guardian's jude rogers

was one of them. She was defending the shortlist on one of their blogs a while back.

first

THIS BAND SUCKS NOW COMMENT

would it be too controversial

to say that I own all of these and think that all of them are rather ace?

opposite

here, zavvi are usually cheaper. Really ignorant, ludicrous decision. They've just lost all the DJ trade in a snap, but seeing as even HMV recently got rid of the 12" dance/etc shelf they had, they all seem to no longer care.

so

why didn't you ask him about what he did with British Sea Power?

Yes

you cunt.

tsunami and you stole

are on this is my truth tell me yours.

the holy bible

is one of the greatest albums of all time. end of.

and the

biffy cover is actually pretty good

The covers

on the 7"s of Tristan and Xanadu are surprisingly good.

they were

fantastic when they played northampton last time

can't she and all the others like her

go and die in a hole?

so so bad

if you want to hear just how atrocious she is, look for her cover of Be My Baby. Your ears will bleed.

err

like the Digitalism or the Simian Mobile Disco ones?

to go off on a tangent

I'm currently selling their second single on ebay and it's going at the moment for £10.50. What kind of cunt pays that sort of money for both a 7", especially from such a shit band?

you missed out

the bloc's cover of Nelly Furtado, which is probably the best one of her songs is ever going to sound.

Cunt

proves herself to be a cunt. World ends.

morons

you mean?

Seeing as

Virgin Megastores made a colossal loss last time the accounts were released, I can't see how they're going to survive without the other profitable sections of Virgin subsiding them.

i prefer

'cunt'. Much more succinct.

awful lyrics?

I take it you haven't heard Lily Allen or Kate Nash's efforts recently.

the singer

has a fantastic voice, such a shame that the background is so uninspiring.

the holy bible

is one of the greatest albums ever. What went wrong? (Apart from Richey killing himself, obviously.)

can we not just agree

that Bono and Noel are both cunts?

^

quoted for emphasis

Their remix

of whichever Plan B song was on that 12" was surprisingly good, from what I'd heard of them.

Their singles

are so completely and utterly awful alone that's it hard to imagine they've even stretched it out to a full-length. There seems to be a marketplace for guys just out of their teens to talk about what happened to them at school (or rather make up/rip off the most outlandish things that may have happened to others around them), set it to music, and they get signed up. It's no wonder the likes of FR and Futureheads get pissed off when they either can't get signed or get dropped for complete and utter tripe like Little Man Tate.

Yep

Definitely hate you.

the one with them

is the best thing on it

fucking

awesome

Milburn

are decent but Bromhead's and Tate have to be a couple of the worst bands to come along in a long time.

awful, awful awful

band. Expect them to be huge.

then how come

i bought a copy of it from HMV which clearly had Rough Trade Records on it, not their US label?

persuaded me

to buy the gallows record anyway

great song

great b-sides, and they were great live when I saw them as well.

is that the worst top five ever?

please make it stop.

not a very

controversial one

guilty pleasure

The album is surprisingly good.

so

both then.

Something awful

really is something awful. The front page stopped being funny a long time ago. FYAD is still fun, though.

i read that as wank

unfortunately

The first three songs

are brilliant, then it all goes horribly wrong until industry, which is one of their best. The album really isn't as bad as a lot of people are making out. What made them think "Good Fight" was err, good, is beyond me though.

Left

does grow on you, but i don't think they've ever reached the potential they have or had. Will be a shame if it's true.

the best

by quite a way.

it was shit

they could have at least shown the manics miming along to faster

you missed out the fact

that forward russia went in at number 44. boo to all those that didn't buy eighteen.

also in

today's Guardian.

I sometimes

wonder whether any of the commenters on these reviews actually like music.

they don't

sound anything like hi-fi. And I quite like this, the b-side on the 7" is rather jolly as well.
