been put back to autumn

i'm told there will be UK/Euro dates too!

but i'd argue that that was a great, personal record which grows on you over the years

Working On A Dream may have the same effect, given time...

apologies for being a pedant, but there's a factual error in the review:

the frontman and lead vocalist is Linda Buthelezi
Mpumi Mcata is actually the band's guitarist (not the singer as stated above)

cheers!

there have been two Guardian pieces: one last year then another two week ago...

they're also playing across Europe, opening for Wire in Germany:
http://www.jagjaguwar.com/shows.php

especially the first one, with Mudhoney, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Devendra Banhart curating a day each

both this year and 2007

was pretty much perfect, even the weather

give Him Tall his own column!

see this?

\mm/

that's too much metal for just one hand

Labor Day in the US and Canada is September 1 this year

in Australia, meanwhile, said holiday arrives October 6

\m/

did you catch Tad's latest combo as well?

i love the go faster stripes that Kerry King has tattooed on his head

i was on really strong E

oddly enough the first time i saw Mogwai was at the Garage in 1997, where they were third on the bill to Gorky's Zygotic Mynci and Kenickie

everyone was a lot thinner back then

at the lack of Portishead

Third is a masterpiece

that's six of the best live bands around plus a true legend on the decks

bought my ticket already

costume will require some thought...

nice work

top weekend all round, Space 2 was the possibly the loudest festival stage ever!

mindblowing show

roll on Supersonic!

can't wait to see Harvey Milk live

to all the haters: Tapestry is one of the few festivals to be more about the spirit of the event - western for its first three years at a bizarro cowboy theme park in Cornwall, then medieval for the past two years in a beautiful deer park in Wales - than the specifics of the line-up

that said, plenty of DiS-championed bands - Part Chimp, Archie Bronson Outfit and especially Chrome Hoof spring to mind - have played some of their most memorable sets at the festival

fingers crossed for 2009

double respect for the early Alice Cooper track

it's been a while

these be sweet jams!

Tucker's best yet

nice review!

both tunes from the Hand Over Fist b/w Bullet Train To Vegas seven-inch

plus the original version of Sinews

wise words from the Swami

that Crime reissue is well worth checking out, if you haven't already

discuss

or even DiScuss
