Bigger Stronger - Excellent

do a cover of 1999 or something. Ha.

just like Busted were a gateway band for millions of school children who probably are into Foals by now...

shitshitshit

that's how i say it, and i don't really care if i'm wrong.

it will be yellow.

i remember reading something a few years ago about the colour of the sleeves on the cassettes to their early demos. one was blue, one was green and one was yellow.

Feel free to laugh at me when this gets proved wrong.

enjoyed that set very much, he had loads of energy and was so captivating on stage. really cool.

not all, but quite a few i've met. :D

Don't worry though, i'm going to single handedly bring back the trend for those mega baggy jeans which were popular between about 1999-2002. Just give it a few months until it gets a bit warmer...

they've moved on musically, yet they have still retained a pop sensibility and lyrically i think it is fantastic. Beautiful written.

i went to see them yesterday and they performed the album track by track (with the exception of Twenty One). They've got some work to do to get used to working with stems/backing tracks but yeah, they were pretty good.

you have no idea what you're talking about.

They have been going for years and years. I've seen one of their early demo cds and the cover photo is of them standing around trying to look moody (they couldn't have been more than 14, except for the dad of course!).

Manufactured. Ha.

I also thought the first album was rubbish, that's why they didn't live up to the hype in in my opinion rather than their "gimmick". but the quality of the new album isn't just down to Erol Alkan. Have you heard the new Long Blondes album? It's gash mate, just going to show that you can't polish a turd, no matter how slick the producer is.

one of many highlights;

How does it make you feel though when you listen back through all of your work?
Sometimes I put them all on shuffle mode on iTunes. Mostly I only listen to them all when I feel like having a good cry. I open up the memorial book of Princess Diana and I put on the whole collection of my entire works and I look at the mounds of flowers at Buckingham Palace gates and I just weep.

:D :D :D

Ha.

i thought they were doing sessions with that klaxons/SMD producer guy originally?

I don't mind them as band, but Faris just annoys me, trying to come across as this social outcast and weirdo yet he's out practically all the time trying to get recognized. Now he's going out with Peaches Geldof. Does this make him the indie Peter Andre? Haha.

I'll be interested to hear the results of this anyway.

i don't really like the arctic monkeys but i really like this new song he has done, and i'm quite looking forward to hearing the album.

So in this case, yay for side projects!

I would genuinely like to read it.

that song is one of the best "indie pop" songs i've heard in ages. a lovely little love song that is super catchy, but not annoyingly so.

This from a band who's first album i rather strongly disliked.

I didn't care much for the first album but of the few songs i've heard from this album it's going to be fantastic.

done and done.

is too good for them.

that "gaylords" bit was funny though.

saying exactly the same thing. it's strange they're only taking legal action now, though.

they used some of the music and words from the demo version of C16 in Swords of Truth ("Who wrote all the numbers in your body" bit) so it was probably that.

When i saw them a week or so back they didn't play C16 or Infinity Ytinifni either. I enjoyed the set though.

when he started doing his impression of a guitar solo.

yay!

ha

dammit

charrs

plays bass on about half the songs.

one of the songs was recorded in his kitchen. He lives in Angel. Which when i last checked, was in North London.

HA

Rivers you little bitch takin' it from the man!

But yeah my question got asked, hopefully we got more demo albums (with more sftbh songs) soon!

...ahem

aww. she looked well happy. and quite drunk. haha

at least not in it's full unedited glory.

*bada boom tish*

she said he seems really shy and awkward. She asked him for the time or something once and he had a little bit of a fit. Aw.

I really really like them, can't wait for this album.

well, at least the technical side of it. They can't seem to get their heads around the idea of beat-matching and seem pretty oblivious to what exactly a crossfader is.

They write good dance music though, and that is the main thing.

I helped form Ipso Facto.

FACT...O

yah another highlight. Im really excited actually.

i really like the venue though, i've saw so many bands there when i was 15/16. Highlight was seeing the Cooper Temple Clause there. Oceansize too.

he actually seems alright. One of my friends (Gen, she posts on here still i think and she writes fantastic reviews from time to time) i believe she said something along the lines of "your magazine is shit" and all this and he was all like "Yeah, im just there for the money" and stuff like that.

I got a pair of those

of Carter USM.

I haven't listened to XFM for about 3 years. I do miss John Kennedy and Eddie Temple Morris though.

mmhmm.

can't wait for the cd though.

Hoorar!

YEAAAAAAH

No.

I reckon it will be Radiohead on friday, Led Zep or Springsteen Saturday, Kylie Sunday. Mmmhmm.
