The lateness and dummy first track actually added to the atmosphere quite a bit. Sound was a bit too bass heavy but I enjoyed it all thoroughly.

I'm pretty sure it's a joke as it's the type of thing he does in interviews. The funniest thing is how all the press jump on it. I love both bands and wouldn't be surprised if Matthew likes Radiohead too. He's just being silly. Get over it.

they sound like they probably sound superb but I've never stumbled across any recordings yet.

sorry.

They're hardly rock though. That's a point. Actually, nor are Belle and Sebastian. Fair point then.

But that list is close to 100% accurate for me.

I'd put them in a different order, especially 1) NMH, 2) Liz Phair, 3) Bell and Sebastian 4) GBV but they're all fantastic records.

Enough cannot be written about how much of a masterpiece Exile in Guyville is. Everyone should own it. Pretty much every one of these records makes me think "this is the best thing ever" each time I put it on but Liz, NMH, Guided by Voices, and B&S are the big players.

This album better be the masterpiece she's fully capable of.

oh well.

that does make me completely lose interest in ever buying their record.

a mad panic when tickets are selling out to just buy them anywhere. Big sites crash so you go to a dodgy one. Luckily the shows I go to are hardly ever sell outs but I can see someone falling into such a trap.
It would be so much easier if ticketing companies just disappeared and let venues do all the work directly but that's probably impossible.

Silver Apples
Suicide
The Fiery Furnaces

being a huge fan of everything Jack's done. Alicia isn't bad either. I still think Franz Ferdinand would be a great choice but this could be brilliant.

how many reissues/collections/etc can one artist put out? Ridiculous.

Last time I saw them they played to an iPod and it was a bit rubbish considering how brilliant the album is.

a lot.

at least there'll be one more ticket available for those of us who continue to love the event.

Complete twat who doesn't really justify his twatishness with his fine but not life changing music but this interview did make me laugh and he makes a few valid points.

I'm rather glad we chose Explosions now. Even though I initially dreaded a borefest of post rock after post rock.

the sample is completely irrelevant, tiny, barely audible and from a public radio show.

Prevent further distribution of one of the best records out there. Dearest me. They'll probably just take out the sample which'll make no difference to anything.

Writing of samples on that record the one of a young Jack saying that poem is brilliant.

September seems too far away even if I only saw him a month ago.

Death Set and Black Dice!

I try my best to keep up with hip hop but have really only heard of two of those top tracks and only actually heard one. Dearest me.

RIP

quite similar to my list too. My top three is.

1) LCD Soundsystem
2) M.I.A
3) Panda Bear

It made my day. Though also made me temporarily £117 poorer than I was a few minutes ago.

Top stuff.

It's not quite as amazing as her first solo record which was a hundred times better than anything she did with Moloko but it's still a fantastic album.

One of my favourite records of the year actually.

which rocks buckets

fantastic stuff.

very much looking forward to the new album. Good set list as well. I think I might go back to seeing them a lot after taking a year or two's break.

but Okkervil River at the Luminaire. Oh my Cod.

shocking.

Hi Filip,

Cheers for getting in touch!

I haven't actually been asked to play Truck this year, which is a bit
of
a shame! I'm also absolutely insanely busy trying to get new demos
together for Nu Energy (http://www.nuenergy.co.uk - I've just released
an EP with them) and I don't actually have a live set ready right now.

It's most likely that I won't be playing this year - I want to improve
my studio and take some time out from playing live generally too, but
once that's done I should be back playing again.

Thanks,

Paul

about it

it seems insane for him not to play. There's nothing about it on his website. Odd.

So, so the highlight of last year.

So, so happy he's doing it again.

he still looks about 26.

give us that anti-ageing potion you've found already.

How on earth is he in his late 40s looking like that?

on the amiga.

I was wondering that.

I may have to get a ticket to one of these if that idea has been scrapped.

"Your skin shining softly in the moonlight
Partly fish, partly porpoise, partly baby sperm whale"

quite

"Not nit not nit no not
Nit nit folly bololey
Alifi my larder
Alifi my larder
I can't forsake you or
Forsqueak you
Alifi my larder
Alifi my larder
Confiscate or make you
Late you you
Alifi my larder Alifi my larder
Not nit not nit no not
Nit nit folly bololy
Burlybunch, the water mole
Hellyplop and fingerhole
Not a wossit bundy, see ?
For jangle and bojangle
Trip trip
Pip pippy pippy pip pip landerim
Alifi my larder
Alifi my larder

I'm not your larder,
jammy jars and mustard.
I'm not your dinner,
you soppy old custard.
And what's a bololey
when it's a folly?
I'm not your larder,
I'm your dear little dolly.
But when plops get too helly
I'll fill up your belly.
I'm not your larder,
I'm Alife your guarder."

indeed

until I noticed the lyrics.

maybe I'm losing my mind but they were quite easily in my top 3 performances of the ATP vs Fans weekend. I was expecting them to be half dull but I really loved it. Really, really loved it. Everyone else I spoke to seemed to as well.

No chance but it would be nice.

and was a bit unimpressed
