(Pulls back ring on worm can...)

Malcom X wasn't much about equality.

She's NOT a Hackney bint

She's from Wembley

Polonium 210

coming into contact with plutonium would be much worse.

Pissing

DUM.DUM DUM.DUM DUM DUM. DUM DUM. DUM

genius

do they actually have

any good songs that aren't "olympian"?

I'm sorry but...

You meant "folk in its simplest form". And I am aware of no recording artist by the name of Jacques Briel.

I care

It had better be better than Around the sun though

Diver in speaks the truth shock

I can never get anyone to believe me when I say this. The second album is clearly better.

Dragonforce

are a comedy band

what does

PETA stand for?

No.

Next question?

"Emerson, Lake and Palmer are a waste of talent and elctricity"

Is the line. And very true it is too.

I'm not familiar enough with their work

to make a crappy pun here. I can, however, spell "reckless".

That's

barely imaginable

Best intro to BFB

Is cold water songs. If you like that, try and get the king will build a disco E.P. They have yet to surpass either.

Stupid question

Does Murdoch own MySpace then?

Investigate it

some time after you get 'round to reading war and peace, the torah in ancient hebrew, and the dead sea scrolls. this band are shit.

why

should we know better? GLC are just funny, end of.

I too

can't get windows media player to play the downloaded mp3. and since I don't subscribe to any fancy-pants podcasting software, that means no show for me. And that makes me a sad panda.

Even if les incompetents are rubbish.

REM

own the smiths. And Coldplay. And Around The Sun, though not great, wasn't shit.

Criminal Minded

Is clearly far from the best hip-hop album ever, oscillating as it does between mindless sexism and equally mindless outright adovcation of gun crime.

"straight outta compton", now there's a hip-hop album.

Everyone

Needs "the great eastern" by the above band. Widely ignored by the music press, they made albums of big-sounding, dramatic folk-tinged indie that make the likes of wilco and interpol sound pathetically inarticulate.

Delgados

Sob

Am I being silly?

Or does it not say where this is ANYWHERE in the article. Or is everyone here so tragically hip they already know?

its...

get get get get over it actually

four gets

sorry

/pedantry

"The B.S. Record"

Says it all.

They're not

so wonderful that if you don't like them you you're wrong about music. And goo and dirty sound exactly the same.

they are, however, quite good

The Crimea

does or does this not have lottery winners on acid on it? If it does, I'm buying it. Simple as.

Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

In the midst of all this, overblown if somewhat justified outpooring of hate, may I point out that twentysomething wasn't his debut album?

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Howl

they do score highly for pretention by stealing an allen ginsberg title. doubt they can live up to that somehow

“Reissue! Repackage! Repackage!”

Any record with a sticker saying "as seen in the advert for"...

except "drinking in LA" by Bran Van 3000 from the Rolling Rock adverts in the mid-90s. Tune.

New Order - Krafty

i want to hear the story about the reviewer running of with his neighbour' s teenage daughter, there' clearly a douglas coupland novel there

Idlewild - Love Steals Us From Loneliness

I like R.E.M. Leave them alone.

Dr Drakes closes

Bugger

Idlewild album and single news - Oh Yes!

why does noone like the quiet the remote part songs? They're gorgeous. Just cos a band start out doing utterly noncommercial appallingly produced comedy punk doesnt mean they have to forever. I think the more r.e.m inspired stuff is really cool.

Are Times A-Changing?

I think the point was it's not cool to be a sad obsessive indie fan any more. I am one, but we're a dying breed. And I swear it's true, no emerging bands that get played on the radio and stuff are actually good.

Not that there is no talent, just they all spend all their effort being cool (Franz Ferdinand, the Killers), or waste their talent writing cynically poppy tunes they know will be a shoe-in for massive radio overexposure (Snow Patrol, Damien Rice)

Im off to get over it, listen to early R.E.M. and Echo and the bunnymen and wallow in nostalgia for a time I didn't live in

Re: The Beatles - The Capitol Albums Vol.1

What? actually, i think you'll find... no. the greatest beatles album is clearly "abbey road"

Stellastarr* ready work on second LP

My Coco = tune
rest of album = patchy
But yes, they probably deserve to be bigger than franz, although their pixies ripping-off does grate at times

The Dawn Parade - The Underground

Wow. I thought I was a major fan, but I could never bring myself to kiss their arse that much. "the underground" and "broke on angel street" are both fantastic songs though, altho the b-side "the firedrake" is a bit poor.
Anyone wanna bet on this band getting an album out next year?

The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster - The Royal Society

"legible" for chart success? Says it all. They are a disgustingly shit live band. And a boring band on record.

Re: Manic Street Preachers - Lifeblood

Zooropa isnt middle of the road, and it is the best album u2 ever made.

judging by 1985 and love of richard nixon, this isn't terribly good. but then ive never liked that kind of slick synthetic pop, and there are far better bands out there than the manics doing this stuff.

manics were best as a rock band hovering between parody and stuff so beatiful and sincere it could reduce you to tears. like gneration terrorists and the holy bible.

"But I'm a LADY" - Manson to don frock for new flick

I beg to differ. the depeche version of "personal jesus" is well cool.

Re: Metallica - Some Kind Of Monster

genius. comment of the week.

U2 news: Bono in Brighton and new album tracklisting

Zooropa's fucking amzing though

Emerson Lake and Palmer - The Ultimate Collection

elp - "a waste of talent and electricity" John Peel. the man's rarely been more right.

Charlotte Hatherley - Kim Wilde

so, the fit one in Ash is the bass player, right?

London's week of rock starts Monday

I'm missing Trencher to see baroque chamber music at St. John's Smith Square... not a venue that's in the DiS listings i note

The Beastie Boys - Ch-Check It Out

Well, granted it is a bit of a formulaic hip-hop song, i like, and clearly the whole album won't be like it, one of the great things about the last few beastie albums was the variety of styles. I think it's just a bit of a teaser, not giving too much away about the album's sound. And it's good to hear something a bit old school and vaguely good to compare to the ringtone hip-hop and egotistical whinings of the likes of Usher. The sooner his house falls the better

The Others - This Is For The Poor

this does suck. I'd like to like it, but it's just too grating and repetitive after one listen

Keane - Hopes and Fears

Yeh I like "this is the last time", I don't have the record but when I saw them live that was the only thing that stood out as being interesting and a little bit original. Not much of a straw to cling to though...
