It was supposed to...

But then the release got pushed back and pushed back...Plan B went and reviewed it about six months before it actually got released!

OC rule...

i saw them play a few years back in NYC. they've come on a ways since some wilderness...try and check out the 'song for the singer of panthers' 7" that came out last year in the UK. it's totally sweet.

Wow...

that's a horrible sleeve.

Duluth??

In Atlanta?? If they lived somewhere that hot, the music wouldn't sound at all like it does!!

Yes!

I completely agree with this review! Finally...I've read a ton of gushing reviews of The Greatest and thought maybe I'd gone mad...

This song...

is amazing. Too bad the rest of the album sounds like Dildo.

Tras...

was the name of the first EP, not EP A, wasn't it? Anyway, this Warp release is pretty decent stuff - but it's all brain and muscle, no heart. Live is where they are at at the moment, I reckon.

Top 2005 for me...

were:

1)Bonnie Prince Billy/Matt Sweeney - Superwolf

2) Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary

3) Blood on the Wall - Awesomer

4) Constantines - Tournament of Hearts

5) Josephine Foster - Hazel Eyes, I Will Lead You

Hmm...

I actually left this show early because I thought Hella were bloody awful. They used to be tight, melodic, fucking inspiring to watch. The sound at LSE was pretty dreadful, but even then the 4 piece were...a mess. With the exception of the ever-great Zach Hill.

Green Man

Jeffrey Lewis was awesome at the Green Man Festival this summer - especially the Will Oldham track!

Sleater-Kinney - "We’re all really opinionated, intelligent and pretty obstinate human beings..."

Oops - yeah. That should have been clearer. Interview was with Corin Tucker.

Re: Sleater-Kinney

Ah, you're killing me!

Save CBGB's

has anyone been to CBGBs recently? it's shit. it's a shame, but it's like a crap hard rock cafe or something with the t-shirts and merch...plus no one good plays there anymore. there's no point keeping it going as it is.

Le Tigre - Grrrls On The Run!

Awesome band, awesome interview.

The Subways - Oh Yeah

UM. Does anyone else see a striking resemblance between their cruddy logo and another band's logo?

The Strokes anyone?

This shit is weak.

Trail Of Dead. UK. Do the maths...

say it ain't so!
well i've got my tickets for ULU anyway. i've never seen em before.

Robbers On High Street - Fine Lines

robbers are playing tomorrow night at the barfly...
should any of you be round camden way.

Bearsuit - chargr / what, you've never seen snow before?

yeah, bearsuit are great. they're playing in farringdon this sunday with help she can't swim. which should be wicked!

The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster - The Royal Society

you talk about soiling your pants in reviews quite a lot...
i just thought i'd point that out.

Musical hero John Peel dies age 65

Man - I just hope when I'm in my 60s I'm as dedicated to and supportive of new music as Mr Peel was. x

The Stills

i saw the bravery in NYC this summer and they were fucking awful. does the bassist still do that idiot swing pose? ugh ugh ugh.

Paris goes worldwide - Warners stump up the cash!

Whatever - Nigella's not that fuckin nice. No one married who married Charles Saatchi could possibly be.

Franz Ferdinand - Michael

Hehe. Nice review Gareth.

Minus The Bear - Highly Refined Pirates

...now this sounds like my cup of tea.
nice review!

Re: TV On The Radio - Desperate Youth, Blood Thirs

they're playing at bush hall in london tonight instead.

The Distillers - Beat Your Heart Out

she sings eaxctly like Courtney Love. EXACTLY!! it's a joke.

Curtis film on the Cannes cards

"He's not as shit when there is stuff to look at as well."
- what a resounding endorsment of his musical talent...

Curtis film on the Cannes cards

fucking moby involved?? jesus christ...

Sonic Youth - Nurse

blah blah blah...do you actually need someone to describe what Sonic Youth sound like?

Sonic Youth - Nurse

great review...i'm almost afraid to listen to this record. i hope it means as much as that.
