Give this man a medal. Unfortunately there'll always be the people who are so desperate to be cool they'll drink at The Hawley arms, wear clothes that make them look stupid and try to have sex with people in bands.
These people will always like The Libertines.

These people are very soon going to be drinking in the 'new Hawley', if they're not already.
It looks like that's what they're trying to turn the Prince of Wales into...

who can't stand that Mystery Jets single? Played every two minutes on every bloody station and pretty annoying after about two listens.

It's funny, sure. You're having a joke and a laugh. Not taking yourself too seriously. *shrug* So were The Darkness...

The way he goes through the whole song telling someone what to do, before the penultimate line: Thou shalt think for yourself.....

Oooopsie somebody missed the point there, ay Dom!?

Dom deems himself worthy to pass opinion on this record, but isn't happy that two blokes from the 'Essex commuter belt' have an opinion on what is and isn't in the four elements.
Umm.....presumably if you're not a white middle class boy from the Essex commuter belt, Dom, then you've no right to comment on this record!?

I think it's OK. There are tracks I skip and tracks I love, but this review is pretty ridiculous.

On early, at King And Queen on Saturday, then you can happily go about your evenings.

That is all....

I loved it last summer. There was a really great atmosphere in there and I had some great nights there.

The last time I went, a few months ago, it was full of wankers who'd heard indie was cool these days and decided to come down and check it out, only to get aggressive when they wouldn't play 'Why Does it Always Rain on Me...'

I mean, fair enough, I quite like em and I think they're a good band.

But it's also pretty obvious they're WAY too overhyped and a lot of their sales have been on hype alone..

So, why the huge defensive streak, drownedinvitriol?

.

I don't think many bands even deny it.

I don't buy NME, I'm not a big fan of NME, but I really hope the NME soon thinks we're the best band since sliced bread.

It's a great helping hand to any band - as long as you don't write shit music in the HOPE it'll get you in NME, then it's a great thing.

It would just be my band, as we are at the moment, only with an extra few thousand people lsitening to our music and, hopefully, coming to our gigs.

Ace.

Why try and make a 'cool' music magazine, and then make it look like Smash Hits!?

by unbridled joy, it can't be deemed a tearjerker, surely?

Maybe just a cliffhanger?

And everyone knows JMJ wouldn't have been brought down by a cliffhanger. He was gangster, yo.

that was on TV the other day made a convincing case for ET being the saddest film of all time.

Even sadder than when Jenny died in Forrest Gump.

Yup, you heard me.

a Bambi DVD on.

to die.

It's brilliant. But why?

Would it enlighten me if I had the sound turned up?

With most of what you say here.

Hmmm

telling my parents I'm going to Manfest. They'd be so disappointed in me.

And I hate you all.

This man has gone from writing lyrics like 'We formed a band. Look at us. We formed a band (repeat x50)'

..to wanting to make music that will inform people of the truth and make their own minds up, like Billy Bragg.

They are.

.

They never asked..

Booking Pete Doherty, I mean..

Why 10 o'clock? That pretty much gets rid of anyone with a job.
It'll be tramp-central in there on Wednesday.
Tramps and students.

Harumph.

corporate whore.

There aren't that many promoters who listen to the hype your shite band produces.

And there are only so many family deaths you can use to promote singles.

Eventually, you'll have to actually write a decent song..

"when you're in the top 40, maybe your negative comments of the industry will be taken seriously"

Sorry to rehash old comments, but does this mean that Crazy Frog, Mr Blobby, Zig & Zag etc. are better placed to comment on this than The Pixies?

Sorry, but in my humble opinion, this kind of sums up the argument. There are certain bands and people who think that being 'seen' in the top 40 is the be-all and end-all of the industry.
There are others who care about making good music. Unfortunately they don't come hand in hand.

And, I presume the reviews of every writer on DiS, all of the NME staff, Observer Music Monthly etc. are all invalid, as they've never had a song in the charts?

(although I've never actually seen Crablin and Mr Blobby in the same room together..hmmm)

was a response to edtf. I must learn to use these forums properly. Durrr.

Who utters the words...'The band's music isn't that relevant' should be embarrassed.

And the fact you slate a music...should I repeat that...MUSIC site, for ignoring the fact this band are getting into the charts and commenting on the MUSIC instead, is slightly sad.

