well

as long as he's TAPPING HIS FOOT it'll all be ok

who's going?

I'm going! :D Well, to a few of the club gigs anyway (festival passes cost an arm and a leg)

hahahahahaa

god bless guitarists in big capes.

when I saw them

they had a massive singalong/playalong/jam with 30 people on stage.

I played a solo on the recorder! :D

CAN I PLAY?!

please?

We'll do it for free!

satyricon

are, as far as I am aware, from Oslo.

hahahaha

surely "single of the year".

Cut my cake into pieces, this is my raspberry tort...

why

the piss have they stuck an ø into their name? If possible, that just makes their name even more ridiculous. It's like Smirnoff Nørsk, which had the ø in it to make it look more scandinavian (it didn't work - Norsk is a word, Nørsk isn't).

Also, they're shit.

Malajube

are ACE! They sing in French and scream every now and then.

course I could

and I'm not even british!

"Eeeenglaaaand, real ale, chips and beer. Trackies stuffed in socks, too dim to rhyme. ENGLAAAAAAND." The lyrics need a slight reworking, but as for melody, just get drunk and scream it out whilst surrounded by people who shave their heads and think that rugby shirts actually constitute something stylish to wear.

Caught these guys live

on April 1st in Oslo. No microphones or anything, the guy just shouted "Hi, we're Red Sparowes" before the proceeded to make GROWN METALLERS CRY.

fucking awesome.

same goes

for Oslo, really. There's an explosively good local scene here (at times). The hip, happening acts also stop here and play everything from a 200 capacity venue to the 4000 capacity arena. I once saw Sigur Ros and a small orchestra cram themselves onto a stage the size of a dining room table in the student union thing.

There's also a festival every year that has some rather ace acts. This year there's...err... Beck and Morrissey headlining, and they're the worst acts announced so far.

Yeah, I'll send you some samples if you want.

they might be successful

but they're still utter cack. :-/ I fear for music.

yeah

hot like herpes

hear hear

hear this

as a five times Roskilde-goer, i proclaim it the best festival ever. 3 quid for a crate of beer! Not good beer, but beer nonetheless.

looking back

this is the most hilarious comment ever.

it is

really quite ace, Dan, well done! :D

WE BELIEVE IN MUSIC (or why it’s really, really im

It's always amusing to see an argument about, essentially, what constitutes good music this long.

Not that I actually read it all, I haven't got the time to read the comments of stubborn people (like me) arguing with other stubborn people (also like me) about who're right and who're wrong. However, it's nice to see that people actually care enough about music to do so.

Anyway, I bought "Silent Alarm" on the day of it release purely because I knew it to be a wonderful album. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter who releases what, who owns who and which pen signed what paper. As long as the music's good, then nothing else really matters.

So, What's the ..... of the year?

Re: Mad Capsule Markets - CiSTM K0nFLiqT

It's nice to see you've obviously looked into this...

Mad Capsule Markets - CiSTM K0nFLiqT

MCM are the low end of the japanese rock scene. For the real deals, check out Dir en Grey, Moi Dix Mois, Kagerou and others. Basically, MCM are like Dir en Grey, only with more sampling and more english lyrics...

Hope of the States - The Red The White The Black The Blue

I love it. I love this band. I love this single. It's gorgeous.

Fickle Public - Public Service Broadcast #1

I quite like the review, it's hard to write something useful about a compilation.

anyway, for more on Mean+Flower,

Re: Muse: Huuuge Arena Tour Announced

I've only seen 'em once...so that has to be my best muse gig lol. Rockefeller in Oslo, some time in 2002, march or so, can't remember. Blinding gig. Stood right up in front of mr. bellamy. With those blue spikes and a freaky grin he looked almost menacing...until you noticed his height. or lack there of, rather...

Re: Whatever Happened To The Teenage Dreams?

The last pillar of the "good old days" :
Holly's Demo Hell...she is still to give one single good comment...even so, some bands choose to quote her on their websites. must be trendy being crap or something :P

One True Voice: beware, for the solo careers have already begun

*chokes with laughter/despair*

A Tiny Guide To Moving Home

I actually tend to find miss Vergho's writings quite amusing and quite true (except all that stuff about tampax. I don't know anything about tampax.). Furthermore all these useless posts by random people who obviously don't have any sense of humour whatsoever are just that. Useless. If you don't like reading these rants (or whatever one would label them), then don't read them. It's really not that hard. Just not press the links. Yes, that's right. Click? - no.

Ahem...

I've just experienced something similar. I'm moving in with two friends. Obviously, we need 3 bedrooms. After extensive searching, we found a flat, 3 bedrooms, kitchen, furniture (which actually turned out to be quite nice) and free heating. at a measly £1200 a month this seemed amazing. Of course, the 3 bedrooms was actually 1 single bedroom (now mine..mwhahaha) and a large bedroom. Seperated by a see-thru curtain. Hmpf. We still took it though. and put up a wall instead of the curtain.

Re: TAPES

Bootlegs are only fun when they're on tape anyway. CD bootlegs ruin the fun of doing something *shhhs* illegal.
(To all authority: I don't deal in bootlegs. I don't even know what a bootleg is. What were we talking about again? )

The Beautiful Ones

A paying member of the menswe@r fanclub...oh my oh my.

Re: yes

I support mp3s, but not mp3 players. Waste of totally useable techy things. Think of all the toasters that could have been made instead of ugly small shites that only store crap quality songs. Sheesh.

I wanna buy more cds, but I can't get a job. So no money. And there's not a very good selection here either. For example, finding cds by the great band Luna Sea is impossible. No ones even hear of them, even though they're like THE most famous band from Japan...

To Tape Or Not To Tape

This mix tape thing never really was my thing, basically because I haven't got a tape deck that I can hook up to anything, so I used to record from the radio, and I must say, Snap (y'know "rythm is a danca") were really shite. I know this 'cause I (obviously) found an old mix tape the other day.

I use tapes for bootlegs and to record the two first bands I was in (if anyone wants to hear something truly awful, msg me). As for when I'm out walking, I use a discman. How you ask? well, I carry it in my bag. And when I come to think of it I also have my mini-disc and walkman with me in case one of them should run out of batteries. Which they constantly do, since my walkman was probably made in the late 70s, my discman is allround shabby after five years use and abuse. The only thing actually working is my minidisc, but I've run out of discs, so it's not too exciting listening to it now.
And a mix cd is more fun to decorate than a tape. more space.

Stereophonics- Does it get any worse than this?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Well...hopefully they'll have some sort of fancy video that I can turn of the sound to and play some other music instead.
