Christmas number one odds slashed, Editors singer disses Nizlopi

But I thought that the X Factor song was already guaranteed number one due to the amount of pre-orders that the shops have made? I read that somewhere. I like reading. Well, sometimes

"If people realised that it's a load of tosh that they'll get fed up with in less than two weeks, then they could save themselves a load of bother"

If only he told me that before I purchased the Editors album :(

Is it not a little rich for a man who earns his keep by regurgitating the same moody new wave drivvel that normal people tired of about 15 years ago, to talk about someones music becoming boring? What a twat. That Nizlopi song is immense. Nothing wrong with optimism ;)

I heard that Nizlopi song the other day. Completely not bothered about it. My dad likes it though because "You get a couple of days like that sometimes". He likes the idea of sitting on a JCB with your dad*. Bless.

*Not YOUR dad, obviously he wouldn't know him from adam. Although saying that I don't think grandad's ever owned a JCB... :S Oh dear I'm confused.

...is banging on about things not lasting?

Ho ho. Wait and see where your Joy Division tribute band are in 2007, Bowman-porker.

What is with Nizlopi not being liked by people on here?

I couldn’t believe the comments on the last article.

Ok you think it is not the greatest piece of musical work ever, but surely you would prefer an act that has some musical integrity to be successful.

If you care that artists write there own songs (not that that should matter) go with Nizlopi. If you want the money to go to a small independent label who develop acts rather than essentially a huge electronics corporation who just buy everything then you should go with Nizlopi.

Ok Hate the track but surely you can’t say that it is worse than the awful track that Shayne Ward is putting out or the Girls Aloud tune.

It may be the better of three evils but it is defiantly the better.

Has anyone here heard any of Nizlopi other stuff before making your mind up for? June is a really incredible piece of work.

I doubt any of that matters, but it’s an independent cause worth being hated for.

It's an irritating song that appeals to over-sentimental dads going through a mid-life crisis.

Is the JCB song even a christmas song? Does it contain the word christmas or any generally festive sentiments anywhere? I can't believe that the JCB song was written with christmas in mind.

I'm dissing him not because he doesn't like it because that's fine and I'm not a fan of them having seen them live. Am dissing him because he slags off the sound of their record when all the production values of the record are VERY similar to his own probably aided by the fact he's got the same producer (it says so on both cds). Makes me realise he ain't all that as a musician though editors did make bullets sound like coldplay when they used to be called snowfield but probably only those of us that live in Brum know that

Nizlopi (with their JCB juggernaut) have been around for aggggges now. They released that song as a single earlier in the year. They released their album ages ago (with JCB on). They even released that album ages and ages before that (with JCB on - I'm talking years now here) and that was before their signed a publishing deal, the record was re-packaged and re-issued with that comp. They turned down some big deals and kept it on their own label. I think if people read up on em they will see that a) it's not an xmas song and b) they had a massive following by word of mouth pre JCB release and most of those fans probably liked them for their stuff that is really quite different from JCB. It shows how silly some people (including those in bands :p) can be.