Newsflash - Mr Blobby, Zig and Zag, The Crazy Frog - they all got into the charts. They're all still shit.

I thought the middle line would give it away. But alas, my poor humour is even worse in written form...

Brilliant. He's mortally offended by somebody reading his wife's book...

I just found a copy of Victoria Beckham's autobiography on the next desk.

My favourite line so far:
"David played well and created two goals. That means he kicked the ball to the person who kicked the ball into the goal."

Why? Why write a book if you're an illiterate halfwit?

I think fair play to em.

They ARE fucking terrible publicity seeking halfwits who'll last two minutes if they're lucky..

But they've done something my band hasn't, so fair do's innit.

in response to me, ClydePressman?

They WERE fucking terrible at Reading. It was funny to watch - and I don't even dislike em, the album's great.

Unfortunately, they were too dumb/arrogant/inexperienced to realise that when you're being paid hundreds of thousands of pounds to top a festival bill, waltzing on without any fuss, stage show etc., playing your album from start to finish and then going off, doesn't really work.

...so we're putting on our OWN fetival where other bands won't show us up and make us look crap.'

Wonder if Milburn will play...? Actually, no. I don't care.

I'm as against this as the next man, and these people who buy up fifty tickets at a time just to sell them are wrong.
But if I had a spare, and knew that people wanted to buy it so much that they'd pay £250 for it, I wouldn't sell it anywhere were they put a 'cost price only' rule on it.
I'd arrange it some other way, and as long as there's a demand, the people who want to buy them will find a way too.

I hope some of this Monday afternoon ramble made sense...

And aren't we called Limey's by the Ozzies? (and we call them Ozzies, of course..).

Is that not a word X being used to describe your racial background!?

Not that offensive though, is it..?

.

Morrissey really is the prick he comes across as to us 'mere minions'.

The USA is the biggest polluter in the world.

So don't go there, or sell records there, until they agree to change.

No, I thought not.

We'd need more trains. And more tracks.

At a great cost to the environment.

Ho hum.

If you don't get on the plane, it will still fly. It will still pollute the environment. Only you won't be on it.

And your train will be delayed, you'll probably encounter about 300 rail replacement services, and the food and drinks will cost you a bomb.

More fool you, I say.

"It's just reinforced my opinion that Muse have lost all sense of subtlety and direction in their music."

Has just reinforced my opinion that you don't know what you're talking about.
I don't agree with this theory either, but what the fuck has it got to do with the direction of their music?

His gay friends come round and have dinner and stuff.

They never get offended by shit like this. It's not offensive. Unless you're a straight man trying to prove that he's at one with everyone.

Get over it...

Blinkered? I think you talk too much and think too little.
xx

..I touched a nerve.

Sheesh

You really are all cooler than cool aren't you? I bet if Jet were an unsigned band playing the toilet venues of London you'd be creaming your pants over them right now, praising the fact they're great fun and know how to write a catchy tune.

DiS really irks me sometimes. This song aint a 0/10 and you know it, you just thought it'd be really cool to slag it off.

Ah well, at least you kept the regular DiS punters happy. Now, let's all go and give a 10/10 to some arthouse wankery that only three people in the world have ever heard of....

Get pissed, then losing your wallet doesn't seem so bad...

..near the front, with my wallet in my front pocket. I was being super careful cos it had my gf's ticket in it (she was coming up after work that night).
I felt a hand go into my pocket and my wallet come out (God bless tight jeans)
Unluckily for him, he was half my size, and I caught him and rugby tackled the cunt.
I then followed him around the tent for a good twenty minutes as he tried to get away, generally telling him that as soon as he left the tent I was going to break his face.
It was a wonderfully enjoyable experience, knowing that the fucker was shitting himself, but one I never got to finish as security saw me and came over to see what was up.
Ho hum. He got arrested. But his face still works. Boo.
Sorry to hear about yer camera tho, man. Some people are wankers at festivals.
I think I might still be telling this story in twenty years. It fills me with joy.

The new album's ace. Lost Riots was great, and this is too - it's just different.

I'm not sure Left is a great single choice, but Sing It Out was brilliant.

And Sam's voice is so much better now than it used to be.

Your sarcastic comments and stereotypical asides about Welsh people and GLC are insulting, offensive and slanderous.

That's why they're so funny. Keep up the good work.

Got any good jokes about those pesky Scots, while you're there?
