oh and
songs of 2005 surely? As there's only been one Monday's lot of releases in 2006.
terry christain
is a cock
'Appen
Blindess was the best Fall song from last year - and that whole NEw ROder album was worse than terrible
what?..
no Land Ahoy? or Former Bullies? or Beecher? this is a bad list. top 20 manchester somnambulist songs.
We
love yourself.
Elbow
Are fucking ace, and so is that song. Speaking of lists, have DiS abandoned the idea of a best of 2005 album list then?
dunno
it's lingering in the editorial queue whilst the staff argue about how predictable it is (guess where 'Funeral' came...)
Hmm
I'd agree with the first, ninth and sixteenth. The rest can all jump off Urbis as far as I'm concerned.

Re Thommo's list: Aren't Fleeing New York from Southampton?
I may be wrong however, but I'm sure I read that somewhere
i believe he was referring to...
......the last of Mr Diver's article.
fleeing new york are still ace though, no matter where they come from! 'here i stand' by them could also be a standout southampton track from 2005. lovely little acoustic number, which is not at all like them.
that should've said last line
up there
!
No Oceansize? No Amplifier? shocked!
Though kudos on Elbow at number yes, tis correct.
Help! She Can't Swim are from Southampton right? And Scarlett Letter Union? And They Don't Sleep? All good...
Broke n English
is the worst band name I've ever heard.
Yes they are
and yes they're good. i didn't say i'd finished, hehe...
Liam Frost
Lisa Brown are slightly amiss and i think an honourable mention should be made for Liam Frost... perhaps he'll be in there this year.
good point
well put.
Re.
That's why I asked.
My Southampton top whatever...
1. Birdpen - A round of applause for a great disaster
2. The Sways - The call of the bear
3. Rival Joustas - Clarity
4. Tri-City President - They went insane
5. Cathode-Ray Mission - Stendhal Syndrome
