The law of diminishing returns really does apply to these guys
One listen of this album - I never want to hear it again. Every song is slow, plodding and totally lifeless. Where is the spark/excitement from those demos?
Thanks for the big exit - we'll all miss you
Interesting article. I question the spin behind the stats here, but the fact remains that the music industry is so behind the times (still) on incorporating downloading into their models. I would have happily paid a fee to OiNK/Waffles, but didn't because the "industry" didn't see that method as something to turn to their advantage. Instead they demonized it, which drove it further underground. Shot themselves in the foot if you ask me.
Solution 2 is the one I prefer of the two options you propose
Most unoriginal headline ever?
First listen, sounds pretty good
Where is the Caerdydd date?
Aren't LC! from bloody Cardiff???
Liked their first effort
Quite looking forward to hearing their new stuff
oooooh handbags
And the answer to your question is "no, they don't do anything else"
But they make valid points. Ian Brown is the WORST live act I have ever seen, and his point about the sex pistols is clearly bollocks
Yes, you are wrong
very VERY WRONG
Yeah it is true
But his band actually is the top of the list when it comes to bland, boring, unoriginal music, so it pot kettle black Messrs Wilson and Hodgson
May I be first to say...
... shame it didn't
Too harsh?
Guess you won't be going then
fucking rip off in Cardiff. Cheapest tickets £55, up to £75
^this
KoL bore me to tears live. No crowd interaction, no charisma. They're like musical robots on stage
I'm there in Cardiff
Supported by Fighting with Wire and Gindrinker - fucking great night in store!
Clicked here hoping...
... it was deemed a success because the Boosh crew were killed by lightning.
Sadly not
*Stalingrad
Please research your sarcastic historical based puns correctly
Fatima Whitbreads' new career as a lead singer?
Don't rate these at all. Its all well and good being influenced by bands, but they are so blatantly a rip of the cure is riles me
Wonderful Album
Bought this on Friday, listened to it twice on the way to London, once on the way back. Found myself smiling and laughing at alot of the lyrics (in a good way though)
"blonde hottie"
This is NOT an accurate description of this women
WHAT is the attraction?
Why are these guys no longer on ....
... the drowned in sound label?
This video link is utter shite
takes ages to load some wanky advert then falls over
Eh?
WTF?
Easy Tiger
Is calling me a muppet for a slight grammatical error really warrented?
Wikipedia it

They actually sound fairly interesting
So fucking glad I am not going now
That Friday lineup for all three stages is dire beyond belief
Loved the debut
Pretty good live act as well, hopefully their new stuff will be just as good
Throughly nice chaps as well when I met them at SXSW last year
They weren't married
They were just a couple
DIS users - chips on their shoulders?
No way!!! Are you serious??
Venue with no name?
Where the hell is that in Cardiff?????
Shock horror headline
"U2 worth fuck loads of cash and sign deal to make loads more"
Really unbelievable story, who'd have thunk it?
HELLO MR THOMPSON
<whispering> "I think he's talking to you"
...
I'm still confused as to how they are going to determine between "illegal" downloading ,and legal blogs, websites etc
Plus as you say, this is a shocking intrusion of privacy. Next they'll be providing our surfing habits to insurance firms, banks etc. Looking at Cancer on wikipedia? Expect your life assurance quote to go up.....
Live - shite
Saw them the other day, came on stage after two good support acts. Played 6 "songs", three of which were awful instrumentals. Spent far too long inbetween songs bantering with tour mates, quite clearly all three of them were pissed on stage as well
Big disappointment after listening to the EP
Dear God Their New single is shocking
Heard it the other day, actually thought it was bad Scissor Sisters B side until Edith said otherwise.
Truly dire
<clicks link in excitememt>
<ends up disappointed>
Logs off site
Chav-tastic jackets BTW
Not a good look
Did you look for the oldest Coldplay photo you had?
Check out the clown hair on Mr Oxfam
IDIOT
Don't listen then you fuckwit
First
few paragraphs - purporting to be non racist, non xenophobic and not sticking to racial stereotypes
In fact it is, VERY
Jesus God and Mary Mary wept in unison
First the Kuntss and now the Pigeon Dicks
Unbelievably moronic "band", writing shite tunes wrapped in mindnumbingly bad lyrics, it purely music for the drunken fucks and Reading et al
AVOID
Is it just me?
Or is she mighty fine?
So exciting we annouced it TWICE
THE KOOKS FUCKING ROCK
The Feeling - Guilty Pleasure
NO NO
Just NOOOOOOOO
I think not
See

This wins, because it combines fucking god awful name with fucking god awful members
^^ stand corrected
IDM - Intelligent Dance Music apparently
Its just that the names sound so pretentiously bollocks its difficult to take them seriously. Hence my rushed "are these made up?" comment
Toystep/Joystick Jungle, Bassline, Tape Music, Acousmatic, IDM and Screamo
Are these REAL names of musical genres? Who the fuck decides on these fucking stupid names?
Also, that comment from nme.com is one of the most accurate statements I have read about "scene" music - totally on the ball. Shows that not NME readers are brain washed morons
"Brad from the band has injured his wrist whilst on tour,"
Does a wrist break not count as a wrist injury?
