you may be rambling
but you're also tempting me to get hold of Hidden World
Did this lot support the Noisettes in the Carling Academy Islington in 2005?
Or would that have been a totally different Plugs..?

Thanks for that
I've removed an 'of'.
It's Glastonbury.
That's Glastonbury.
'skew eyed and toothles'
awesome
you're joking, surely?
OLTA bums all over Antics.
It's a grower
When I first heard it I though 'oh dear' but now I love it.
It kind of makes me sad
The album is pretty strong - for my money it's way superior to the second Franz album, for instance - but from the way the press has turned you'd think they'd recorded themselves throwing cats into pools of flaming petrol.
I disagree
The mother album is rather good. And certainly can't be accused of being without wit and guile.
I thought Sweet Brother Malcolm
was alright. I was completely shocked.
meanwhile
Borrell was cackling in his gothic mansion muttering "now NOBODY will know I didn't write America...HAHHHAHAHAHAHA!"
anyone else
hear the rumour that McClelland was ousted when he started questioning the terms of their management deal?
Seen em twice now
and a more boring time I've never spent.
With all the hype...
...it would have been really easy to slag this record. So I'm glad you didn't, good review.
It's just a great album. Best lyricist since Jarvis, innit?
thirded
Saw him playing to a half empty room at Cross Central this year and he was fantastic. 'Shut up and listen you c*nts!' About time someone said that to a bunch of chattering Londoners at a gig.
But who are they?
Are they any good?
I like this
But it sounds like My Sharona by the Knack.
I love this song
That is all.
oh
I quite like it.
Bloc Party will never be like Oasis though
By which I mean in a decade's time Bloc Party won't be playing workmanlike sets of 10 year old songs to remind their audience of a time when they weren't going bald.
I hate that
for three weeks it's been impossible to turn on ANY channel on a Saturday morning and not find this lot playing their teethgrindingly irritating single. It makes me want to EAT my own HEAD. And post about it IN CAPS.
We Are Scientists - With Love And Squalor
Okereke concerned by non-essential press questioning
I like Bloc Party (and I like Kele) but if it means that much to him he should limit himself to Socialist Worker and Pravda. The big moanbag.
Bright Eyes - Spend an Evening with Saddle Creek
*kicks dvd player*
The Rakes
Brilliant.
The Dandy Warhols - Odditorium or Warlords of Mars
The Pipettes' Dirty Mind: new single scheduled for November
King Creosote - KC Rules OK
I stand by the McCartney thing though - which isn't to say that KC does not have an excellent voice and he uses it well. And as for scaled back, sure all those instruments are on the album but for my money he uses them in a pleasingly spartan manner and good on him for it.
The Dandy Warhols - Smoke It
I wouldn't expect (or want) them to wait to release material - I like them after all. It was just a gentle dig. Ahem.
Re: Garbage cancel European dates
Garbage cancel European dates
The Dandy Warhols - Smoke It
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Howl
Hmmm. If I'd read the review before lunch I may just have bought this. Got to admit that when I heard about their new direction I though 'oh dear.' Now I'm all tempted.
New mag alert: Amped turns up the volume
Poor old Select, I used to love it. It all started going wrong when the logo changed from red to black if you ask me...

Ever.
The Rakes - Capture/Release
As for Ausland, every band needs a lost classic B-side. Means people will buy the b-sides album in four years time.
Re: Joy Zipper - 1
The Rakes - Work Work Work (Pub, Club, Sleep)
I thought the production on this was a pretty light touch actually. It's different from the others in that the focus is pretty much on the vocal but then again it's a lyric-heavy song. And the lyrics are ace.
The Decemberists - Picaresque
And enough of the NMH dissing. They were awesome.
