at Bethnal Green.

A) The Past Is A Grotesque Animal.

though I'm going through an overly twee phase at the minute so I'll probably hate it soon especially given the amount of times you have to hear the intro thanks to the ING advert.

for all it's radio 4 repeats.

Only one worth listening to.

They can say the disagreed with the bit where he actively encouraged someone not to use their product ie "Don't smoke" as opposed to the fact to back in up. Lovely lovely cigarette companies.

tuh dah.

it only seems good in comparison to the dullness of the rest of it.

I hate to say it but the London gig was pants beyond belief. The sounds was utter shite and hence the crowd were pretty tepid. I really like LC! so I may have to dust off my young persons railcard to see them play a decent gig.

cheap thrills come better than this? They're just playing what should be tight slick tuneful pop in a sloppy, hazy manner. Rather need a producer to kick them up the arse and make their sound blossom. Trevor Horn comes to mind, no really.

I loved Silent Alarm and the EPs before it and Kele when I bumped into him at Bethnal Green tube but those aren't good lyrics. The points are fair enough but putting them across in that fairly obvious manner is far more suited to Question Time than a pop song. His better lyrics are the ambiguous, emotionally felt ones rather than this over rational argument as is true of most lyricists.

As for the release date it doesn't worry me too much. As it is a critique of a media reaction not anyone involved it seems fairly detached from it.

get in trouble for painting his rented house purple or something as well? You'd end up losing your deposit

I was discussing bands that seemed to be dead. The Spree were one of them. For some reason the conversation descended into the organisation of mass graves.

I had completely forgotten they'd reformed until this makes me think they might have been a touch overshadowed yes.

is rather scary. So bleeding fast. I can't work out if Ilike it or not cause every time I drop the stylus I get a system shock.

are always wrong because all the kids come out to their local woolies at the weekend with their pocket money where as mid weeks show what the boring bloke in the office who doesn't really like music who just wants something to listen to whilst he does the tiny amount of washing up from his microwave meal likes.

iRiver of all people. They're a korean company and do make very good Mp3 players. The other headphones socket is infact line out btw. Sony make their own Mp3 players.

I still use Minidisc. One of those crazy sports ones thats encase in concrete and thick white plastic so it actually survives unlike every other MD player.

the iBoxers yet.
