    • oh

      dear.

      BobbyGrindrod @Emmi_London_Girl | 27 Nov '07, 19:46 | X
  • The best thing about this

    is the pictures that illustrate the current top three stories on the music minisite front page: Winehouse, Doherty, Grindrod.

  • I'm chuffed for you, sir.

    I'm also pretty shocked at your age. I thought you were in your midlate 20s. You don't look a day over 26.

    wrightylew | 27 Nov '07, 19:51 | X
    • Oh.

      I thought it said you were 32 in the article! :(

      wrightylew @wrightylew | 27 Nov '07, 19:51 | X
      • I thought I was 32

        after reading it, too! Lucky my passport was handy.

        BobbyGrindrod @wrightylew | 27 Nov '07, 19:53 | X
        • It is, to be fair

          the most accurate he's been about a DiSser's group, at least compared to http://music.guardian.co.uk/newbands/story/0,,2013855,00.html

          simon_t @BobbyGrindrod | 27 Nov '07, 19:59 | X
  • Nice.

    Don't understand why he's dissing 'Grindrod' but any publicity is good publicity, right?

    MirriLondon | 27 Nov '07, 19:55 | X
  • Excellent.

    What will you be changing your name to then?

    art_vandelay | 27 Nov '07, 19:55 | X
    • Mike Flowers

      -=sigh=- :(

      BobbyGrindrod @art_vandelay | 27 Nov '07, 20:02 | X
      • Good stuff!

        But, to be honest guys Bobby, you're no Craine.

        Alex-in-Ciderland @BobbyGrindrod | 27 Nov '07, 20:03 | X
        • Guys, Bobby...I just didn't know which to run with.

          .

          Alex-in-Ciderland @Alex-in-Ciderland | 27 Nov '07, 20:03 | X
      • GRRRR!

        With respect, it still annoys me that Mike Flowers is even mentioned. It shows a distinct lack of imagination... I just can't remember Mike ever doing a song like our new single...

        BobbyGrindrod @chris-budget-part-II | 27 Nov '07, 20:20 | X
        • No.

          That was your poster. Remember?

          BobbyGrindrod @chris-budget-part-II | 27 Nov '07, 20:32 | X
          • HIYA!

            yes_ @chris-budget-part-II | 27 Nov '07, 20:55 | X
          • May I suggest,

            Bobby Hotrod?

            No? Ok then.

            art_vandelay @BobbyGrindrod | 27 Nov '07, 20:27 | X
            • I like you!

              You've heard of Mark Murphy!

              This coverage is only on the website I think. The only other national newspaper stuff has been The Times and their infamous 'nu-croon' label.

              Music Week applauded the fact that I wasn't afraid to 'veer towards crooning'. I don't call it crooning anyway. I call it 'singing'.

              • good news

                apart from the Mike Flowers part !

                lyle | 27 Nov '07, 20:45 | X
                • Never 'eard of them

                  London bands pfffft!

                  See you tomorrow

                  prole-art-threat @lyle | 27 Nov '07, 21:33 | X
              • ...

                "If this was 1982 they'd have been on the Compact label; had it been 1987, they'd have been on él. A bit retro, a lot recherché, they're positively Proustian, daddio."

                You're the enemy now, Robert.

                Stealthy | 27 Nov '07, 21:39 | X
                • I think he's saying in 1982

                  they'd be Blue Rondo a la Turk and in 1987 they'd be Matt Bianco. A bit unfair but they beat The National ANY day

                  prole-art-threat @Stealthy | 27 Nov '07, 21:43 | X
                  • this is the best band

                    i've seen on there

                    http://music.guardian.co.uk/newbands/story/0,,2153374,00.html

                    and i'd like to point out that sweeping the nation is a most excellent blog, if only because they seem to give us a really good review for the summer sundae warm up parties....

                    adblack @prole-art-threat | 28 Nov '07, 08:31 | X
                    • So who's going tonight?

                      prole-art-threat @adblack | 28 Nov '07, 11:45 | X
              • Congrats!

                Royter-Hatfood | 28 Nov '07, 11:47 | X
                • Hurrah indeed

                  Good work Grindrod!

                  Does anyone have a contact email for Paul Lester btw?

                  Moscow2 @Royter-Hatfood | 28 Nov '07, 11:51 | X
                  • Congratulations!
