Is how I was describing it to people. Great album, perhaps a little bit disjointed in places with the flow, but not really an issue. I actually prefer this to BMSR.

until they ruined their duo status. I am now favourite duo-less!

not imp.

Girls Can Tell, then Kill the Moonlight. Wasn't so fussed on Gimme Fiction, and haven't heard A Series of Sneaks.

Well, my thoughts perhaps aren't as harsh, but it's definitely not an adventurous album.

I still like it though, and would say there's only one song I really find boring (somewhere near the end, can't remember the title now).

Nothing's really come close to it yet for me, although I haven't heard a lot of these albums mentioned.

clearly

no Deerhoof?

Did a new edition of the world map come out that highlights Wales come out or something?

second listen - hmmm
third listen - oh god hurry up and end

obvious answer.

a load of b-sides and rarities on their site, some of which are really good tracks, especially the b-sides to the Dirty singles. Why hardly any of these appear on the compilation I have no idea. It's really annoying because I'd happily pay to have a cd full of those songs, but from what I can tell the majority of the actual compilation is from the most recent albums.

Here's the mp3s they offer, in a suitably weird layout.

It does have it's filler moments, but I think a 7 or maybe even 8 would be appropriate; it's a good album.

It's exactly like listening to the album, which is good and all, but I could do that at home.

a festival within walking distance. That's how it should be.

to hide/collapse the messages that were there last time I looked on the boards/comments.

Slash/slash.

Get the adblock extension for Firefox, then you don't even have to see it.

twice now and I'm a little underwhelmed. It's not crap and there's some interesting stuff going on, but it seems like it could be better.

Is it a grower?

er, acquirable, for a while now. I've heard of some people having it for 2 months already. I'm not one of them of course, naturally I'm going to wait 'til release day.

wrong rating. This is a song the 10 out of 10 gif was made for.

they're not quite as good as S-K, Janet was a huge part of why S-K were so good, so this is still great. She's an amazing drummer.

a lot about this myself.

I've always been very much an album orientated person; listening to the whole album without skipping songs just to get the "experience", and never really buying any singles (except on vinyl because they look pretty).

But lately, almost without meaning to I've become quite song orientated. Having an emusic subscription doesn't help I suppose because that isn't really geared to downloading whole albums - more to sampling a few from albums you might buy - but it actually just results in me not buying albums at all because I can make my own little cd mixes.

The one thing that still holds me back from switching to all digital is that I do like having the album art and proper cd, as pointless as it may sound.

I'm kind of in limbo at the moment, not wanting to go one way or the other, so I hope something will come along to help me decide.

she does it with things other than people?

There's a nice mental image for ya.

when I say, Phew!

Pretty much sums up the discussion.

Next week on DiS: Are Busted more influential than The Beatles?

Girl shaped love drug, or Girl shaped loved rug?

by this news, they were such a great example of the joys of marriage.

Another band doesn't come to Wales. Cos no one lives here, obviously.

Boring as feck first listen, couple of interesting parts I suppose. Will give it a few more listens and hopefully will reveal itself to be something much more interesting, because really with Benson, White + the Greenhornes it should be bloody great.

for clearing that up, there was me thinking the 3 times I've seen them have been great.

The Pipettes are poptastic and really fun to watch live.

They need to put an album out.

The review seemed to be a bit on the fence.

No direct mention of Quasi as an influence?

Saw them supporting Sleater-Kinney at the Koko and I thought they were quite good, catchy songs, but not that memorable.

They did turn up pretty late to the gig I suppose, can't have helped.
