but even the idea of them coming back over to do some live shows is massively enticing...cue discovery

really excited. sounds lovely.

audio's sound quality for live music is hit and miss at best, but agreed that the field's live show always feels a bit patchy. good review.

'the insider' has a lot of extremely valid points. it's more than just a valid point to say that championing 'bands of the people' has become somewhat of a faux pas these days, and the use of the phrase 'guilty pleasure' is, to me, also abhorrent.

if something is a pleasure, why should it be guilty? bands like paramore deserve the acclaim they get right now as they are spearheading a collective of accessible music that can cross boundaries without proviso.

as for within the journalism and industry circles, that is certainly where the class war resides. music is an art form, and in that, an ocean of opinion can be formed. of course it is self destructive, but music idealists will always want to be involved in music, whether that is detriment to it's business element or not.

this shall without a doubt be bought in my lunch break. can't wait.

and it does seem fucking brilliant. i did expect a 9, but that to me is a good thing. hurrah

and that just wouldn't be right

great review as well, greatly in depth. good work.

and one of the core things i really loved about this album, as mentioned in the article, was how they came about making it. it's a perfect example of community within music, not to mention an antidote for all things capitalist in music. while the band must have struggled in a financial sense, the passion and energy they exuded is going to be difficult to match.

i remember seeing toby in brighton when the band were supporting hell is for heroes. he said he was basically homeless and had the look of an 'into the wild' style nomad about him. i shall have to look into his solo stuff now as i imagine it's gonna be good. must get colour's anthology too, and now i can't wait to hear topics either.

emotion overload. thank you mmisl. you did us all proud!

good stuff

will definitely invest in that. as well as some time on this sweetly compiled spotify effort.

it is a classic album, and if you can still appreciate the likes of promise ring/rival schools/JEW then you should love this!

that first paragraph encapsulated years 15-20 of my life. good job!

would be an interesting one live as well i'd reckon

now for the rest...

nearby goodness

this excites me

the people who have put you onto gold panda are correct. 'tis great stuff.

having found bibio through his clark remix i was intrigued. and still am. but this review claims my negative feeling, a personal investigation may invite some positives...anyway, good stuff

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

i see that happening for sure

additional point, it really did all stem from pitchfork didn't it! maybe it is all their fault?

susan boyle...

well not susan boyle herself (that wouldn't be 'on', obviously), but more the media's insatiable lust for breakdowns and obvious mental insecurities. ie let's laugh at the crazies! they'll make us feel better!

what should make us feel better is that wavves are pretty much toss

after seeing him liive with band at atp last year. was a good higlight of the festival for me but was kinda disappointed noone was really there

the curse of the re-release

it's definitely an annoyance

is a beautiful little touch!

and that video is something else too...

agreed tho, the 'cliched' faster tracks do stand out but think his obvious all round musical talent is better spread through these 12 tracks than the 18 of ultravisitor! winner! although, the 3" that came with it is....interesting

...is what it's called

got it the other day and had the headphones on start to finish. a wonderful work! good review too...

my friend bought t on the day of relesase and got a free 3" mini cd with eight other tracks on, much more like 'ceramics is the bomb' era (chris) clark...anyone know anything about this? i need those tracks....arguably on a par with the album itself but still a but more up-tempo and 'accessible' (first word that came to mind)....

great review! now....must find £££ with which to find said albums (£££ meant in th most p.i.m.p. way possible...)
