Arctic Monkeys are one of, if not the, most critically acclaimed bands of the decade
and are working class in every sense (Background, fan base, musical style).
This is the best Weezer album in recent memory
not a grand claim per se but it's way better than Red, Make Believe and Maladroit.
Jack Lawrence is his name
although he looks a bit like Minty's girlfriend on Eastenders atm.
No
It's like something off Crystal Maze. HELP!
Basshunter looks like a walking STD
Also, you need to change to video for Implosion Quintet. HTM-HELL.
Shocked not to see The Manics and to a lesser extent Lily Allen
The Horrors won't win, they'll be like Burial- tipped by all but falling at the end to *PUTS NECK ON LINE* Glasvegas or La Roux.
Can someone explain Speech Debelle to me?
I like this album a lot
some of the production is a bit busy but there's a lot of passion in the songs and her voice sounds great throughout.
I like all these acts
this was a good piece and to a lot of people the likes of Lightspped and Emmy will be gateway artists leading young kids into the 'proper' stuff the purists above me sit in their room being boring too.
That review is very short sighted
it seems to suggest everything that defines her as who she is needs stripping away. Obviously Taylor Swift is superior to Regina. Haha.
Great song writer
not so great singer.
Good review
My slightly less vitriolic version: http://www.gigwise.com/reviews/albums/51157/Kasabian---West-Ryder-Pauper-Lunatic-Asylum
Dare I suggest that this 'breakdown' will help make Wavves unknown name well known
and promote his album pretty nicely? No such thing as bad publicity etc etc.
worth a shot
a) Saint Dymphna
Brilliant stuff
I might get my Mum to blog about Michael Ball and Donny Osmond.
Metric- Fantasies
appears to be missing.
Didn't know he went to LIPA
this and Eugene McGuiness clawing back the credibility The Wombats ruined.
That M-Bar song is great
he's done it with Kyp from TVOTR and I think Ed Droste is a fan too.
I've done something similar
only not including tracks from albums already released in 2009. So singles, remixes, b-sides and free downloads mainly.

Ask YYY's why they ditched the guitars
I bet they *Love* that question. A true original! On a serious note though, I'd like to know about Karen O's proposed solo album.
Probably
my favourite album of the year so far.
At first I was a little underwhelmed
not by the disco stompers but by the balldy type tracks. However 'Hysteric' is possibly my favourite YYY's song now and Runaway and Skeletons are not far behind. It's an astoundingly good record imo.
Is that the guy from Grammatics in the first picture?
I saw him driving his car at Leeds Festival last year- he looked like a Thunderbird.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs now travel everywhere via camel
hence the 3 days needed to get to London from Manchester.
I like the riff from 'Get On Your Boots'
That is all.
My most anticipated album of 2009
I think it will be excellent.
I like Twitter and it was really noticeable how many more hits I got on my blog when I started promoting it on there.
However I hate the word 'Tweet'so much. Also I don't think anyone really cared that much about the day to day activities of Philip Schofield, Rob Brydon, Danny Wallace and Graham Linehan before so why do they now?
I await Judith Chalmers arrival with baited breath.
I'm guessing Posdnuos was unavailable to make that video
or is he just a floating pair of lips these days?
Remixes of '08
1. Santogold- You'll Find A Way (Switch & Sinden)
2. Passion Pit- Sleepyhead (Landau Wake Up)
3. Friendly Fires- Paris (Aeroplane ft Au Revoir Simone)
4. M.I.A- Paper Planes- (DFA)
5. White Lies- Death (Crystal Castles)
6. Lykke Li- I'm Good I'm Gone (Metronomy)
7. Mystery Jets- Hideaway (Diplo)
8. MGMT- Electric Feel (Justice)
9. Ladyhawke- Back Of The Van (Van She Tech)
10. Kid Cudi- Day 'N' Nite (Crookers)
11. The Kills- Cheap And Cheerful (Sebastian)
Very good list- one of the most rounded I've seen
with a nice contentious winner to stoke some debates. The Kills deserve that #9- it's a brilliant album.
It's weird how Foals seem to have fallen out of favour to a degree. Compare Januarys hype and reviews to now; I haven't seen them do very well in any of the lists so far. It's my number 1 thoug so maybe I'm biased.
Support slot-
Kaiser Chiefs
Welcome to 2009

2008's
Beth Ditto?
But surely when you saw 'DiS meets Lauren Laverne'
you knew what was coming? I am going to assume you have enough intelligence to deduce from the headline what the article would entail, therefore knowing in advance of reading it whether you would like it or not. Quit moaning.
Its comments like these that will have people queing up to be interviewed by Dis eh?
I liked this. It's good to have people like LL on TV.

As fun as bits of this are
it's essentially a pointless record.
