Why is DiS so embarrassingly obsessed with Barack Obama?

Where the hell did you get the idea to post this as a discussion?

I'm sure this will get lost in the mass of comments but

"the record industry is only making 5% of the money it could potentially be making" is the silliest thing you've ever written.

a) Lots of people don't pay for downloads. I never would, for one. So they're paying for CDs and vinyl. I'm sure that makes up more than 1% of all the music downloaded or bought.

b) Come on. Do you really think there's a demand for people to be spending 20 times more of their income on music than they are now? lol at you if so.

Didn't bother reading after that.

New low

Phoned-in vocals and Albini producing?

That will be the flattest, most boring album ever made.

Completely embarrassing

What are the odds?

One of my favourite bands ever

God bless them. This is another great album.

"Bashing Bono"

lol

Yeah

He said he was gay so he could take you snorkelling. You know that baby you've got? That's his.

Really good band

but, as with 99.9% of NMH comparisons, this one is totally inaccurate.

Oh Arcade Fire

Why must you be so shit?

If anyone reads this

is this likely to sell out beforehand, or will I be alright paying on the door?

LOL

"shooting"

They may be shit,

but it is kind of a positive thing, on the whole.

They were lacking something

I enjoyed RAT:ATT:AGG. A vaguely structured mess that made sense for some reason or other. Snowden very good too.

I thought about my mum

:-(

I am interviewing Snowden tomorrow

For this reason, I hope they are nice

But sometimes bands you know

want to add you.

These kinds of lawsuits

are a helpful reminder that human beings with more money than sense are almost always enormous cunts.

I'd like to see the figures that show Universal has seriously suffered from the existence of Myspace.

:-D

It is, actually, yeah

I love it in there. So small.

Looks very good

It's times like this I wish I lived in Nottingham. Actually, I wish I lived in Nottingham quite often, but I prefer it here.

Thank you.

Last album

was really really strong, I thought.

I don't like Bjork

in the least. I think The Meadowlands should probably have won. That or cLOUDDEAD. I wonder if anybody cares. No, I'm 99% sure they don't. :-(

Rubbish.

This band is rad as fuck

I need to get this

6 is right

Fairly frustrating. On Ghosts, he mixes experimentation and an actual song. It's amazing. The rest of the album, he keeps them entirely seperate. It's not amazing.

PLEASE

let my card come before this sells out. I'll have dirty dirty sex with doseone if it does.

Good review

They were special. A very positive evolution, one way or another.

I'm supposed to be interviewing him end of the month

Didn't like the bit about being tired of interviews. He's going to attack me.

I like this single

quite a lot. Maybe not nine a lot, but a lot all the same.

Smartarse

You could get a cheap 4-track

and record your own music on it a long time ago.

This will end up just

being a list of artists everyone has heard of.

What a terrible terrible band

Much as they might deny it, it's a wonderful sign they're finally winding down to give up.

How frequently

do film sets collapse? Got to be worth a shot.

My friend was trying to convince

me she's the best artist of recent times and cited her "working class roots". That was an argument that didn't last long. I love Ryan. He falls for all these kinds of things.

And the picture

Good work

P Diddy probably did too

He is, after all, black. It's a fair cop.

Pretty much the whole thing

blew me away, yet again. See The Light, in particular, is up there with the very best he's done. Of course, it's going to be almost impossible for him to ever match the level of GMS again, but I think the new album's really really good all the same, and this is one of the highlights.

Can't believe you gave this a 6

It's absolutely brilliant. Dangermouse's work on it is great. Clever and engaging without ever moving in on Linkous's spotlight. Fantastic song.

And labelling it a "quick-fix slice of summery indie-pop" is kind of understating Linkous's skill as a songwriter, I'd say. This is a bit more than just that.

Pod sounds awful

Fucking Albini. Last Splash sounds so much better.

I just don't understand why the rock world needs an Outkast

Just listen to Outkast. Stupid teenagers.

Eight is right

Very good record

He did say he might never

sing again. Nothing about rapping.

Complete wank
