@ MurkyB, you sick arse.

Me too!

Brixton was fab last Nov, and I'll be there again this time around!

just words!

Canna make head nor tail of this review, but the albums a cracker that's for sure!

musicOMH

liked it... 5 stars....

shame

Such a shame, Fopp is now closing, just heard on 6 Music.

dogger

really thought this album was dogshit to begin with, but after a few plays (loved the 1st one) there's some keen numbers on this.

Better Late than Never

Got this at HMV yesterday for bob all. Worth waiting for. Lovely stuff.

Moolah

Whats the pay like - minimum wage I hope!

difficult 3rd listen....

however slowly growing on me, like late daffs..... good album.

crap fi

Like a really bad version of Hard Fi on booze - awful band.

too right

Agree 100% - I went in 2004 loved it. Now I'm the grand old age of 30 I'd rather go to gigs in London and stay in nice hotels, rather than slum it with a load of dopeheads for 3 days not bathing, and crapping on top of other peoples crap in a makeshift bog - ewww!

roadmender

looking fwd to all this - yeah the Roadmender closed, then was bought and reopened not so long ago!

It's....

great news - got our tickets over a week ago from TicketMaster for't Apollo.

Rammy

Jim Smith, spot on!!

This LP, whether it comes, or not, I ain't bovvered.

Hit me Baby

This one hit me straight away, there are some rate catchy numbers on this one, and for me this has been a long time coming. Roll on a full tour.

Agreed

Superb review, for me a 10 cos it was the first album that got me into Pulp, and I have very fond memories of that time of my life when I was 17.
So happy to be able to get the various demo's on these re-issues!

Grimaced face...

Are you having a laugh?

Is he having a laugh!!

pants

I mean they had a few listenables on that LP, but a whole pile of duffers. Saw them live supporting B+S, and they were shite, no-one was watching them, they just made noise basically!

tabs

I thought Phil's tabs were knackered and he couldn't gig anymore?

nothing like Suede!

The difference is The Feeling are great big piles of steaming turds.

Straw Bear

Well the Indy said today basically this was a pile of dirge - who do I believe? It has a nice cover though, I know the Straw Bear.......

that I dont like it

Three listens and it's going on ebay, proper dirge I tell thee.

starr

It is amazing, I will only be getting it out of the CD player to play Moz's new un in the morning!

But no but.......

Can't stand the whiny cow meself!

Grr

Can't buy this in shitty scabby Corby, the grim town I work in, so have ordered from Amazon, I can't wait to get this!

Flapjacks

This is awful news, truly shocking. We live in Peterborough - Nottingham is too far for gigs, London is only reachable at weekends, so that leaves Northampton and Cambridge.

Ok so it's still got the Soundhaus but it's a bit like Petereborough's Met Lounge - Ok for upcoming turns, nothing more.

If I had the money I'd open it myself as a venue!

late arrival

Just discovered these - they were playing as pre-band music for Starsailor last week - as a result of which I've been to get the album and I love it to pieces.

yay!

Got two for Cambridge after a long wait on the phone today - I can't wait!

Alfie - Crying At Teatime

I've got all of Alfiie's previous stuff, but it is generally patchy.

I did get the 'Your Own Religion', as I loved the track, a right brassy tart of a number.

In two minds whether to hunt out the further gems on this album - great review though.

GLC: Your missus has a viral infection... or somet

pure piss take, but done well, and semi-catchy, in the right mood.

Virgin launch new alternative to Xfm

Nothing'll beat 6music every in my opinion.

It's all we have on (well I do put the TV now and then), until the missus hears something she hates, and only then will I put Virgin on for 10 minutes, at least they steer away from the standard MOR pot after 10pm, although I'm bound to hear Tracey Chapman's 'Fast Car' at least once a week!

Brendan Benson - Alternative To Love

A good solid offering in typical BB style, though I agree with the last caller, Lapalco is preferred.

Re: Where's me fanbase? Sultans Of Ping return!

Ah.. I remember now (looking in my collection), didn't there 2nd LP have that 'Teenage Punks' track.

'Teenage Punks from Planet Sexy Love!!'

Where's me fanbase? Sultans Of Ping return!

Great news, though they little more than a fun rock punk outfit.

I've got 'casual sex in the cineplex' on now, as a 'take me back' moment - they were fab supporting Carter USM back in the day!

Did they do any other albums?

Al

Long-View - Mercury

Anyone knwo why the album's being re-released, two years on, with a new mix of one of the tracks, and 2 new (i think) tracks??

I don't mind these guys at all, but certainly very lowgoldy and look what happened to them?


The Decemberists - Picaresque

Really looking forward to getting this on Monday - I only heard them for the 1st time yesterday !

Oasis to premier new video on Friday

too right i was anyway, you were bothered enough to read my post, so, err, NER.

Oasis to premier new video on Friday

New video - bothered!

Yeah come on Oasis, hurry up and have the umpteenth brotherly tiff and split up.

You could start another Beatles covers band or summat.

The Tears - Here Come The Tears

Love this album, it'll be in my top 10 of the year.

I can't find a bad track on it, Apollo 13, probably is my least fave, if I had to choose.

Belle And Sebastian - Push Barman To Open Old Woun

It's only 3 6 9 seconds of light that my B+S collection lacks, and so I'll be picking this compilation up.

Have to agree with theguywithnousername, if you've only got into B+S with the last LP, then you must hear these songs.

Al

This April: Things to do in Cambridge When You're

well I was selling a ticket for The Tears on eBay, but A. it's a single ticket (missus can't make it) and B. it's not sold out - so I don't hold out much hope of selling it!

I may well go after all! Sad Al on his own.

HAL to headline UK tour in May

Well they sounds kinda 60's, kinda Thrills ish but where I hated The Thrills, I like these guys - saw them supporting Doves, and now will visit them play locally at the Met Lounge.

Alf

Idlewild - Warnings / Promises

I like it, a grower that's for sure. And I loved the last album, and sometimes play Hope is Important, but only sometimes mind.

Re: Idlewild

I am waiting for those royalmail muppets to deliver the goddam album - it was sent to me the friday before it was released, and it still hasn't come!!

desperate to hear it - anyway Cd-wow are going to send me another copy if the letterbox doesn't rattle Monday.

AL

Geneva - Weather Underground

Good album, though for me, Further is the only one that I roll out from time to time in fit of nineties revival.

Al

Oasis announce details of new single and album

1st two albums - good in their day, deserve the odd play once a year - the rest of the stuff, well just throwaway dad-rock in my opinion.

Won't be buying that's for sure, and I ain't heard it yet.

Lamacq goes five days a week on 6music

I own 2, count em, digital radios, get me.

Love 6 music, it rocks, and Steve Lamacq is king of indie!

I agree, 6music is the new radio 1, it's cutting edge.

Illness forces Ben Folds to reschedule dates to 2005

Yeah get well soon, my revised tickets for Warwick came through today, we'd got hotel booked and everything!

Digital Radio Movin' On Up

I love my DAB radio, got a basic Pure Evoke 1 and a speaker upgrade, use it in the bedroom, for 6music and Virgin mostly!

Where I live though (peterborough) there is no XFM though, so I have to listen to that through the TV on Sky, or on the net.

Hope of the States: Guitarist Found Hung - Police Make Statement

Shocking news, hope the band can continue in his memory.
