Firstly, I do not condone file-sharing of easily purchasable music / films / games. I get most of my digtial music from e-music and buy most of my CD's directly from the artist / label at shows.

File-sharing is NOT solely an evil, nine-headed monster destroying the music industry, as you would like us to believe (although if anyone DID swallow your half-baked statistics I'd worry for their sanity and reasoning), it can be a fantastic way to share, educate and promote. I am a memeber of various communities that have sprung up around music blogs that share music (using exactly the same method you demonize here) that is either, no longer availiable to buy or extremely difficult to find. In many, many cases, downloading a rare or out-of-print record from a music blog has lead me to explore their other material and buy much of their back catalogue.

The 'solution' you offer of restricting internet access is an awfully draconian measure and comes across like you are fully advocating government controlled information censorship. Which is something I passionatly stand against.

As such, I really can't bring myself to continue to read a website whose editorial staff's views conflict so heavily with my own.

So long, DiS.

so I will be wearing a Senseless Things 'Homophobic Asshole' shirt, first band shirt I ever bought.

that I wasted reading this 'news'. ET was a fucking paedo.

is math-rock where none of the numbers add up and your calculator breaks.

I love Polvo BTW.

Foals are a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy of math-rock.

If hoards of Skinscore kids rush out to buy copies of Spiderland and Don Cab 2 to jump on the math bandwagon it's only a good thing, right?

meh.

ought to reform to play.

expect this event to actually happen some time in 2012.

Fucking amazing lineup though. All we need to make it perfect is GvsB, Rodan and Swervedriver to all reform and play.

died for THIS? Watered down commercial drivel, destined to soundtrack some fleeting moment of cunty teenage angst on Skins. No thank you.

.. have more indie cred than Blood Red Shoes. Cat On Form were Brighton's answer to Fugazi and now BRS are mersh pop slutz.

The Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes show is goning to be fucking amazing.
When the hell are Froburg's new band, Obits, gonna play over here?

...should play in the foyer, whilst I'm in the cinema watching the movie. Then my ears would only have to suffer their atonal caterwauling when I popped out for a Westler's Hotdog in the interval.
