Is this actually out yet?

Disagree entirely

I can't really see how it sounds contrived at all, especially seeing as it really isn't the departure from the previous album that many people have made it out to be.

Jesse Lacey

Not Delaney. But I guess you know that 'cos it's in the article.

I love Jesse Lacey so much that I'd probably be exactly the sort of person he'd hate. Daisy is fucking fantastic too.

I only managed to get a copy of 'The White Birch' through an Amazon seller

Sean

Do you own shares in Twitter? Or does Twitter owns shares in you?

I knew I'd get a dickish, pseudo-aggressive reply

My point was, rather harmlessly, that these guys have been tipped by various online zines for the past 2 years. It wasn't an attack.

I think I first saw these guys play mid-2007

Bit late with the tippage.

I got bored but the statement

"It means that due to file-sharing via P2P, blogs, IM-ing, YouSendit/Rapidshare-ing zip files, CDR's, hard-drive swapping, etc. the record industry is only making 5% of the money it could potentially be making" is incorrect.

Let's all argue about what makes a 'real' fan.

I reckon they've got to have at least, um let's say 4, club-related tattoos

1.5 is the earliest I remember

and I HATED the change to Ver. 2 at the time

I'm very tempted

Brilliant album

Anything off the Cats In Paris album

and most recent Maps & Atlases EP

Fair

What do you mean

"have" to get back in? For their sake or for America?

I have a download code for this

that I haven't redeemed yet. I shall have to dig it out

Oh God, neither will I

If that single with the robots in the video hadn't happened, I'd be more robust in my liking

I still like Bloc Party

so I'm going to pre-order this, even though I haven't heard 'Mercury'

Yeah

I think my face being bitten by a dog is the reason Gareth has been a misery guts every time I've seen LC!

I'm not being negative

I'd presume that on the morning of every occassion I've seen LC! live, Gareth has got out of bed on the wrong side.

I want to be excited

but Gareth has pissed me off every time I've seen LC! live

Oooh, tempting

but I cannae afford it until next Friday.

I thought they were alright on Monday

But only alright

There is plenty of evidence to suggest otherwise

and that is really besides the point

How can he be "wrong"?

You've mentioned before that many of the core staffers don't like post-rock, and you love it. I struggle to believe you've marked down reviews of bands like Yndi Halda or This Will Destroy You because of that

Maybe the reviewer would put this alongside

the last albums from Modest Mouse and Les Savy Fav? Surely that difference of opinion is why you don't have just one person doing all the reviews.

You are editor Mike, so essentially can do what you want. But your argument doesn't really stand up.

^ This

Otherwise, only the site editor should write reviews

I'd say Foals stand out

as being the hype band who didn't deliver

FAO GUNTRIP:

CAN SHUCKS, PIECES, LLB AND I DJ BETWEEN BANDS, PLAYING ONLY LIMP BIZKIT SONGS?

I HOPE SO

On the plus side

This is good news for klaire, isn't it?

I've listened to it plenty

It just all sounds really flat and two-dimensional. It probably sounds better live.

'I Want You To Know...'

is the easily the worst album I've bought this year, which makes me quite sad. I was soooo looking forward to it.

Something about this review doesn't sit well with me

It reads very much like "Young people make young people music that I'm not keen on but I don't want the young people to be angry at me so I'll say its alright".

Can I still hate the NME?

Fair bit of criticim of this feature again

All I will say is that I completely understand the idea behind DiSband, but I still don't like it.

I'd box

THE END OF DOOM

They

They have a point

"It's not subversive to like these guys, people; it's just silly."

A really dumb sentence that ruins an otherwise great review

Being in a band isn't a profession

Twerp

Tuesday was brilliant

Yeah

but now we can be all indie-smug-cool like

Only about £8

£10ish with booking fee and postage. Annoying, but not massively harsh

Yup I've just checked and pre-ordered

Feel slightly less guilty about downloading the leak now.

Oi!

I paid the full price and booking fee for tickets for tomorrow!

Is the album up for pre-order anywhere yet? It is AMAZING
