This is a fucking excellent idea. Will DiS be putting out a lucrative compilation album featuring tracks from the artists?
If you'd asked me at Xmas, I'd have voted FOTL without a second thought, but Fuck Buttons are awesome and so is Third.
Burial
He won't win it cos he won't turn up, even though he probably should.
I could see it going to Radiohead like, especially with the internet release situation.
Quaye Geneology
Don't know if there is actually any shared blood, but Finlay shares a surname with Tricky's mam Maxine (thus Tricky's 1st too). Tricky proper hates him though and reckons he got famous off his reputation. He did a b-side muttering some paranoid bile about "taking my mother's name in vain" which is meant to be a song for Finlay.
I might be in a minority here (or just an old old man), but I liked Maverick A Strike and I like his second one too (although I'm stuck for the actual title.)
...
And he invented Grime with Juxtapose too. He lost it a bit later on, but you can't touch him and Martine on the early stuff.
Remember Tricky is your Christ for ever and ever...
Still seriously
Regardless of how awesome she might be, surely she can come up with a slightly more original name?
Voting
How's about voting for ATP to relocate closer to Newcastle? Like, Longsands beach, or Whitley Bay Caravan Park?
Seriously though
Does nobody else think Contrary Motion or Computer Dating are better songs?
The Most Suprising of All
Is it just me, or is anyone else surprised that all these records came out after 2000? I kind of feel that everything I buy becomes part of my collection a little while after purchase and I can never remember when stuff came out after that.
Laverne's Friends
She has at least two friends cos I've heard her name drop the dude from Fourtet into Glasto coverage at least once. She is still, without doubt, a shit TV presenter without an ounce of personality. Get Sarah Cawood's honey-buns back onto credible TV again instead.

So, What's the ..... of the year?
Gig: TODD at ATP in March.
Band: My band, Molten Unicorn, just for having 5 practices in a row. That's professionalism.
The only festival I went to was ATP Wknd One. I played mini golf in a gale drinking Special Brew.
I'm going to recommend the pitchforkmedia website, insangel13.co.uk for nearly sorting us out with a drummer and a practice room and letting petty band twats call each other names; the Electric Circus night in Newcastle; Colin Murray on Radio One, or me on www.weirdears.com; roadtrips to Liverpool.
Misc: Iron Bru. Helmet's reunion album was a waste of my time. I pulled a fat girl at a party and was alarmed to find out it was my friend's sister. The girl who hates me at indie nights in Newcastle (her name is supposed to be Vicki but Fat Arse Small Tits to her friends) getting punched for chatting up some old tarts boyfriend. Go girl! Got job, no money: No job, no money. Still living at home. Less talk more action.
Do the 'Dog - Irish rock monsters reform!
Please don't play London, play Newcastle instead. I'm waiting with baited breath. Kerbdog were indeed fookin ace, and fully underrated. Are they bringing the other guitarist out or are they touring as a three piece?

Novocaine for The Soul on TOTP was ace. Didn't The Jesus Lizard also play when the split with Nirvana charted?
