Its pretty good so far, much more immediate than The Winter Of Mixed Drinks

I can't decide - much as I'm equally confused by Lady Gaga

I might try and give this a spin, some of her stuff I like the sound of

And still great

The Armless Dragon has been shut for about 3 months, and was going downhill for about 2 years before that
If you need somewhere quality to eat that is reasonable, try Casanova's just off Westgate street very near Clwb Ifor Bach. Top quality Italian

But I thought it would get panned (rightly) for "shooting fish in a barrel"

Number 1 and 2 in this list have the same manager, hmmmmmm. So its not all about who you know eh?
Number 4 haven't even released a single or played a gig yet - how the fuck can a band that have yet to be seen playing to the public be on a list like this
Number 5 - Bloggo-tastic

This list gets worse every year. Here we are everyone, this is what YOU must like this year, fuck making your own mind up

Is Cougar a naughty word on DiS?

This sounds interesting, I might give it a go

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?

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

First listen, sounds pretty good

Aren't LC! from bloody Cardiff???

Quite looking forward to hearing their new stuff

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

very VERY WRONG

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

... shame it didn't

Too harsh?

fucking rip off in Cardiff. Cheapest tickets £55, up to £75

KoL bore me to tears live. No crowd interaction, no charisma. They're like musical robots on stage

Supported by Fighting with Wire and Gindrinker - fucking great night in store!

... it was deemed a success because the Boosh crew were killed by lightning.

Sadly not

Please research your sarcastic historical based puns correctly

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

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)

This is NOT an accurate description of this women

WHAT is the attraction?

... the drowned in sound label?

takes ages to load some wanky advert then falls over

WTF?

Is calling me a muppet for a slight grammatical error really warrented?

They actually sound fairly interesting

That Friday lineup for all three stages is dire beyond belief

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 were just a couple

No way!!! Are you serious??

Where the hell is that in Cardiff?????

"U2 worth fuck loads of cash and sign deal to make loads more"

Really unbelievable story, who'd have thunk it?

<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.....

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

Heard it the other day, actually thought it was bad Scissor Sisters B side until Edith said otherwise.

Truly dire

<ends up disappointed>

Logs off site

Not a good look

Check out the clown hair on Mr Oxfam

Don't listen then you fuckwit

few paragraphs - purporting to be non racist, non xenophobic and not sticking to racial stereotypes

In fact it is, VERY

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

Or is she mighty fine?

THE KOOKS FUCKING ROCK
