you call his lyrics "simplistic" and "hollow", whereas, for me, they are all the more refreshing for it. BB doesn't play around with metaphors or "hidden agendas" too much - he makes cheesy seem cool.

The songs are tremendously well crafted, you can feel the love oozing out of them.

It's not for everyone, but it is certainly a hell of a lot better than anything Jack White has put out in the last 5 years.

Arsenal FC

Indeed.

?

No mention of 'Falling Down', one of Noel's finest moments I reckon...

The word "Excellence" is somewhat surprisingly followed up by the 7/10, in my opinion.

Good to me.

I don't know what the fuss is about.

Of posting these lyrics yet?

They days of everyone with devil horns, leaning over the barrier with beer and god knows what flying everywhere...

People spend too much time looking through their phones to really enjoy it.

I've thought that for a while...

at one point Hetfield said something along the lines of "call your mummy's later, youtube won't make you famous" - so I have read...

Oh, and that 'no t-shirts' at bands gigs is everything that is wrong with music fans these days.

After nearly 30 years of hard rocking, touring, drink, drugs and being BBQ's by pyro???

I think he look good for his 45.

Looks like he would eat you alive.

I think the girl looks the hardest one in Glasvegas. I'm thinking some in-between-breast-suffocation would be her style.

Happy 'Talli' are number 1.

very true.

Scored an away penalty at old Trafford in 1993. The same trick wasn't repeated until 2007.

I love these guys... Mica is just mesmerising.

The sound at the Macbeth wasn't the best though, I've literally heard them sound 10 times better. But I heard the sound is always shit at the Macbeth.

And the bouncer there was a douche. he wouldn't let people on the roof garden unless they were smoking!!?? It's not like people were fighting to get out there.

But, anyways, I hope Micachu gets the credit she deserves for her originality and great band.

This is a delicious tantalising, handcrafted review - wild berries embedded in mouthwatering, slick jelly, topped with silky smooth sponge and the best cream squeezed from only Devonshire farmhouse cows of the upmost quality.

I'm hungry now!!

to listen to wth a hangover

?

too

Turns you on.

That's codswallocks,

I saw them support A Place To Bury Strangers at Madame Jojos and they blew my head off, in a good way.

Not often a band maes an impression on me like that. I was a Jay Reatard virgin until then.

It's nice to see some no-nonsense shit rather than the too much-nonsense shit that is flooding us in this day and age of fly away crap.

a toast to that.

No problems.

!

I mean Ms. Shaw.

I am not on first name terms!

contacted her personally, not wrote a petty comment.

OK, if the review was good why would he criticise the writing? because it is in the public domain? It's free advertising, the site could just pull it.

Who is gonna say: "I like the sound of that but the way the review was written... hmmm, nah I won't buy it now"?

natalie doesn't have to answer him.

He did his job: Made the album
She did hers: reviewed it.

I applaud her for resisting a reply. It showed integrity. Chris TT was forced to look at the blank space below his comment and think about what he had done.

for him to write a post just to criticise the quality of the writing.

That's laughable - he wouldn't do it if it was a good review. Or would he?

Why, why why? w-w-w-w-wh-why why?

No class, just end up sounding pompous going on about key changes. No one repects anybody who can't awallow a review, good or bad.

There would be no point fighting Chris TT, he'd just end up pulling you up on your every move and every time you countered one of his punches he'd really try to correct you on it.

He needs to learn to take criticism on board or just ignore it.

What you're saying is they're the best band in the world? Just to be clear...

"soundscape music that haunts, mystifies and embraces us all at once."

You'd sound like Nathan Barley.

I think the fact that it (waaaaaay too) expensive, as is the food in the 30 odd stalls dotted around and the 20 quid t-shirts... It felt a bit of an in-joke for them to not play lots of the big hitters. Trying too hard to piss off EMI me thinks.

I still loved it though. Money well-spent.

it was partly due to a conscious effort to ignore EMI's 'Best Of' compilation.

Amazing sound, the band were spot on. Thom Yorke is captivating. Love his moves. Great to see a musician so into his work.

Felt the set was a little disjointed and at times self-indulgent - at 45 quid a pop anyway - with softer numbers in between more upbeat ones far too often. The atmosphere was prevented from flowing.

I was so looking forward to Karma Police and The Bends but that was because it was my first time.

That's Radiohead for you. In a good way.

gay people just come up with a word that would offend straight people? becuase straight people wouldn't be offended. It's time to lighten up people.

Plus gay people love using the term 'fag-hag' and others so what's the difference? Are they not offending anyone.

