aaaaah_ow

new album is so so good.

great album, though not up to the peaks of red house painters.

too true, basil, too true.

are brand new so that's a pretty stupid suggestion. give them some time!

come on, for fucks sake.

they can be lumped EXACTLY into At Dawn-era My Morning Jacket.

But for all i know it will be brilliant after a few weeks.

it took me roughly a year to get into It Still Moves and now it's one of my favourite albums full stop.

its an interesting enough story. jesus.

its unbelievable how regularly people complain that this or that or this or that isn't a bleeding news story. How can anyone be interested in repeatedly critiquing what flies as a news story?

this is a fucking music website - accept stories on music. Nobody says they have to be breaking news.

What twat sets these rules?!

but still nothing on parachutes.

his solo show was cancelled in 2004 at same venue. this'll be amazing..

how do people not know manu chao still???
jesus

three archaic, vaguely fun acts i wouldn't pay to go and see if they came to my town

this will spoil the grass for Neil Young on July 6th...also at Hop Farm

:(

seem so uninspiring this year???

and Zuma,

I'd also make a very real shout for Greendale - still probably my favourite Neil album and his most underrated by some distance.

Also - On the Beach: fun?! Have you even heard Ambulance Blues??? It's bleak as anything.

Don't think i haven't noticed.

(it's a good thing of course)

nice guy tho he is?!

He's a self-righteous, preaching hippo

patronising twat.

Worst name ever?

Only Dour can compete but that's probably just an unfortunate translation. Yes, this is the worst. Actually maybe V. No, i'm right, it's this.

guitar. HA.

some are utter bollocks. That 40 minute one for instance. I can't stand that kind of mindless shite. Absolute torture.

Why do that when you can do something as awesome as a cover of Mr Big Stuff.

Why though?

that's far more explicitly prejudice than anything in OMM.

Imagine if a 14 year old boy from Eton who has just started a band hears 'death to Eton Rock'. It's not very nice or fair is it.

does that make sense?

The book is great too; i've just started it. It's nearly half price (for a new copy) if you order from Amazon.

Also i like the interspersed videos on these interviews..a nice touch.

Isn't that a tad racist?

quite impressive
most of the best is in the essence
for this rap shit that I stand for
expanding more to the big screen
bill gates dreams
but it seems youd rather see me in jail
with state dreams
want me off the scene fast
but good things last
like your favorite m.c. still makin' some mean cash
first rapper to bring a platinum plaque
back to the projects
but you still wanna hate, be my guest
I suggest

than a joke. And it's true, people always bang on about how old he is or how finished he is! And neither is true.

Nice review though, sounds like a trip worth making!

they didn't play material from those albums...they never do. If you knew the band better, you'd know they haven't played things from Lonesome Crowded West for about five years. And they did end with Doin' The Cockroach anyway.

They also played Broke from Building Something Out Of Nothing which was a lovely surprise, though you may not have recognized that one.

featuring Isaac Brock and Spencer Krug?

How can 8 be a masterpiece?

That's not very consistent now is it. Pitchfork's rating system is more reliable it must be said.

You went to Wireless, took acid and woop de doo suddenly it wasn't so bad after all. Well done mate.

last bit of second one is very funny.

It's so true people think of glastonbury as some otherwordly experience. But it's really not, 95% of the time.

This was clearly a great gig, something i think the review puts across nicely.

Don't read the site if you don't like it!

Deal with it as Tracy would say.

You wonder why they bother really - crap musicianship, intrusive promotion and they clearly don't practice very often. Pining to jump on a Bonde do Role bandwagon but with so little talent...Quite embarrassing all in all.
