i think it all depended on

where you were standing.
the wind was blowing to the left most of the weekend and so if you were on the right it was fine and if you were on the left then it was fairly shite.

2.21

wtf?

peel sessions box set

= all you need if you've got a spare 20 quid

drowned in sound strike again...

yet another ridiculously harsh, unfunny review.
Why review stuff if all you're going to do is slate it?? Surely it would be better to cover the music the editorial team likes instead of just slagging off artists you don't like?

ha

i think we all know the answer to that one...

Crystal Castles

are one of the best live acts ive ever seen. she is an absolute mentalist!

they took their time

releasing it...

regardless of all this arguing

its still a lazy review.

thirded

what happened to the bit

about you smuggling weed back from amsterdam?

new century house?

is that the same place that the animal collective played last year in the cis building?

Fanfarlo

were without doubt the highlight for me. notable mentions to youthmovies and tellison.

nme may have lost 12.3% of its readership

but i bet nme.com has gained 12.3% more readers. and so the adverts that would have gone in the nme now go on nme.com and still reach the target audience.
no?

this is really old news

but i completely disagree with that vince power twat.

gutted

he was pretty much the only good thing at benicassim

their myspace says

21st may, moho live manchester with mae shi.
is that part of the tour?

haha

I’m invoicing Bloodsimple for my time because, frankly, if they ain’t paying you to listen to this execrable dog shit then it’s really not worth wasting your time over. Just fuck off.

best headline ever

I DONT KNOW

WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT!

absolutely hilarious

2 points to mr. kharas

what about

in the city?

im not sure what i think of it

to be honest. its like a james bond theme. i don't see how having two singers helps at all because they are basically singing the same part.
very odd.

Government Comissions

But yes.

the modern dance

is one of my favourite records ever. RIP.

great review

great album.
word.

.

not a chance in a million years this is gonna happen.

i reckon

he made the statement due to nmes headline of:
Godspeed You! Black Emperor quit over Iraq

^

cancel that. lightspeed champion is calling instead.

james pole

manchester please.

Limp Bizkit

were the first band i truly loved.

the artwork

reminds me of the transformers

benicassim

got my ticket already. what with connect last year, it now seems weird if i dont fly to a festival.

i really like it

but the whole album sounds just like bright eyes.

amazing album

crap live though...

Manchester

i guess its me vs jarock87 for this one.

..

Rock: Martha Stewart
Non-Rock: Ainsley Harriott

that video

is kind of like a porn movie, but instead of having sex randomly, they just break into song.

^

chillout.

Sky Larkin

Black Kids
Jonny Foreigner
Tired Irie
Friendly Fires
Grammatics
Glasvegas.

I am hugely excited about the youthmovies album.
Maybe BSP will do a bit of a comeback cos their 3rd record is awesome. and hopefully futureheads will blow up in a big way cos their new tunes are banging.

i cant really afford it..

the free copy of the film on video is definitely swinging it though.

I wouldn't really call anyone a DiS band

but i can list bands that I have got into as a result of DiS:
Les Savy Fav
Battles
Youthmovies
MMMISL
Johnny Foreigner - in their case i bought their ep as a result of the review here.

DiS is doing a good job, keep it up.

errr..

im pretty sure savy fav was no.13

No

I honestly don't rate them at all, it just seems like they're riding a wave of what's fashionable at the moment.

oh

and i do bum popular culture, the compilation you put out earlier this year rocks my socks.

sorry for being a dick

but tim and sams band name has put me right off.
i just think sometimes on this board people try and be too 'indie'. twisted wheel and the courteneers are probably going to get quite big and manchester should be proud of that, as well as producing bands who may be deemed to make better music.
and yes, the answering machine are awesome, i'll be at joshua brooks on saturday for that one.

Modernaire

aren't very good. they're trying to be the pipettes with the whole good looking girls but no tunes to back it up. air cav are one of my favourite live bands in manc at the moment.
the ting tings are going to disappear as quickly as when they came along.
sir yes sir < pavement.

name me some other

manchester bands who you have seen in the last month or so then.
the courteneers, twisted wheel and paris riots are all fantastic un-pretentious rock n roll bands and are bands that manchester should be proud of.

Saw them supporting Brakes

and they were really really bad.

yep

its stanley donwood still. i really like it.
