Even more depressing if he wasn't paid.

from a man who wasn't even the most talented member in any of the (seminal) bands he was in.

"Hello Dave? Yeah, we'll give you a few quid if you bang on for a bit about social revolution, weed and guitars"

Depressing.

at the Praxis Hagen gallery in Berlin a couple of summers ago. Amongst the assorted 'inspired by' paintings etc. were a bunch of crackers painted with different album covers. It was cool, though I don't think the paint was edible.

In your opinion, which British MCs are better?

I think he's pretty good - a much better exponent of contemporary British folk music than, for example, Fionn Regan etc.

Have you even watched the show?

but as far as his 'abstract comedy' shtick goes, I find someone like Paul Merton infinitely funnier.

And please, please, wake up to Black Books. Dylan Moran's 'curmudgeonly pissed intellectual' character is an abomination, What's-Her-Face is much better in Green Wing, and Bill Bailey's 'lovely idiot' isn't funny either.

wins a different one each year.

Do you just rehash her opinions then?

is an excellent artist, and his work is hardly aimed at those who 'don't like art'. I feel this is a profoundly ignorant comment.

It's truly fantastic.

shitty videos though.

Screaming at foreign musicians and accusing them of holding drugs.
And easy too, I'd imagine. Follow their van from the show, and pull them over down the road a bit in the middle of nowhere.

was more than a little off when they found him, apparently.

They both seem like nice guys, and their live shows are intense and interesting, but everything that I've heard on record sounds pretty identical.

Will be so very good.
An absolute hero of mine.

Except in the Commercial Tavern.
It tastes odd and makes people totally bitchfaced.

with the Ariel Pink reference.

Stealing the communal pot.

bosh

bunch of wankers.
Though, to be fair, any utilisation of the term 'shit-cunt' in an advert is partially redeeming.

is a disgrace. But this record is excellent.

Totally savage.

had any time for any artists who can be pigeonholed in that genre apart from Ye Wiles.
A really great band, doomed to play Tunbridge Wells and Brighton over and over and over.

A very strong song on the record.
I thought that they would probably bosh out Rev. Green as the second single, to be honest.

the yank accent that suggests insincerity, to my ears.

The hackneyed hyperbole at the beginning also annoys me, but credit where it's due: he managed to keep the right side of MES's temper, which in itself is something.

Mais oui.

her excruciatingly dull.

might be corking, though.

?

planned ahead to go and review an evening of music, why get shitfaced & miss two thirds of the bands?
Or was the night a spur-of-the-moment kind of t'ing?

Will be totally sweet.

They're both as bad as each other.

to be honest. I'm sure he's great live, but I'm not totally convinced that it translates to record very well.

He was totally shit at Frieze last year, and I've always thought that a spoken word polemic is dangerous ground.

La Mar is totally hype.

Who else would be in it?
Webbe? La Mar?

N-Dubz.

They'll be slagged too, soon enough.

like the Thekla.

I think. Yes, I'll probably go and see them there.

Hey Colossus are a bit shit though, aren't they?

to compare Nash & Nixey with Dylan.

I was under the impression that 'conjugal' wasn't usually in the lexicon of Emo bands.

But yeah, shit band.

a pretentious fuck though, right?

I actually agree with him in the first paragraph.

He's in the slammer, but Count Grishnak would probably hide in a bin and bang you.

band

the slow integration of transvestites (a la Pink) into the music industry.

I think he's a pretty good producer.
