DiS gets big-up from The Guardian

It's not everyday you wake up, grab the Saturday Guardian and get struck in the face by such a nice review...

If you read The Times or something, and missed it, here're the kind words what they said in The Guide...

Drowned In Sound
Search Google for some impossibly obscure indie rock band that only formed three weeks ago and the results will inevitably lead you to this webzine - whose four year existence makes it something of a veteran in the cut and thrust world of next big thing prediction. The news on the site is great, with tip top pre-release info, and the reviews and profiles are just the right side of rabid. Plus fans of free music will discover downloads galore. But the best bit is the ranty community on the message board discussing such burning topics as "is it OK to like Belle & Sebastian?", the current Bravery versus Killers bitch-fight and making sarky remarks about Razorlight.

It is archived online here

Razorlight smell of wee and they drink wee and then they bathe in wee and use it to wash their cars and water their plants with wee and then fill their Super Soakers with wee and spray each other down with WEE.

Just the way he sings with no music in the background at the end and his voice ,(for want of a better word), cracks

Re: DiS gets big-up from The Guardian

or was that 'Mr' an inadvertant slip to the true identity of DiS News? It's you isn't it?

I feel like Jim Bergerac... without the burgandy car. Mine's black. And a Renault Clio.

I don't live in Jersey either.

Yeah...I really enjoy listening to pointless wannabe strange lyrics about being a cuckoo.

For anyone who has read The Invisible Republic by Greil Marcus - well done. I got as far as some nonsense about a cuckoo. It is a bird which steals it's own eggs or something.

And what has a bird that steals its own eggs got to do with a pointless piece of crap called Smell and Sebastadan?

Re: DiS gets big-up from The Guardian

Whats wrong with being a cuckoo? I'm a cuckoo. Now I have my very own song thanks to Belle and Seb. I love them in a cuckooish kinda way (yes thats right, when one of them makes a nest and lays some eggs, im gonna roll my own little baby in there and it will grow up to be a fake Belle. Or maybe a fake Sebastian. Mwahahahahahahahahaaaa!)
Ahem. Congrats on the review DiS.

Michael Bolton washes his hair in wee. His mum told me he learnt it from Turin Brakes when he stayed over their house the night and they pissed the bed. True story.

Belle and sebastian

i no i should be sacastic but i really can't be bothered, so basically for anyone who doesn't like belle and sebastian, i geuss it shows you have a shit music taste, where as people who do like them, you clearly probably do have a good music taste, end of.
