no no
they really were one of the most confusingly awful 'bands' ever to happen.... and now they're heading back???!!??
that street
behind the OBL is dodgy as fuck.
o fracas
maracas - officially the greatest merchandise in all human history
wee-ell
they're from leeds
to be fair, that boy etc made me lose my shit on many a dancefloor, but everything else i've heard.... didn't
jawohl
yeasayer are ok. Once through the myspace and a whole ton of meh. Why the extended fellation (NY + beards apparently)? Ach, scene....
gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
feel like I'm never going to see GB
despite loving radiohead I would gladly give them all dead arms
got to say
what's with all the negativity? Ok they're not the bleeding edge but this sort of ire is usually reserved for hard-fi types round these rarified parts... it's just catchy, above average IQ indie-pop. Moan about something that deserves it. Or not. I won't be buying the record, but I won't be sending them severed body parts in the post either...
um
arcade.....
....fire?
heckling carrion?
now that's 'at a loose end'
sounds like
that graffiti song of a few years back. I almost like it.... almost
ha
no doubt
...
like The Buzzcocks running down the street with their pants round the ankles
now that should be the quote on the sleeve
for a bit

I thought kele was a good writer

sweet caress?
I'm in
how
curiously unpleasant. Can anyone please direct me to the nearest radon bath? Thanks.
shit
my life is fucked, this song is perfect
how
lovely
I believe
the program refers to wiley as being 'possibly one of the most powerful women in british music'. Possibly, sure. But not. Not at all.
I used to live
in nottingham. Sounds about right. I'm not going back either.
But still, chuckles.
er
airs?
oh ian svenonius
how I veer between love and revulsion with that man. His head is remarkable. It's very olmec.
and yes
I have used the phrase 'hand in hand' twice in quick sucession there. Sorry.
hmm
rather more complicated than that I fear. With 'class' divisions running deeper and weirder there than we can at all imagine in this country you're probably in a situation where the act of murder goes hand in hand with the robbery. That it's one of the most violent places in the world goes hand in hand with its history of subjugation and brutality. And who knows how to undo that sort of trauma? Not me, obviously.
wow
I mean, holy shit. Everyone knows london gives you brain damage but............
well
said
these lot can often be seen in my local. Can you imagine how hard it is to have the personification of curdled culture within striking distance every other week and not lash out? Plus, he's a big lad and there's loads of them. Ah well. Still rubbish.
you know that sex pistols
quote, either sid or john, something like 'I've met the man in the street, and he's a cunt'?
people's band indeed. Mclure for poet laureate? Yes. He's brilliant. By which I mean lumpen, obvious and tedious. angryangryangryangry 'speak the truth' for christs sake GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
this whole suicide thing
will just turn out to be an unfeasibly long-sighted movie PR stunt... he'll be there. Oh he'll be there allright.
well
the boy can write
new dawn?
HA!
KNEW it was a bulgakov reference... vindication at last
polemic?
he's not exactly henry rollins
spot on
literally essential listening for all those with a pulse
choice between nme and artrocker?
ever heard of plan b?
um...
bald twat in pink vest discovers devo? maybe?
one of the most
irritating and ill-thought out bands in yorkshire.FACT.
