please!
I
have yet to meet one of Hard Fi's so called 'working class' fans. Everyone I've ever met who liked Hard Fi were anything but 'working class'
.
.
Pretty much this^
They've always done that though, the NME I mean. Look at how they treated the Happy Mondays for example.
YORK

I liked
there early twee stuff. After that...meh really. Velocity Girl will always raise a smile though.

Re: Demo Nirvana: 22-track compilation due
i'm not a nirvana fan, but my god what a rip off.
if courtney/dgc/whoever really wanted 'the fans' to hear these three (THREE for fucks sake) new songs then why not stick them online for 99p a go?
losers.

Re: Rock rags record best-ever sales figures
artrocker uses the word 'angular' too much though. rant magazine is a good read, not strictly speaking a music magazine but it good.

Roll Deep - The Avenue
i love this song so much it actually hurts
Belle & Sebastian release 25 song EP collection
i own them all but will be buying this still. they contain their best work and some of the best pop music of the nineties.
Trembling Blue Stars - Bathed In Blue
magnificent record, magnificent band
Camera Obscura - I Love My Jean
very very underloved band.
Manic Street Preachers - Empty Souls
the manics are a funny beast. i think it is positive for them to have moved on from KYE. it wasn't pleasent watching 35 year old, fat men attempting to be themselves when they were ten years younger, ten pounds slimmer and one member more. the manics have done they're job now. they filled the horrible void of music around the time of the arse end of Madchester and the rise of generation x inspired grunge nonesense. they were a band to believe in. they were at the front, making a furious noise, loud, sexy, angry. now they don't need to be. they are happy sitting in the background quietly making the music they want to whilst a new generation of angry young men and women take over. that is, the purists would do well remembering, is what they wanted all along.
still, this song is shit.

Elbow - Not a Job
yes. kinda like pulp. people only getting to know them after hit single despite being around for ages. interesting fact, snow patrol released a single on electric honey, like belle and sebastian (well they released an album), both pretty much languished on jeepster, both move labels, both become recognised as great. though i guess b+s were always quite popular.

Belle And Sebastian - I'm a Cuckoo

February 2004, the Month of the Pale Young Indie Cherub
i reckon its lovely that bands are making pretty, heartfelt pop without sounding yawn-tastic like coldplay. azure ray are really good.

Re: Easyworld - Kill The Last Romantic
agreed. my friend is slightly, worryingly obsessed with them. i can see them doing a snow patrol at some point along the line, they just need a killer single like run and spitting games. is it just me or do they sound like jj72? i dont know much about either but thats the idea i get.

Re: Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand
Its been ages since a British pop band of any quality (i.e. not coldplay or the stereophonics) have had the potential to be chart stars. i mean as much as i love b+s, alfie etc they don't have the image to be massive do they? i think thats why the nme have latched onto them because they no by sticking them on the cover they will sell copies to non 'indie kids'. they also sound horribly like pulp, especially the lyrics, and we all miss pulp dont we?!?! well i do :)
