the looks that life had dealt them.

death cab for cutie

have never deliberately killed any household pets...as far as i know

Sufjan Stevens has a nice name,

Elliot Smith shares his first name with the kid out of ET, and Bob Dylan has the same first name as me.

a first ^^

I have never come across someone who actively dislikes Elliot Smith before

...

That's weird. As he is so objectively shit.

Keane

have never shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die. Or in Argos.

The Pigeon Detectives

are more than likely not currently defrauding the state with fictitious benefit claims.

Pete Wentz

has a fine body

led zep

had an incredible drummer. so did the who and jimmy hendrix experience.

All this talk of drummers

...Def Leppard had the funniest drummer to watch

The Twang

would beat me in a fight.

I would piss on Chumbawumba

if they were on fire.

I really enjoyed

Klaxons' Mercury acceptance 'speech'

axl rose

those dreads look well sick

Newton Faulkner...

..has never covered Massive Attack. Wait a minute....

Jack penate.

is probably a nice person

Johnny Borrell

invented yoghurt and can cure most minor ailments with his healing, healing hands.

That bloke from Maximo Park

can get away with wearing a bowler hat.

He wasn't

when I saw him backstage at a gig recently. Coked-up arse.

Oops

that was in reply to the Jack Penate one

Also Jack Penate

...has bad personal hygine, he stinks!

(or at least he did when I saw him in Rough Trade - watching someone else's instore)

Jack Penate

is a really great dancer

razorlight

are still accepted into most pubs in london

Good Charlotte

are a band of great substance.

i would hesitate

before smacking orson in the face

I Would Jump In

and attempt to stop you during your moment of hestitation.

Brandon Flowers

is probably not a sex pest.

Plain White T's

are not terrorists.

jamie t

is young enough to jack it in,
make a fortune in a new career,
buy back all his CDs
and make a massive massive pile,
put Tom Vek and Conor McN on top,
and make with the matches and feel the weight lift from his shoulders

true about interpol, wot they said above, playing statues again is it?

Foo Fighters - Cheer up, 'Everlong' is alright.

Jamie T - has a nice house
Calvin Harris - uhhhhh thumbs up for effort.

Haha

"has a nice house" I like Jamie T and that made me laugh.

He does

have a nice house, he rents half of it out to the Williams sisters during Wimbledon tennis fortnight. His grandma is a 'Lady'...that's just how street he is.

whats wrong with tom vek?

you shit

Actually

Yes, Tom Vek was/is awesome

i no shit

he shit
he fucker
he dog
he selfish cunt

Mariah Carey

Is turning into the live acton Jessica Rabbit

oooh

sequel now

zeppelin:

aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Bloc Party

I like Pioneers.

Radiohead's video for 'Just'

is amazing.

That's the one

no one knows why he's there, then when he tells them they all lay down, but we don't know what he says. Good video.
Shit band.

Eh, they're pretty special to me.

But then this is the bitching thread, so... Kate Nash is fine!

the enemy

can grow hair quite long

the courteeners

are actually damn good live.

U2...

....are probably really friendly people deep down and they just need a wee bit of help musically *typed with clenched teeth*

Enter Shikari...

managed to create one song I can listen to (Johnny Sniper) without laugh...well, no, I still laugh at it, but I like the song.

According to the other thread

Morrissey is gay.

Bruce Springsteen

Owns some quality jeans.

The Manic Street Preachers

taught me so much about how bad the world is, particularly the UK government so i now know that if there is any more tolerating of "this" then my children will be next.

Thanks guys.

The Horrors

have a good taste in music.

HAUDOKEN!

do understated casual with aplomb!

Aiden

have an interesting dress sense.

Jamiroquai

all went to normal schools.

Travis's bassist...

...didn't use to bully me at school.

James Dean Bradfield

has a good voice.

The Cribs

Actually seem like quite amusing blokes.

erm

Lamb are named after my 4th favourite type of meat.

Jamiroquai can drive quite fast.

Black eyed peas made me laugh once when the botox lady pissed herself on stage.

The Horrors are from southend on sea, and although it's a shitehole I feel a genuine affection for the place.

Audioslave hold the world speed record for their descent in goodness > from Cochise to Track No.2 on their debut. Awesome to Cack in under a second. Impressive stuff.

The Libertines make lots of other people happy, and gave something for tabloid journalists to write about for a while.

Joss stone is fit.

Scouting For Girls

Probably have a song on their album which sounds different to the previous one.

I'm sure they didn't get their name from the book "Songwriting for Girl Scouts", which they obviously didn't read before writing their non-formulaic, groundbreaking songs; which incidentally don't make me want to slowly slice off my ears with a sheet of paper, then pour caustic soda into the holes in the side of my head, seal them up with gaffa tape and then go bungee jumping to make sure said caustic soda reaches every part of my brain, so it will dissolve quicker and put me out of my fucking misery with haste.

Scouting for Girls,

unlike many CDs I'd been given to review before, gave me plenty to write about. Incidentally, that review basically read as a summary of what everyone's said about them earlier on this thread.

i'd rather

have a pint with James Blunt than Jeremy Clarkson

The Horrors...

The Horrors...
The Horrors...
...err...
...
...
Have shown us all that a lack of ability isn't inhibitive for a musical career?

Nickleback came to play a concert near me

providing entertainment for the many simpletons in the area. Good on them.

panic! at the disco

Were brave enough to play Reading a second time.
Soulja Boi spells his name in a way that is mildly humourous.

I like everyone,

so this should be easy. The twangs music is alright even if I don't like their lyrics.
bleeding love has something to be said, in that at least you remember it( and it's quite fun to make fun of)
17 year old girls singing deep love songs (I'm talking to you, laura marling) are an inspiration to try harder.

Hard Fi

Have stopped people going "Oh that's where Ali G is from" when I say I'm from Staines.

Then again, are Hard Fi any better!?

the plain white tees...

...have never fashioned their widely renowned clean torso garments into hoods and hunted down the brother from another mother in the deep south and burnt curcifixes.

but they have peeped on a girl from her wardrobe if that parody's anything to go by.

I guess

Brandon Flowers grew some facial hair...

george pringle

is an astute post modern poet-although some might suggest that here irony is code for shit-those people are wrong. She is a wry wise wordsmith who could even write something mildy ok next year.

Maximo Park

Had one listenable song.

Muse

have earned a lot of money from songs that sound the same.

Matt Bellamy

is marginally less hateful than Fred West

joe lean and the jing jang jong

are the best band in the world and the saviours of music!

Never As Tired As When I'm Waking Up

sounds like The Beatles or summink.

Listening to Kasabian

would be okay if I was off my tits at a disco peopled with men with bad haircuts holding beer cans near their faces while doing a loping monkey dance.

The Red Hot Chilli Peppers

sountracked my first ever experience of getting drunk. *sigh*

Also, they spawned a Scottish rock-cover playing tribute band called the Red Hot Chilli Pipers.

Mika

Has interesting hair
