Famous last words....I can just see you getting trampled by hordes of disgruntled indier than thou types as they march
with torches in hand to Castle Morley.

;)

Seems like Luke Haines prediction of Morley heading for the madhouse is not far from the truth.

The "Wikipedia says..." start is a bit telling, has someone given him a load of money to spraff on about an artist he actually knows jack all about only for him to spend it on nose candy and then write this in some drug fuelled ego frenzy?

On the other hand it is FUCKING entertaining!

Cutting words from MC Obama there

not completely responsible, no.

Partly, maybe.

and learn to take at joke at the expense of these uni-browed oafs you so love.

Prick.

cos Oasis are like the music of the fucking spheres aren't they?

..writing for Q magazine I imagine

Motherblocker!

If you think this is some kind of attonement for giving these cunts a 8/10 in the first place - thus contributing to the fact that this second record was even made then you are right.

But not much.

Seems well enough to present a crappy TV show.

It had its moments I agree, in Sad Song it was great too.

What kind of killed it for me was the audience reaction - THEY ARE SINGING ABOUT SUICIDE FOR FUCKS SAKE!!! WHY ARE YOU ALL GOING "AHHHH"

1. Lou - sing it like you mean it, he seemed to be reading off an autocue half the time.

2. Childrens choir = bad idea, although mildly funny to see a bunch of kids singing along to songs about addiction, domestic abuse, suicide etc

3. Cheesy versions of Sattelite of Love and Walk on the Wildside as encores. Vibekiller.

Aside from the above the band and the extended versions of the songs were pretty awesome.

Plus I got bought the ticket for my birthday.

..this is a fucking lame ass way of making a point for that.

Exactly?

to and from the site during festie time, yes?

I don't get what they are trying to achieve by this!

..I just cannot get Thommys point here.

I mean their ARE buses too and from the Glasto site - what does he want, a fucking railroad in there??

Also, most people who drive down to Glasto do pack out their cars in order to save money on transport.

Please, am I missing something here??

...was going to be them apologising for missing the bus or something.

Or planning to miss the bus "didn’t play this year’s Glastonbury" - is it July already??

;)

But, as someone said - Britpop was not well digested by US audiences - hardly the British Invasion part 3 was it?

Also, saying Drum and Bass is an evolution of House is much like saying a donkey is an evolution of an amoeba!

Even so - a quirky and insightful piece

B+

but both times in a paddleboat.

...he's highly competitive.

...you can't get into either of them so easily these days ;p

and the local media are not doing the town any favours with their obsession with the past either, I have to admit.

but I assure you that Air Cav are one of many Manchester bands breaking this mould at the moment and frankly perpetuating that outdated perception of the town and its bands is not really that helpful.

Even so, you do show more interest in the cities music than most of the reviewers on here Dom, and that is a good thing indeed

:)

for the sweeping and hugely inaccurate generalisation Dom, there are many great new bands in Manchester these days that do not punt "typically bland pseudo-‘working class’ terminology".

Funny that statement - coming from the man who gave the Courteeners an interview on this very site.

Anyway - a superb song from a great band. Well done Air Cav!

this is a copyright issue between the individuals and the labels, the latter of whom want the ISP's to police it for them at no cost to themselves!

risk losing these hotly competed for customers to rivals who are seen to be more relaxed about downloading.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/12/anti_filesharing_paper_leak/

that they introduce that sponsoring of albums they keep threatening for this.

Who should sponsor it - ESSO, BP, Macdonalds??

don't go to the Pyramid stage after 8pm on any given day!

Its a bit like me complaining these acts are playing at the Manchester Apollo over three nights - Glastonbury has plenty of "venues" and the stuff off the beaten track is much better anyway.

its wasnt.

"Rage" was.

= "braiinnnnsss"

Not fair!!

releasing this tripe??

I'd say that was a pre-requisite ;)

was coupled with a picture of Robbie Williams sticking his tongue out.

Very insensitive, but well fucking funny.

fuxake

Really wasn't sure about "Atom" but the recent single and this, especially "No Lucifer" restored my faith in this wonderful band.

Just awesome.

He no forgive you for downloading Kid A for free and paying 0.6p for his new album.

No more Radiohead news please.

Just being Bloc Party equals instant credibility meltdown

;p

and am loving the rawness, tell em to check their myspace ;)

Ultimately with the anti-scene we are not trying to create a movement as much as a place for bands that are willing to innovate, a place to meet up and check out what others have to offer.

We're just trying to keep that Manchester DIY spirit, the one Mr Robb loves to talk about but has long since forgotten, alive and burning bright.

And its the Smiths that are globally
the biggest Manchester band ever, as well
as being the best.

I was out in eastern europe a couple
of years ago and amazed by how popular
The Smiths were in Prague, encapsulated
by a nigh on 7 ft Czech guy singing
"William, it was really nothing" at
me during a party there.

...come see me play and continue this
in person.

I won't hold my breath that a clueless,
faceless little troll like you would
ever have the guts to come good on
that.

But the Anti-scene is waiting for you
first Thursday of the month, if you want to prove me wrong.

:)

Nice try, mate - your bailing because your beat, simple as that.

Now fuck off and learn to hold an argument, prick.

I get what your saying but we're not actually that much against these bands
as much as the way Manchester is being
represented in that article up there.

That Manchester grass roots scene is hardly represented on this site mainly
because most people around the UK think
all the city has to offer is "attitude"
bands.

You know as we know, this just isn't the case.

I'm enjoying watching you trapped in a corner here - throwing out abuse because you are incapable of actually arguing your point.

I think, in reality - your the child here really, aren't you?

And "cliched" - mate, I drew you out into that territory earlier when I had you ranting about southerners in the most cliched way possible.

Your just a puppet, skeggy! We're playing you like the dumbass you are!

Don't upset him Vince, he's clearly distressed that the band he's blown all his pocket money on have turned out to be shitty Libertines aping also-rans.

Oh and Mr Steggy - seems like your mate Liam can learn to love southerners, so maybe you can too!! -->

"Thanks for being so receptive to us. London is like our second home..."

hahahahahahahahaha!

Maybe we should invite these poor saps
down for Febuary 7th - show em what the real sound of Manchester is.

They might even turn out to be decent human beings behind that creepy stalker facade.

Conveyor line more like ;)
