emi have the rights, they are using the rights, they didnt get the rights in the first place without radiohead giving them the rights, thats the name of the game.

votes now closed for worst artwork of 2009?

dis in ETG high score schocker.. oh no wait...

anyday

but i really can't be bothered. being a musician is important and it is a luxury.

you need money to make your art sure but i consider making music a luxury. it's fun its not work in the traditional 9-5 sense, so yeh you gotta get money but lets be fair about it, im not going to pay loads of money for something it doesn't cost the band to replicate.

it's wrong that itunes etc should charge more/the same for a download album than amazon do for a physical product. I understand that music has a value however a digital track can be replicated for (virtually) no cost to the label/band yet the price point is still based on the cost of a physical copy.

If BMW could replicate their car exactly with minimal cost (i.e the cost of technology to do so, in musics case a computer) would they still charge £30,000 for it? Since the production costs is lower we would assume the cost to the consumer could be lower.

So i would suggest for a start downloads should be more realistically priced.

more from J.Wo. please

looks like its all already available on you tube... soooo.

im not looking to write anything for free so it doesn't really matter does it.

i don't understand your linking to that article... it doesn't make any argument for doing an internship especially not a 'cultural' one which I guess DiS would fall under.

So thanks you have proved mine and many others' point.

no one should be expected to give there services for no payment...

p.s. paying 'some' expenses is not payment.

so ill just not pay my bills and tell them its because im doing a job im not getting paid for and im sure they'll say... oh ok, we'll just wait for you to pay yours bills until you get that well paid job an internship always leads to... not a problem'

good will don't pay the bills.

of course you can be an intern! we just had to make lots of people redundant and you want to work for free? ...

was great. i don't agree with the part about 'audience who, for the most part, simply want to hear songs he is not willing to play'. I am a massive bright eyes fan, but was perfectly content watching this band on their own merits, and thought it was great even the songs the bands members took lead on... and i didn't get the feeling the rest of the audience were thinking were dying for some bright eyes tunes either... during milk thistle the audience were as quiet as during any b eyes solo number.

with metal studs? thats sounds like a safe present for a baby!

what a great, honest guy.

I don't agree with the 'simple arrangements' comment.
Though I find it slightly detached because of the lack of emotional cliches. Bring back the cliches!

'so engrossed in approximating the size of cardboard boxes'

nice

one of your posts

case proven.

my opinion is your a total fucking cunt.

i don't know at all, but well it's 'JUST MY OPINION' so apparently that's ok. And apparently it was ok for hitler to hate jews, cos it was just his opinion right?

i think she is beautiful and i like her songs.

some comments here are offensive (see dollygrl 'a fucking stupid popstar' or see bombtrack 'send the bithc to Iraq). if you don't like her that's fine, but by writing such abuse you really just reveal yourself to be rather stupid.

let's remember she's human too, if kate nash wrote a comment on here saying dollygirl was a fucking idiot, there would be an uproaor about how offensive and stupid she was.

come on lets get some perspective.

pretentious a name...
and sooooo
crap a sleeve design

cripple crow is amazing.

i didn't even really understand the first three parapraghs, too many commas.

the words of a review can imitate the sounds they are describing. in such cases, as sparse as they are, a great gig equates to a great review. this is one such case.

.

this is so pointless, who really cares, lets just listen to whas good, i dont mind if it's 'arty' or not as long as it makes nice sounds in my ears.

i'm glad your not pouring cancer causing smoke into the air which i then have to breath while i'm trying get a drink/wathc a band/eat now shut up you selfish idiot. if people want to smoke too right they shouldnt be able to do it where it affects non smokers. it's the sensible and obviously positive thing the government has done for...a long time.

her record company said publicity, publicity publicity.

and i don't care how she came about. haven't heard the album but i'm sure it bugs here that all people go on about is myspace.

the reviewers sense of self irony is patronising.

i realise they just wanted a chance to chronicle your own life and how you've always been above and beyond..it all, but really enough enough, what's the point?

it doesnt make sense but the lighting point does...

i knew it was going to be nine before i read the review. what is the point?

what i like is that the review is also
'Direct, intimate and almost wholly devoid of cynicism'

lots, its brilliant.

review, about time

i knew from a few years back have split up recently no?

also, the fiat referred to as 'crappy' in the above artcile (fiat grande punto) is actually pretty ace, as i have one. but no it wasnt to do with the music.

i say 'let them eat cake'

well you should do its pretty good.
it's like this site without the sarcasm and bumlicking

fari enough i guess that means you couldn't read pitchfork to do your news.

you could have read this last week on pitchfork... good to see DiS ontop of the news.

arent you a saint

a thumbs up right back at you themsf

well i got up from the crowd at the astoria and he let me play a song on his guitar. it was the bestest moment ever.

infact i shall never better that i might as well end it all now...
