Get Carter. That's a soundtrack not a collection of reference points for the slow witted. Having said that, from Mean Streets to Goodfellas and on to Casino, there's a certain Italian American director that really knows how to use a 3 minute pop song.
reminds me
when are Kitchens Of Distinction going to get back together....www.myspace.com/kitchensod
go for the
spokes.
maybe
all new bands should have a logan's run style limit on their life automatically with the style pundits and interweb types asigning a number of months to each. Oh, they already do that? Fair enough. Lumping together Kasabian & The Twang is a tad lazy if not short sighted. Kasabian are Primal Scream circa 97 & The Twang Flowered Up circa 91 with the Edge form The U2 on guitar. Get it right you experts. Please, if there is a cull, start with Bloc Party who are Bloc Party circa 03 without the skills.
my bad
meant derbeh and that. Oh & by the way Dom, I've screwed them. Buy you a drink next time you're in a decent boozer.
Gourlay has started this
pathetic argument due to his shaby football team Notts County not doing that well la.
Leicester
is a nice place to eat sandwiches. And pastries.
That's the point
Optimism with the election of a new regime that turns sour.
His point was
in 97 everyone thought the Blair led government were all going to be a bit JFK and for a year or two people believered that but in hindsight we was robbed. All politicians, with the exception of Dennis Skinner, are bent. This point can never be made enough and should never be forgotten even by Noel Gallagher who I find a bloody interesting and entertaining bloke.
Shoddy?
I'd say the PR was on the nail. Any mention of Big Bobby Smith would damage Massive Attack's stock no end surely shirley?
Coldcut
rule.
five leaves left
contains some t'riffic arrangements, Riverman in particular that add to his voice and brilliant guitar playing.
Yep
The BBC4 documentary featured photos songs and talking heads from his sister, Uni friends, Joe Boydd and others associated with the lad. It was called a skin too few so I guess it's the same as the SXSW one. It's well documented that record buyers never gave a fuck about him when he was alive and it was only well after his death that his music started to get picked up. The myth of the man is well served by the lack of footage and the 3 album body of work he left.
Why not?
We don't charge for it...it's free. Are we the future of rock and roll? I very much doubt it. Do people like us? Erm yeah, they do. Will anyone actually making music earn a living from it? No. Give it all away in the best quality you can. Myspace was a marketing story for Lily Allen, Arctic Monkeys and that punkrockflower fuckwit. Myspace is News International. It should be abused and used as much as possible but no advert should be clicked on and no cash should be exchanged for any of it's music.
My Beat Combo
realised the existing quality was piss poor in Novemeber so we halted all the downloads on our mymurdoch page and refered people to our own website which we pay a monthly charge and have hardly used recently. All are bif fat bastard hifu mp3's at 320kbps are now available there for nowt and that has resulted in increased blogging of our stuff. Myspace is still ace for pulling birds though.
GOURLAY!
Card marked. And make sure your payment's on time this month otherwise it's the other leg.
Respectfully As Ever,

Christy Moore
Does a sterling version of Fairytale Of New York second only to the Pogues. Go find it on youtube.
The Bellrays
Merry Christmas Baby. It's as ground breaking as Christmas. Terrific!
Tiernan!
Mind holding open your bag my dear boy? That's the spirit. ;-)
been on the shelf
too long, sit at home with my best suit on. Ring any bells?
I see his
people have knicked the Pimlicos sorry, the Holloways sandwich board idea. Been on the shelf too long and then some.
I really like
The Screening. Apart from Jim as he can't hold his drink.
House Of Love
Teenage Fanclub, King Biscuit Time, The Boo Radleys, Hypnotone, Viking Moses.
I was a mod
before you were. And Ed Ball.
Well remembered
Interesting Fact #1
What’s The Story was panned by the critics who all sank their wonga into the Great Escape only for Oasis to trounce Blur in sales and the end of years at which point the music press miraculously reversed their panning on What's The Story.
Interesting Fact #2
I’ve just had a tune sandwich and a cup of sugary tea. It was nice.
Interesting Fact #3
Oasis have been fucking the corpse of Lennon for years.
Thinks not things.
duh-uh-huh.
Chuck D
Things he's a tad shaby. He told me as much in his booming WAR tones.
Look
#1. Divorcing wife by fax.
#2. Everything the stumpy get has ever recorded.
#3. It's Phil Collins.
#4. Singing Drummers (Misterlee aside)
Brum
A bloody big arena - the NIA - and it was ace. Best gig of the year even beating Jason Spaceman in a victorian theatre with a choire & string quartet.
STALKER
Eih! Eih! Eih!
just after Tony Wilson
poked my eyes out and seymour stein fed me pie. Bloody hard work on that pass - I'm still writing things up for John I'll have you know Andeh!
Was he clean shaven?
Did you compare blouson jackets - hey no offense like! I met Chuck D the other week. He was wearing lesiure wear but called me sir so I saw that as a good compromise. I twatted Hank Schocklee though as he was lazily dressed and asked me what the time was. I should really go and find your podcasr now shouldn't I...
Look at those
street drinking hippy students! Get a fucking hair cut, you look like Coldplay fans.
No.
Mussolini was a cunt. McNicholas is a lacky.
No issues with obesity
from the boy doherty though. In fact the piece I read in Slimming World last week "How I dropped 4 dress sizes by nibling on the horse" can only cheer the governments chief medical officer.
Good point
well made you pedantic slowface.
I am
too cool for any of those fucking shits. And Brandon Flowers? A bad photocopy of what a marketing company thinks is indie. Serge Pizzorno? Inter-band rivalry starts here, Tom is the cool fucker in that band, serge is incapable of putting a sentence together. Props to Paul Simonon though, he wears nice stuff which is what cool is about
The figure means
nothing. It's a token only. News International are against downloading. They will come to a deal with Universal making both parties happy. This is business after all. Everybody else just needs to fuck off to the new "myspace" until they catch up with them.
Accountants...
...are running the world.
The peripherals are so much more interesting and the people are nice.
Didn't
Jake Burns write all of Green Days material? Do I win for the most obvious gag?
I
was at Leicester last night and agree with every word of this review.
that's
Hype machine. Whoops.
Hype
net. Myspace is a waste of time these days as it is overpopulated. There's loads of good stuff on there but with over 2million "artists" how in the hell do you find time to wade through it? Recommendations through blogs is the way forwrad. A blog can act as a dj or journalist by highlighting new stuff.
yeah
sorry about that, I usually use an 'alf litre stella can.
It is
Happy Hour by The Housemartins and I claim my £5 and a bus pass.
Yes!
It's not like the old cutting edge days when Macca used to be on the cover every month...hang on a minute...it's always been like that you fuckwits! Duh! Q magazine is for the sales reps that find FHM a bit too down market and Mojo a bit too fuddy duddy daddio.
who does he
write for again?
I've come to the conclusion
That they must be a comedy band. How else could someone claim that their lyrics is dead good like when they cover a Gin-knee-sis song.
Can't you just
fax it to Buster's ex?

I'm sorry
I gave that the required 10 seconds and nothing interesting happened. Bands these days, do they not know how to produce a demo?
