Awesome review!
A tour de force to be sure.
Haha!
An old schoolmate of mine is in them. They're pretty cool.
Why are Stig
not in bold type like every other band?
Kling Klang are fucking brilliant.
Stick your fashion up your arse.
ARRG
The single is fucking breathtaking.
I don't think he namedropped.
He just made a very valid point about Foals.
Subways are proper gash though.
All the music
is pretty much dreck on the main stages. I would go just for the Glade, were it not more sensible just to go to the Glade festival. Or BAng FAce. Or Bloc. There's always cool fringe stuff going on at Glastonbury, but this too is probably far surpassed by events like Shambala.
In summary, fuck Glastonbury.
Ah well.
I'm sure on paper Dave Pajo doing metal should work.
Ta B!
This band are well worth seeing. We must petition them to return to the toon!
Bastard! I need to pay more attention.
Vessels are MINTED. How did I miss this? A well-deserved review, I'm sure.
Good article.
But no Liberez?!
Naaaaaaah.
Draft is phenomenal. Listen to it on good headphones, in the dark, on your own, then see how you feel about it.
What are peoples' thoughts on how this band
have an uncanny ability to chase the zeitgeist?
No
Burial?
Eh?
'Tis a hard thing to produce such a list though.
I would've voted for MMISL.
Absolutely mint, this.
Y'all might want to check out Pinch's Underwater Dancehall too. The vocal mixes aren't great but the instrumentals really are.
Cyrus's album of a few months back, From the Shadows, is also worth a listen. Definitely more solidly-situated in the dubstep camp, but startlingly minimal and eerie. And the BASS is astounding.
Do you know for sure
that the advance is not subject to cross-collateralization?
Wank.
They were a really good band. :~(
Is the last paragraph a hint?
In Rainbows on DIS?
I also think
the album is MINT.
There was
a massive uproar when the site changed last time. It's basically the same though, really. I say simmer down yer meffs.
Well that's
cack.
I don't understand this band.
Are they 'funny'?
Wow.
A consummate and concise display of well-applied vitriol.
God he's an odious fucker.
How. The. Fuck.
Did they get Noisia to remix?!
160
is bollocks. 192 is the lowest acceptable. I am a nerd.
Yarrrrp
Kling Klang are MINTED Leeeeeeeeeeeeed.
But no Lundump. I will probably miss 'em then.
Narrrrp.
DAMMIT
It appears you have the measure of me. I JUST WANT TO MEET ANT AND DECK AND PLAYY SOME MOOSIC FOR THEMA ND THE KIDS. NOT FAIR> AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
Has a band EVER tried this hard
to be 'sohotrightnow'? They sound and look like the product of a board meeting of 'cool directors'. Fucking abysmal.
Yes,
Showtime is the worst. It's dreck.
That is a fact.
Bollocks.
The guy is trying to stimulate discussion. Notice "Are...or...?"
Reggae vocals
are usually constructed as a contiguous strophic arrangement, i.e. a normal 'song'. Dub is where they get cut up and do the 'peppering' you speak of. I think a dub producer would say this provides him/her with options rather than limitations.
Also, the 'jerky strums' don't limit reggae's vocabulary any more than a snare on 2 and 4 limits most rock music, or 4 bass drums per bar limits techno: it's an identifying characteristic of the music, but there's still room for limitless permutations
Fucking hell
the grime pack have got uk male sewn up!
Oh
dear.
Yes.
Rationality and ability to feel pain are immediately taken away.
Gunt?
Wow I like that.
Thing is
yes, reissue blah rant etc, BUT: Each one has effectively a whole album's worth of live material, so it's not so bad really.
Johnathan Fire*Eater
were alright, I reckon.
That were a fun read.
House of Brothers=boss.
You could've attempted
a rhyming couplet...
Craig David's like eating catshit.
Wanna sever his head with a hatchet.
AFX
did this.
No.
<<conformist tosser with no standards, conformist tosser with no standards!
Manateeeeeeeees!
Yesssssss.
Last time I saw NCF the singer 'did a Bono*', which kind of put me off them. They're pretty good though.
*sleazed out on a girl in the audience while he was performing.
Fuckin ell chaps.
Alex and I tried to come down to the Catch gig, but by the time we arrived we'd missed y'all by an hour. We are bell-ends.
The only one
I miss is Godspeed.
Mylo can stuff his head up his own arse for all I care, the talentless cheesemonger fuck.

I don't mind being negative.
They are utter gash.
