Its not that comforting to think your grandad's got more spunk than you though is it?

By 'you', i don't mean R.Bennett, he seems full of spunk, i mean maybe....Jet.

Why should they quit when young jokers are STILL ripping them off with half measures.

Horrific.

The Rakes, The Cribs, The Glitteratti, The Ga-Ga's, The Black Velvets, The Others....

Its a wasteland out there in the indie clubs, full of stolen bad ideas, no imagination and a whole bus-load of easy delusions.

Office jobs for these wasters in t- 12 months.

The new EP was a real dissapointment, i thought Sumday was the best they've done.
The EP sounds like demo's by Jason on his own, and its all the same as old stuff with no quality control.
Still looking forward to the album though, they'll pull it out the bag.

Problem is, this is more or less pure hip-hop, its got groove and sass. I think its catchy as a cactus, keeping your head still listening to this is tricky.
So all in all, not one for indie scenesters.

Funeral was made so long ago now that the next one is probably well on the way, no matter what they say.
I don't expect it to be anything less than bloody bwwwwiliant.

Michael Jackson can do nothing to help those people, he is too detached from any sort of reality, imagine him mucking in to help like those lovely Hollywood types.
He probably weeps in his pea soup thinking of the empty, lonely shoots left behind.
But he can certainly try and ressurect his public image as the pop prince of empathy, what a nice man.

ps. He touches boys.

I wouldn't want to be on the other end of the phone if Michael called for help.
I bet Elton John, P Diddy & Beyonce are suddenly very busy today.
He'll end up doing it with Rik Waller and someone out of Buzzs Fizz.

Virgin don't have a playlist at night, its like a different station.
Still a bit cosy though.
Vic Reeves is spent completely it seems, the next Chris Tarrant.
Uncle Charlie Chuck would be miles better...

Circa Now! was immense when it came out, they were the best live band i'd ever seen when i was 17, intense.

Can Lauren Laverne sell her scrawny ass down the river any further?

I think Mojo & Uncut go through swings in quality, it depends on who's writing.
New magazines are always great because they do what they do what they really want before they realise it doesn't sell.
Q sucks a fat one, it's a middle management magazine for people who listen to Pink Floyd doing 65mph down a country lane in their BMW. Hundred tracks you must download this month etc. pish.

I think all mags tread that line for the first year of their existance, and god knows, there is space for a decent monthly with decent & lengthy editorial aimed at what was once the "NME market".
I'm glad they're at least trying, hopefully it covers some lesser knowns too, coz the cover stars are dullsville.

Spot on Nick.
You've been admirably diplomatic in your slagging.
They are jaw droppingly painful

Icarus have got the attitude right, but setting them up as the "best thing to happen....ever" is just the kind of naive shit NME comes out with monthly.
