Alkoholfuelled

and is the best design by far.

1.5 gets extra points for boobies tho.

win - closer to my house = no £6 taxi to the bay

lose - barfly blah blah blah

I had the funniest weekend of my life... but then i had a free ticket, camped in the staff site (which was empty after most of them walked out on Saturday) and left before the rain came along on Sunday.

I haven't read all the comments, but in case no-one else has mentioned it; gallows were fucking amazing.

a little harsh, but mostly fair... I was disappointed as hell when i heard 'Empty Walls' and realised the album was just going to be filled with SOAD lite.

No need to confess to liking that first album though - its awesome.

The book is even listed on Amazon... i'm tempted to find a copy, it sounds fucking hilarious.

Really? Like, REALLY...?

Jesus.

if the tickets are decently priced this sounds like too much of a laugh to pass up...

about how much press this is geting, but if it works it'll be cool - kind of like a regression to the golden age of singles, when the kids all went crazy for their '45s...

maybe the rules are a little stricter over here and they're just doing it to get rid of the spare copies they have dotted around the company office.

It's possible the whole thing's a lie anyway, like I said it came from a kevin smith dvd.

damn

on one of Kevin smith's 'evening with' dvd's. He did the it in the states to guarantee that the cd would make it into the charts.

Apparently the scam is that the ticket comes free with the cd rather than the other way around - this makes it eligable for the charts and all that jazz... sneaky.

Nothing about this show seemed to click, it's a shame since the other times i've seen them they've been fantastic.

I get the feeling there's a clash of ideals going on; some of them look like they still want to do the 'dark & mysterious' image of their tours with isis & dillinger (when there was so little light and so much dry ice that you could barely see them), but other members look desperate to be seen - johannes throws more rock god guitar shapes every time i see them...

a 'big' announcement at their show on Monday 19th - for some reason this has got me fearing the worst...

and buy tickets for one of the european shows too. Amsterdam on Easter monday, £20 for tickets and £40 for flights... result :o)

Is three albums ago (not counting the one coming up) really that deep?

This interview makes me think Roe might be a bit of a dick.

meant to post about it in the forum but got drunk and forgot.

I'm having a really hard time understanding Universal's point - where is all this 'user stolen' stuff?

Of course, I'm only trying to find out so i can go on a shoplifting spree...

Bloody cape
Battle axe
When girls telephone boys
Minerva

If so, does anyone know if they were any good?

for a great album. A couple of my friends have complained that it's too commercial or not heavy enough, but I think it's just about perfect.

Even pink cellphone has grown on me since the filth got stripped away - it should still have been at the end of the disc though

I had tickets for the Cardiff show but went to Deftones instead... arse.

I'd just bought tickets for the show in Dec with Orange Goblin too

of the album floating around as a torrent now - its marked as 'retail' and doesn't have the filth at the end.

Which is good.

David Bellamy is clearly the man

'A Praise Chorus' by jimmy eat world in that list - another slice of happy genius

I was hoping this wouldn't get shouted about too loud - i want to be able to get those presale tickets tomorrow

Drank far too much at the Scala show in June and barely remember a thing about it... wont make the same mistake this time

is the funniest joke i've heard outta them - £30?! (Ok, £25 outside London)

So they open with 'fuck her gently' and close with 'tribute' - then what?

I'm gonna be laughing about that for hours

For a second i thought it said '4 Non Blondes' up there. It made me feel a little bit ill.

It needs an overhaul - that metal thing around the desk is a joke - but it's still a damn fine venue for the right bands (Down were awesome in May).

Oh, I guess the LA2/Mean Fiddler would go too...

According to wikipedia, KOKO holds 1500 people to the Astoria's 2000 - that sounds like a lot to me. Though given that they say the LA2 holds 1200 i'm not taking the figures as gospel
