Obviously.

Fantastic set. Jamie looked knackered though.

Tennis - NES
Super Tennis - Master System
Super Tennis - Super Nintendo (totally nothing to do with the Master System version)

My memory's hazy on it though...

Would be ace to witness Xiu Xiu live without going to America.

Sunday daytimes only! (tuts)

is one of the worst buses in Bradford/Leeds. Hourly? Evenings only? Pah - bring back the 755 from days of yore!

I longed for it to have a decent music scene. Now it's fast approaching having one... about 6 years too late.

Albeit patchier than 'The Decline of...'

and while it's good it does have a kind of 'Xiu Xiu with less interesting arrangements'-ness about it.

The Filthy Little Angels label also have a load of free music out this week via their website:
www.filthylittleangels.com

Quality stuff it is too!

All I can think of is 'I Am Kurious Oranj" by The Fall.

I've never heard such an over-compressed dirge. The volume level 'pumps' so much it makes the track unlistenable. It's like the mastering studio teaboy had a go at the controls and they released his version.

I have to say I really enjoyed the first album. Haven't heard the second one yet but this track doesn't bode well.

Blimey.

Good tactic!

remixes and videos. That's usual way they do these things. Not usually worth buying again.

and are really good live.

Graham from the band did a free netlabel release called 'Earlids' under the name Analog last year. It was one of my favourite albums of the year.

and nearly bought it without knowing anything about it for some reason.

I may actually buy it now.

but an odd choice for a single.

That's my favourite Yoko Ono track. Just her shouting "Why" for five minutes while John Lennon plays a funk bassline.

Or 'Why Not' which is the same but slower with Yoko wailing, instead of shouting "Why".

Works for me!

because as any regular round here will know - Grammar is God!

The Cult of U2 - a scary thought.

just call me sub-ed :)

But it looks like on the 19th of December they're playing at a place called 'JoJo's' in a place called Madame.

Looks like the camera had a cateract.

so we haven't massively lost out.

it's not very good.

But obviously they won't.

The kids at the school work at would hang you for a statement like that!

a really good title.
Or a really bad one.

But I feel really old now a special edition's out of this album.

He was brought up in the cult and drifted away when he went to New York as a teenager. Interesting stuff.

And I wouldn't call a cult with membership in thousands, rather than millions, based on a quack theory and money-making scam a religion!

But I think they've never played it live because they couldn't work out how to.

Or something.

and he doesn't sing it.

when he was guest-editing!

Well, maybe.

7 full CDs takes about 3 minutes to copy. Have 15 of those machines lined up and you'll have 1000 in under 15 minutes!

Not that you'd want 1000 Keane CDs.

He was very short. And he was a little scared of me (long story).

Anyway, I don't own enough Bright Eyes stuff, so this might well be getting slung on the iPod (especially if it's on eMusic).

I just enjoyed looking at the pictures.

I must be regressing to childhood.

and then I realised that no, you really were quoting a twelve year-old comedy sketch. Top stuff :)

You're right in American grammar, where a band *is* good, whereas in English grammar a band *are* good. This site is based in England and people who resort to grammar and spelling corrections to support their arguments have run out of interesting things to say. So, I rule in favour of manofhonour.

He looks less cool than Richard Madely did in the same outfit.

A bizarre location compared with the others but just a few stops on the 41 away from my house. Bargain!

Tesco probably still sell it if the label have paid for space for a priority release.

I suppose all this just helps Beck look more 'alternative' than he otherwise would do. He was talking about making albums an interactive experience in an interview in Wired last month. Who cares about chart placings when the 'cool crowd' think you're forward thinking and original?
