i mean "industry shite like
the enemy" haha. whoops
The demise of the NME atm
is richly fucking deserved.. It's become the most flimsy, lightweight advertising pamphlet in the last few years.. "BIG EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW"s are normally a double page of photos, with about 150 word at the bottom in which the writer tells a brief anecdote about getting pissed with the interviewee, then the date of interviewee's next tour/album, then over. And it's relentlessly uncritical on industry shite like the NME. I used to think it was just pandering to 15yr old Skins kids, but I think most 15yr olds would still prefer a more passion, insight and depth to their music writing.. Like DiS! <<horrible sucking-up sound>>... Or maybe not
and "red ken"???
sounds like she's been reading the standard too much. there's nothing cooler than Conservatism ay madge?
I wish she would fuck off
out of england so badly... is she allowed to vote in the mayoral elections? i guess so. phew. what a fucking tool. maybe she can get boris johnson to do a turn in one of her next 'films' about cool underground london life
he looks like chris evans
doing an ali g impression
I would be surprised
if anyone on here hadn't had a single experience of getting hassled or attacked because of their clothes at some point- being in town with the indie/skater/goth kids when we were in our middle teens seemed to be a constant invitation to 'orrible kevs everywhere to verbally/physically abuse us when we hung out on saturdays... pretty fucked. When I read that awful story about the girl that was killed, I could imagine the scenario immediately, just from the number of times me or my friends were in situations when you thought that something really fucking serious might happen. and we always tried to stay out of trouble! don't want to sound like a rabid daily mail reader, but it is fucked up that this kind of thing can still happen in this country in the 21st century
^^uh-oh^^
don't do that mate, it makes you look like a twat
^^whoah there tiger! ^^
''almighty riff causes screaming boy to wave soiled boxers above head''- was this you?

i thought what he said
sounds quite funny. and it's still pleasantly rare for someone in a group like this to rinse the NME, it's something you don't hear enough i reckon
parp parp
yeah man
what a total knob. politics is so gay.! lol o m g he needs to get a haircut or something insted or not bother cos blur are well shit and elections r 4 wankas
^^what a tosser^^
i know you're being realistic here
but there is something depressing about the inevitability of this.. "Money will be made, a second album is a certainty. A knocking here will not affect a thing, as the rails are too straight and the engine too heavy". sigh.
also, is anyone else completely fucking sick of stage-school graduates mugging their way to pop success? i know i am! parp parp
still would tho
eh?
now thats the balanced, intelligent view so many of the above posts lack
omg i dont even think
that parklife is good nar in fact its werll shit but damon is fit tho lol rofl who do you like best alex or graham?????!! OLOLOL. cant i even have an opinion cos tgats what you are allowed omg omg rofl lol arg
award shows are pointless,
dull and self-congratulatory. it would be refreshing to see some mainstream artist rejecting the "nme brylcreem" or "blackberry vodafone orange live dancing awards" as the corporate shite they are... using groups to sell t-mobile top-up vouchers and what-not is fucked, but as klaxons showed, most groups would rather hoover up the coke and drink the champagne and forget about it. i'm not saying thats wrong (it'd be pretty fucking hard to turn down), its just weird that modern music is so shackled to big business. something's gotta change
ie what a load
of shite
"libertines record best of"
saying so to some means nothing, and to others leaves nothing to be said
indiana jones
is the best:
dah-dah-dah-dah
dah-dah-dah!
dah-dah-dah-dah
dah-dah-dah-dah-DAH!
come on people
i actually think
its a question worth asking about brock & marr- has any read a review of this group in the last year when the sole focus hasn't been johnny marr? maybe he thinks its good publicity, maybe he's pissed off. actually i've just realised i don't care. i fucking hate modest mouse and his voice drives me up the wall
it could be worse
oh, wait...
isn't "acute anxiety" usually band's pr code for
too many drugs? she doesn't seem the type
i really want this to be good
but think it will be shit. despite the charity aspect (i'd be interested to know how much actually finds its way to the colleges etc), these reunion tours are just cash ins for bands like zep now (also the who, stones, police etc); £125 a ticket is fucked. plus jimmy page looks like an old chinese woman now
does anyone know
when the next volume of dylan's chronicles is supposed to be out? is he even doing another? i thought 'volume one' might be some weird dylan joke...
p.s lester bang's review of astral weeks doesn't get talked up as much as lou reed stuff but is one of his best i reckon- its in carburetor dung i think. powerful powerful
his door knob
of course. arf
is jarman still mr indie scmindie
now that he is stepping out with ms "blahdy 'ell guvnor up the bleedin apples n pears fer pie and mash" nash? i thought she would be worse than global warming for him; though i guess it doesn't matter when shes polishing his knob. they are both fass

i used to live above it
now the fuckers have deserted me! smithfields indeed. It's driving prices down round my way, that's for sure. It'll be a half hour bus ride for all those blood sausage signed 7"s now. BALLS
