you can
listen to it currently on the nme.com media thing- it doesn't take long to sign up.
it is really good,
maybe equal to Central Reservation. Great instrumentation and production too.
this
is so sad.
i like
the title of this piece of news. From now on I will see Carl as the Wicked Witch of the West.
Yes,
I'm glad you said that. When I first heard 'Hope There's Someone', I imagined a really old black guy.

I don't know why the tickets should be that expensive, but I'm excited by the new record.
Bearsuit - new LP, new tour, still fantastic
I'm so glad they're going to Lancaster, and releasing Team Ping Pong- and on Halloween.
Re: MTV makes me want to employ Ricci... Hell Yes
This sounds good. I hope the single has some new b-sides on it.
Re: Peel and Dylan join UK's Hall of Fame
Somehow I always imagined that he would always be doing his show, even when I was old.
Re: MTV announces Video Music Awards nominees
Yeah, the Beck video is probably the best among the nominees, and I'm not just saying that because I like him. Shynola are excellent creators.
Re: EXCLUSIVE: JJ72 New Single + Video
I think, seriously, that in their Art Department at School there was a window made out of 72 Jam Jars, so they made a band name out of that fact.
M.I.A., but not for much longer - June tour
M.I.A is really interesting. She won an independent art prize and is touring with LCD Soundsystem in the United States. Sunshowers samples a song by my favourite Disco Orchestral ensemble, Dr Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band.
But most importantly, I think she’s great.

Re: Notes from the Overground: UK top 75 Analysed
Goodnight Goodnight didn't do too badly considering that it didn’t get as much airplay as other HHH singles, and that Elevator has already charted (1 place higher than Make up the Breakdown). I think they should release Island of the Honest Man.
Kylie cancels Glasto after breast cancer diagnosis
I've never met her before, but I feel really affected.
Re: SFA announce May tour and new LP
It's a port in North West Scotland with a scarily large amount of Jellyfish.
Beck - E-Pro
It is good- as is the video.
Re: Wake up: A Busted tribute
Sorry- I had also read the BBC News website comments which. So my statement was more of a general one. But, your article is very good, balanced and honest- which I like. I want to see more like it in the future.
Re: Hot Hot Heat tickets on sale today
mmm, two spelling mistakes.
Hot Hot Heat tickets on sale today
I wish I could go- but hopefullt they'll come to Bristol and every other town and city in the UK. You can hear 'Island of the honest man' on their website- and it's really good. A little bit of a departure form Make Up the Breakdown- although I can't fully decide as it's only a clip.
Wake up: A Busted tribute
Many people seem to think that people that dislike Busted are music snobs. I don't care much about where music comes from, as long as it's good. Even if it comes of the back of a lorry, which has just made its 1000th trip to the money- centric music factory- if it's good then its good. Sadly, with highly manufactured music of any kind, this is very rarely the case.
But Busted, writing their own songs and playing their own instruments were heralded by many to be more talented, more real and therefore better than other pop acts. I admit that these qualities needed talent and Busted did indeed have some talent. Why then did they make such god-awful and cheesy pop songs?
Their lyrics, albeit written by their fair and youthful hands, were terrible. It's not the fact, as some argue that they tried to be something else and kept it 'unreal'. It's not the fact that they appeared in Smash Hits magazine. They were simply, in my opinion, no disrespect, terrible. Their videos were horrendous and “Crashed the Wedding” was an over produced slice of hell. I didn’t think that lines such as “I messed my pants, when we flew over France” were witty. I thought they were cringe worthy.
I don’t like Mc Fly either, but I promise to try and give Fightstar a chance. I also honestly wish them luck- but do I need to? They must be quite rich.
Sorry for writing so much, I didn’t mean to.

Re: Death of the single, continued...
Sorry- there was no need for me to use apostrophes to pluralize certain words.
Death of the single, continued...
I think this is terrible. Downloads should supplement CD's.
What will happen to b-sides? What will happen to great cd single artwork? What will become of merrily skipping down to your great, pokey old record shop and buying a single? What will happen to trying to hide godawful past single purchases from friends and relatives?
I still watch Videos and DVD's. I still buy Vinyl, download and every now and then buy a tape. I take photos with black and white film and colour.

