You missed out on Pharoahe Monch on Sunday though, he really showed DOOM how to put on a rap show!

Great interview so far, although it definitely sounds as if there's something more personal behind the dissolution that hasn't fully come out yet.

That you didn't deliver a lengthy feminist treatise on the Kid Cudi video. But seeing as you didn't, how come the Lipster need to be credited for a fairly standard (and not badly written) singles review column?

But for you to not even mention the Walkmen - even in the 'what, have we missed x.. well suck it!' bit at the bottom - is incredibly surprising. And yes, The Week That Was too.

PS - I still don't understand your love for Cut Copy - the vocals are so weak - if you're going to ape the Human League at least do it properly!

PPS - THE STILLS FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

but seriously, if you can actually to listen to this album three times without falling asleep or changing to something more interesting you deserve a prize all of your own.

And I like Elbow. Asleep in the Back would have been a good winner. But I guess M People were a better bet back then eh?

It's very close to Euston.

but read that as Keith Allen...

At Walmart!

but this is much worse, I try and buy all my new releases there! Berwick Street is losing it's record stores too fast.

Agreed on Pure Groove as well - it just isn't going to last in the middle of nowhere stocking only 100 CDs.

or REM. Foolish is just about right!

I think Portishead actually have a really good chance unless it is meant to be for new music (nah, M People won it)...

with a fairly well choreographed twist.

Still going through the album the first couple of times, but it seems like it's back to the slightly darker themes of the second record - which I'm all in favour of.

Not sure about the track with the Bon Jovi guitar solo on it though...

Except for the creepy bits at the top. But fingers crossed the music will be ok.

Shurely?

COUNTING CROWS!!!!

But M83, Fuck Buttons, Frightened Rabbit have been great.

I will be blaming you if this happens :)

to persuade people not to buy their awful new album - IT HAS A GIANT RED GORILLA ON THE COVER PEOPLE!

Super Furry Granimals?

...

That'll be the red filter then...

Most basic camcorders now come with a steadicam button.

Kind regards,

NOW!

The review already mentions casual sexism and the Farrakhan stuff. If you're going to make more serious claims about what you "personally think" then back them up already.

Kind of an odd location but thanks!

but I have no desire to hear a single song from this. Why didn't they just dress up like clowns on the cover and get it over with?

the Apollo 440 album mysteriously played between acts. I thought I would be embarassed having bought this at the time, but it still had its moments!

The promoters get a mixed wrap, but just for the Thermals gig last year.

I still like this band. Although the Rakes did write Strasbourg, which was brilliant.

End of festival.

Think it could do well on the radio too. The video is a bit mobile phone cinema advert though.

And how come they're playing the Forum and the ICA?

Will take a look for the remixes though, nice.

Pomme is really standing out at first, but I'm enjoying the whole "Nightvision"-esque sound. Is his other album worth getting, La Ritournelle aside?

it was the best of times

"some dead Turk"

it was the worst of times

but at least have ONE album. Even Test Icicles managed that!

Too long!

PS that is a link to their January uni tour dates, they have more standard venues for Feb. No London I can see though damn it.

"Hi, you're through to the Corey hotline. Here are some words that rhyme with Corey..."

Hope the new material is more original on record. When is the album due btw?

Acts That Can Fill Madison Square Garden:

Beastie Boys
Bruce Springsteen
Billy Joel
Jay-Z
etc

Acts That Can't:

Overrated Daft Punk Imitators

Esmerelda!

The review spends as much time relaying the story behind your album as covering the music itself.

All Hail West Texas. Or both!

a little over-stuffed towards the end though. Still, off to buy this after work.

ULU please!

B: Yesterday Went Too Soon is a pretty good album, haterz...

You visionary!

"Three years ago that was such a dead-end thing, there was no hope in hell for me to come out with this shit in London and have people give me any respect for trying something different."

in the same interview as:

"(But Britain is) more tolerant, it’s a multi-cultural society and we’re more open to shit... We can come out with an artist who is proud of where they’re from and can talk about those things or raise questions about terrorism where no-one else will stick their neck out, and we can do this just like we gave you a transsexual in the eighties who was singing reggae"

PS: Mango Pickle Down River is a war crime all of its own.
