is magnificent.

Nothing like the power of advertising to force a reissue. I seem to remember it being ALL OVER the airwaves in France for about a month. Still, it's an ok song. I predict it will get annoying VERY soon.

Great video, so says I.

This album was released JUST AFTER the Mercury / Neptune shortlists came out. A shoe in for the Mercury next year?

I'll probably do a version if I get bored enough.

on that Daniel Johnston song. If there was ever one artist that personifies sadness and misery it's him. But pretty uplifting as well, by virtue of being so despairing.

I will go to this.

I can't believe I missed them. I heard they blew the roof off. And they were on an outdoor stage!

I'll give it a shot. I'm all for keeping an open mind about it. Prove me wrong!

It has absolutely no relevance to what I love about music, and while I'm sure it's important to Sean and many other DiSsers, I would rather read about the people behind the music, not the people behind the industry. I don't begrudge you the right to do this extended feature, and I'm sure many will enjoy it, it's just that it feels like writing about the death of music journalism, as opposed to writing about music, is the final nail in the coffin. But then what do I know.

For a whole week? How about some features about music as opposed to journalism. Sorry I'm just bitter today.

"Oh and Bubbi Morthens was big in the 80s when he was part of the "pönk"" or "punk" scene. Now he's just a money grabbing whingemeister. Still has some decent old songs mind you."

Icelandic Morrissey?

Travelling Wilburys? Certainly has the credentials.

That Duckworth Lewis Method are being looked forward to by DiS, didn't really have them down as cool enough! But I can't wait for it.

Yes, but not actually similar.

sounds pretty exciting. When's it due out?

Was clearly written as an advertising ploy for the DiS sponsored Rollerpalooza in Sheffield.

at the Scott Walker live suggestion. Agreed about this review - seemed to have lost the magic somewhere.

That keys player / sampler / dj ruined it a bit for me. The charming experimental folk lost in a wash of dirty electro beats. Hatherley was great though. Shame they didn't play girl from mars.

It's interesting nonetheless to see a live album given 9 out of 10. Is it really that much better than the recorded ones? Maybe I should give them a chance live.

but being progressively more disappointed with each new release. God what a snob! "I prefer her early stuff".

But live, can't be faulted, many happy memories. Like missing the beginning of Beck at V and not caring.

is the Scott Walker one. But then it is Scott Walker, and he can do NO WRONG.

It's a shame because I was quite looking forward to this. Side projects are a risky game.

I wouldn't expect any less from Warmsley though. Particular faves are Brel and Cooke from those. Usually these DiS mixtapes involve loads of stuff I've never heard of, but I'm down with most of this shit.

this a couple of days ago and it has changed my life.

used for the thumbnail is just brilliant! Good work Wolstenholme.

I stumbled upon Bird almost by accident when he replaced Devendra Banhardt at a gig in France. Slightly overshadowed by Beirut playing before him, but when I revisited Armchair Apocrypha it was just fantastic. This record is definitely a grower, but I adore it now. Insanely jealous of his mad skills. Especially in whistling.

He is a songwriter of whom I am immensely jealous. I hope this album doesn't just annoy me by how good it is and how young he is.

I really like the Shearwater album, but the guy from them seems like a bit of a dick. Or is he being ironic?

but I don't want to give it away. So I won't.

that that is exactly what he does in the video. Sorry.

the Sheffield gig he was going to show this, but didn't have a projector, so just held up some pictures he had drawn and sang it. Lovely stuff.

i done it twice.

Here's a fun game, where will he go next on his trip around the world?

Here is a fun game. Where will he go next on his tour of the world?

was the little bit in the middle where he did solo and did Oliver James and the other one that I have forgotten the name of.

go to both of these. I hope this does not put people off, they will be good gigs.

this album is a grower. at first i was a bit unhappy with the differences between the ep and this, and you have to look a bit harder into the songs, but when you do there are some real gems. and he was ace at the DiS sheffield night, even though it was just solo.

that was me. I ruined an important interview. whoops.

Rob. I give the review a 9. Not gonna be a classic, but definitley one of the best of the year.

but only so I have more chance of hanging out with the legendary party animal that is Rob Webb. If anyone wants to challenge me at indoor football "striker" on the snes then come down. My team's Georgia.

the clever journalist already beat me to that joke. Egg --> my face.

are reforming for this. Maybe.

the amazing girl from Shameless so I was happy.

it is pretty terrible.

should be amazing. I wondered who booked such a fantastic gig?

was amazing at Glastonbury

the new song sounds pretty mad. Full on hard core choral arrangements. Get on the myspace, I quite like it.

playing in Shrewsbury, in case anyone cares.

sandra116 should win, even though she didn't get the answer right.

It is not d)extramarital relationships

darcy 118, I will be calling you for some loving later today.