DiS end of year polls! Records! Bands! Gigs!
I think that this is a fairly joyous list, but I still prefer the DiS 2003 list.
Art Brut - Modern Art / My Little Brother
I'm glad that Art Brut have returned with another good single.
LCD Soundsystem - Movement
I really like this single and I like James Murphy's voice.
If you copy this link, you can see the Flip Flop Flyin' version of him.

Re: Public service planned for Peel
That article is completely wrong. John Peel had Bob Marley in session a few years before he hit the mainstream. Plus, John Peel's show wasn't about finding new music and making it famous. It was simply finding new music.
Head Automatica - Decadence
I love this album, especially Beating Heart Baby. Plus their website is very cool, in a disco kind of way!
Re: The Fiery Furnaces - Fiery Furnaces - Blueberry Boat
Yes! That was my gig of the year too, in Bristol.
Head Automatica: First Single!
I definitely think that Dan and Daryl should keep on going. This single is so good! I like it more than anything by Glassjaw.
Polyphonic Spree - Hold Me Now
What rating do you give the single?
MC Lars - The Laptop EP
If that happened to Beck, he'd probably make a great acoustic album based on his floody woes and then follow it up with something completely different.
Re: Blink or you'll miss them: Death Cab play arenas o
I agree. Anyway, I like Blink and Death Cab, but I can't afford to go.
New Rhodes - New Rhodes
I love New Rhodes. Buy this Single!
The 5678s - Woo Hoo
This band have been around since the 80's, but I'd never heard of them before this. I'll have to listen to some of their older stuff before I can make my mind up.
In The City: demo deadline extended
I think they probably got loads of great demos, which kept on flooding in right up to the deadline, so they extended the deadline so that everyone could take part.
Another One Bites The Dust...
I kind of feel bad for them. But Tokyo Dragons, Portobello and The Holiday Plan all hit The Top 75 on Sunday- which isn't too bad.
!!! - Pardon Their Freedom
I think that Liars and Radio 4 are pretty good too.
Liars website has loads of music on it. This link plays some Radio 4 stuff

The Concretes - You Can't Hurry Love
I love the concretes. Their summery music makes the weather even warmer.
Belle And Sebastian - Books EP
I've found it follow this link. http://www.jvtdesign.com/belle_sebastian/books.html
Re: Futureheads A To Z: Play Hunt the CD!
You can listen to this If your not sure whether you like them. I know I do!

Re: Belle And Sebastian - Books EP
I agree. Twee or not Belle and Sebastian are an amazing legendary band. I think there's a Books E-card somewhere that people can listen to.
Secret Machines - Now Here Is Nowhere
I've seen the video to their single on MTV2. The song and the video are both really good. Secret Machines= post exam loveliness.
The Ordinary Boys
My friends tell me that the Ordinary Boys are really good live.
I really want to see them, but whenever they play Bristol I never get to go.
Everybody else should.

The Ordinary Boys - Over The Counter Culture
I think the Ordinary Boys are really good. I'm really annoyed because they played Bristol last night, and I couldn't make it.
Reading/Leeds adds: Kaisers, Distillers, Bad Things, Shins, Oliveri...
I too was worried that this year wouldn't be as good as 2003- but The Shins and Modest Mouse have changed that. And Mark Langean!
The Walkmen - Bows And Arrows
I think the Walkmen's Album is much better than this. There's so many great tracks on here and they're all catchy.
CHARTS! Killers go Top 10. Sam And Mark do not
I really like Kiss of Life. It should have been Top 20.
Radio 1 Rejig: Pearce and Peel move; Murray and Bowman granted MORE time!
Now I have to stay up even later to listen to John Peel. But it's worth it. It's good to see Mike Davis at a better time. I think Zane Lowe is good- but he had enough radio space already. I feel kind of bad for Dave Pearce, even though I didn't like him much.

i like guero a lot
and I still listen to it. I read somewhere that Beck said this new album sounds like the bridge between Guero and Sea Change- I think it might be in the vein of Mutations; more eclectic than Sea Change, but not as much as Guero.
