our (the school's) first proper non-forum mention on Drowned in Sound. rejoice.

14th December - Clwb Ifor Bach - Loose & Businessman Christmas Party! £5.00

Trading Things In by The Voluntary Butler Scheme which is very good, great video too on youtube

Lens.

actually see the Clientele? or was it just people waiting at the front for Vampire Weekend?

I think my highlights were Man Man, Times New Viking, Los Campesinos!, Lens Lekman and Of Montreal.

that every other festival headliner has been announced in a news item on here, so it's pretty consistent to me. and i'm glad indietracks is getting the coverage it deserves this year.

between westgate street (gate 4 apparently?) and st mary street - that side street with the burger king on i think or one of them, it's a basement venue, someone's just started doing gigs there

is ace. everybody go go.

indeed.

one day cardiff, one day..

is this supposed to be a 'Christmas' song? i'm confused. why no review the first time around anyway? i think this is one of the best singles of all year. they are also extremely underrated compared to some shite around at the moment.

well apparently someone's trying to get them to play Cardiff for something in November though i don't know if that's happening yet. I myspaced them once ages ago about playing Loose but they ignored me. HINT. i'm sure they're a very busy bunch though..

SO good

allowed to do that? I thought not. i'm on there too! buy it.

and he's also doing a free in-store at Spillers Records in Cardiff at 5pm on 15th October!

Hugs Back are ace! and The Wave Pictures and My Sad Captains hooray for them.

If you get tickets for the Cardiff show then you can also pick up free tickets for an in-store performance just after 5pm on 15th Oct at Spillers Records, first-come-first-served. More info: http://www.myspace.com/looseclub yey

off

and, if you're gonna use songs on adverts why don't they at least ditch the old ones? how many times do I have to be reminded about Republica?!! it's bad enough on the football.. they are making far too much money a long time after they departed (i'm assuming they split up..?!!!)

and i'm NEVER going down Electric Avenue (actually i walked past it once and it looks a little scary..)

really considering writing some kind of idiot song to make money now. what rhymes with ipod?

i'd sadly forgotten that it was polyphonic spree on the sainsbury ads, it just drifted over my head as the sainsbury/jamie oliver theme tune.

it's just another new way of getting my attention for their product, it's got nothing to do with band exposure. i'd be concerned about what product / corporation i'm advertising and how my song was chopped up + talked over, which the band wouldn't have any say on.

i'm assuming there's more money in music on adverts rather than on a film, does anyone know? i guess it's quicker money + not enough to tempt those who feel they need the cash into using their music on a film rather than ads.

i've found myself asking the question of whether i should just make up a beaty generic sht novelty NME indie hit that 'the kids' would love under a different name, maybe it could even go on an advert, or maybe i could produce a really bad dance record for the summer - surely they're easy peasy..

i got offered Steriogram for a show a couple of months ago and it was basically sold to me as "remember Steriogram off-of that advert??!! well they're back!!"...

Why is there london + liverpool? the liverpool events should have been in Wales. I LOVE Os Mutantes.

Kenickie!

oooo thanks

i heard they were on a playlist of his. dave fly them over to support!

does anyone know if anything fun like this / any festivals happening in early July in New York? that's when i'm going. why can't this be then boo.

yes i know she was STILL TRYING REALLY HARD for cardiff but they changed agent and didn't get there in time and then they just ignored me. arghhh.

yes shady bard are painfully missing from this! i love them so.

The Cribs are the most genuine band around for a long time. More genuine than most of the rubbish that was on the awards last night, and they're amazing live and their music is great. What a shambles last night was. Fking Monkey jokeshops.
