So apparently this is track of the year? NME thread, pt.2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poFXWUTEs1k
So in all fairness I expected to hate that and I didn't; it was decent, flimsy and enjoyable. But an utterly bizarre choice for track of the year from NME, right? I mean, tracks like that were ten a penny circa 2002-2005, it's baffling.
Is there really such a dearth of British rock bands that they have chosen to latch onto what sounds like a poorly recorded Paddingtons B-side? These poor kids aren't going to make it too far without imploding, surely?
Odd.

What a surprise that Palma Violets are at number one.
“Forrest Bump”
freudian slip if i ever saw one
Apparently the bassists name is Chilli Jesson
Chilli
Jesson
it's probably Charles Jesson-Bootharoyd III
not that it matters WHATCLASSAREYOUTHREAD etc.
of course NME are gonna love that song though, they've got almost the exact same aesthetic as the Libertines with that dual frontman thing and that scruffy indiepunk production. Despite that though it's a catchy chorus. I know people hate Savages on here and yeah they're not AMAZING by any stretch but I would rather NME push them than a bunch of teenage boys yet again.
God that's awful
it's alright
quite enjoyed listening to it once
I like the organ.
That's it though. And if I want good organ work i'll probably just put Bows + Arrows on or something.
There's a band called 'Good Music'
ffs
:D

JUST GOOD MUSIC
GOOD MUSIC
GOOD HAIRCUTS.
Never heard it before.
Quite like it. Obviously not the track of the year but it's hardly terrible.
It's surprisingly catchy, actually.
This, live front row at The Joiners, Southampton
Best live experience of the year, trumping The Cure at Reading and even Radiohead in Manc