"My gay family & friends" hahaha

Oh, shut it.

He created a news story that actually reached an anti-emo website like this... So he did something right, no? Well then.

Jim Davidson?

Me and Pure Groove.

I'm sad... Why does everything need to move towards the magnet of Shoreditch?

If Archway lost Quazar too it would be really finished.

.

I didn't know. Thanks Kev.

... errrrrm... OK, you got me. Wow, never had a fellow lesbian call me that before!

And I like it!

I guess you'd pavement over the poor gardens!! ;op

We kind of agree on things.

My posts throughout this blog have defended the rights of Kling Klang, not on the basis of law, but just plain human understanding with a wink and a handshake. It was naive and perhaps unrealistic of me, but I am an old-fashioned romantic... what can I say?

"If Kraftwerk give the English band Kling Klang a really hard time over this I will be very disappointed."

I was glad to read that... I have felt all along that Kraftwerk's methods have been a little strange. I'm sure Kling Klang would have been happy to be contacted in an informal manner, told the legalities and been given the chance to sit down a talk about a possible resolution. This would have prevented any kind of news story from getting out there too... It would have been ridiculous for 'TBBFKAKK' to disclose the information to anybody outside the two bands and their parties - if anything, a leakage would have given Kraftwerk a reason to threaten a law suit (if that makes sense!?). This would have been much better for Kraftwerk, although I still argue that the story in it's self has given TBBFKKAK some much welcome publicity, although bad. What band has never had bad publicity???? It's all relative!

Kraftwerk's methods were a shame because it made it seem as if they did not like Kling Klang. This may be the case but it would be more understandable if directed at, say, a twee band or something.

I can't fault your passion for Kraftwerk, as musicians/artists... It is nice to see someone with such passion and I am highly respectful of the links with German art as a whole, it is distinctive and brilliant stuff... Just glad you agree that you are very pro-Kraftwerk and maybe a little blinded by their work(?) - it's no bad thing, just glad you are being a little more objective now, accepting that not everyone sees these things like you...

Perhaps Kling Klang were naive from the start but it is not like they are a buzz band coming out of nowhere after getting together last year - nine years is a long time, they probably think of the word as their own now and I hope they find a solution that doesn't totally undermine what they have created over the years.

The Klang Kling Klang

or Klingerty Klangerty

or Kliiing Klaaang

or Kling! Klang!

or Shaftjerk

an angry closet lesbian... Just let it all go and you will realise that the grass is greener on the other side.

Pun-based support slots for Bruce Springsteen at the Emirates to be honest... You should give it a try Ian-T, but you sound more like a cricket man to me ;op

Looks like Kling Klang have abandoned their manager... What else have I got to do?

Ian-T - the problem is that your entire argument all along has been too one-sided. You have never given any breathing space to Kling Klang, unless you have been prompted. You insisted they were trying to gain added success by using the name and you always, always felt that Kraftwerk were 100% in the right... It just seems like you are giving your case to the jury while the rest of us have been accepting the fact Kraftwerk are in the right while also realising that the situation needn't be like this. Why couldn't they drop them an email or a phone call or go for a coffee? they had to go in with the bulldozers straight away. I just think it is a shame but you have been completely one-sided all along it just seems like you are trying to convince people a little bit too much.

You speak about them as if the are Godlike and people should feel 'eternally gratified' for their work in the music business and never ever try to step on their toes because they are so much better than anyone else. That is what it has seemed liked.

Hence the reason people would be suspicious you were an employee of Kraftwerk.

.

Are the mutt's nuts... Not enough people dress like that these days!

Kling Klang swing between headblowing riffs and music that makes you feel like you are playing Castlevania on the NES. Just check 'em out.

Come on man! I was finding somewhere in which you were misguided and it was calling the manager 'he'. It was all in good humour.

You seem to have the sense of humour of Kraftwerk themselves.

I know Kraftwerk have the right to refuse people the use of the name, I just feel that it is a shame that they are threatening to sue Kling Klang. It is a shame.

I don't for one second believe (do you?) that Kling Klang the band intended to take from them or misguide the public. It's just a cool name.

Is it becsuse they are scousers you feel they are a bunch of thieves?... Joke!

Come on Ian, I know there is a heart beating somewhere beneath that metal frame.

.

I can't believe they got away with no drugs... Don't tell me the car was actually clean??

Maybe the band were glad they weren't real and didn't find the half kilo of above the bit you pull down to block the sun from your eyes (what's it called again!!?)
