was hoping for TFC to be the Sunday headliner. Wishes do come true, apparently.

yey!

was actually a great album. 'The Black Hole' less so. I stopped paying attention altogether after that song that included Noddy Holder narration. Still, comparing them to Noah and the Whale is a bit harsh in my opinion.

after hearing it numerous times on Radio Two over the past few weeks. It kind of reminds me of The Diskettes except much less fun.

and remember thinking they were rather hit and miss. Aside from a few songs (Rain all Summertime, Say It Ain't So, The Way It Seems) I never really felt the need to go back and re-listen, unliked with the Hefner re-issues and The Secondary Modern album. Shall have to give them another go to see if it clicks this time.

Darren is a complete legend though and his work rate is to be applauded. The Darren and Jack play 'Hefner' shows recently were amongst the best I have been to.

they will play any of the new songs at the Day At The Races fest tomorrow...

I'm not trying to be a smart arse or anything, I genuinely can't remember. Agreed that it was a fantastic show anyway. So many highlights (Christian Girls, Painting and Kissing, Don't Flake Out On Me) and Saturday Looks Good To Me were great as support too.

not Kabeddies. I've always wanted to correct something!

I do hope the new record sounds more Seamonster-ish. Love that album so much.

'4 and a half minutes too long' joke

my favourite part of DIS. "..sounds shit beyond his years.." Bravo.

Oliver Easts artwork for this album, and a very good review too. Never really given Elbow much time previously but am intrigued by the 'Grounds for Divorce' single. Shall investigate further.

the reaction from wearside to the news that Sunderland had signed portly Republic of Ireland international Andy (I'd rather eat than) Reid.

I am sure this has already been said but Seriously WTF! That 'We will live and die in these towns' song IS the retarded cousin of Going Underground. Paul Weller shouldn't just sue, he should time travel Back To The Future style and commit suicide at the age of 10 to prevent this shit from ever happening.
Also, I'd never have to hear the song Wild Wood. This really is a no lose scenario.

"Sorry Scout: wrong ears" - This could possibly have just been the whole review, no?

I have watched that video about 8 times now and I never fail to laugh at the kids terrified arm spasms.
It's very possible that I am going straight to hell but damn it was worth it.

THAT video is some Blair Witch sh*t right there. The hopeless pushing at the monitor manoeuvre he does is possibly my Favourite Thing Ever.

I have tickets to see Scout Niblett at the Faversham tomorrow. I can't be bothered going.

That is all.
