it better be a goodie :-)

love themselves

although repetative, especially the vocals.

great return and most welcome

I was fortunate enough to see them live at The Portland arms with another sadly defunct band 'cutting pink with knives'
great performers and a genuine appreciation of the crowd.

Film will certainly suck.

bought it yesterday and have played it about 6 times through, it improves with each listen.

Stand out Tracks are
Dear God
Sandman, Brakeman and me
A man called Truth
Ahead of the Curve
Slow Down Jo
losin Yo Head
Magic Marker
Map Of The World

my last copy was stolen when i got burgled grrrrrrrr

but he hasn't topped his first album and earlier E.P's, so i don't expect to be blown away

welcome back guys you've been missed

were my highlight-never heard them before and was pleasantly surprised.

jefrey lewis was a close 2nd again never heard before and now i need his back catalogue-great performer

carry on under some other guise.

wise words

Bono and Chris Martin i'm looking squarely at you, is the blatant hypocrisy. Bono bought into the company (Pandemic) that make the game mercenaries, a series of games that involves invasions of certain politically hot countries, so while he preaches peace he's promoting war.
Chris Martin talks about global warming yet has a private jet. These are the peopel that should stay out of politics oh and politicians!!

:-)

idlewild returned to form on their last album.

:-)

which i heard for the first time last night, will invest in the album i think!!

very excited indeed :-)

:-)

that's the issue. It isn't a Bright Eyes record so it is bound to be slightly different, i remember hearing Bright Eyes for the first time and thinking that it wasn't as good as Desperacidos, but they grew on me. The bloke is pure talent!!

were available for streaming, not heard the rest of the album though!

i hope i'm not disappointed

???????????????

but in the words of Larry David it's otehrwise "Pretty, Pretty Good"

what you know and reinforce your opinion of something, or say the opposite to what you think. Either way they can stimulate conversation points and is that not the point?

briliant!!

Cadence Weapon is a blinder as well
Foals pretty good album, although i feel it is slightly repetitive and doesn't match up to the live performances!!

yet to get Subtle and Johnny Foreigner but i've heard good things!!

Portishead is a great return

Raconteurs

Gutter Twins

offer a totally different live experience than a stadium concert.
Festivals are often more about the experience as a whole not just the bands, and i feel that the ones that focus soley on music such as Reading and V, fall short of being a festival and seem more like a 3 day concert any way.

and for a me a contender for album of the year.

It is an eclectic mix of styles and sounds. I'd pitch it between Radiohead and Patrick Wolf especially some of the vocal parts.

he was great at the park in Peterborough supporting Frank Turner and Jonah, fantastic voice!!

pop culture causing crime - what about the numerous other factors that could be looked at rather than scapegoating music.

It is well known and greatly researched that one of the major causes of crime is criminals - bang em up i say oh and kill em Grrrrr :-)

At least i saew them [play live though!!

the new album, especially head down!!!

i was glad i saw them before they split!!

Spy Vs Spy were damn good!! as were stars rain down!

'

it's like when Take That split up, i imagine the samaritans have been inundated with broken hearted rockers needing a good old cry

i just hate whiny artists though who are struggling. nonsense i was in a band and i held down a job as well, yes it would be nice to not have to work and to focus on a hobby such as music making, but reality check people you are paying for someone to have a great lifestyle.

all the musicians who moan about 'theft' and being unable to pay for their creations would still be making music if they were on an average wage.

it is time that these artists and performers (including sports celebrities) realised the privelaged position they are in and stop crying about it!!!

All illegal downloaders are paedophiles, they will steal your job, be a burden on the NHS, move into your street with their caravans and claim benefits. SCUM!!!

Good album though!!

He hasn't played on a decent track since appetite for destruction!!

as for 'whatever' revolver!! does anyone actually care for these??

Carlsberg don't make over the hill GnR/STP pub covers bands..............

get this tonight!!

Rez what a legend!!!

but at least it fueled this argument on here, so not a complete waste of time, just ours :)

They played at one of the best gigs i've been to in Cambridge last year!!

so sad to see PGMG and blood bros break up

jesus, that's rubbish

a great band! whether they're Prog, rock, jazz, metal or punk it's irrelevant they just write some quality songs, and although live they are hardly dynamic to watch, the songs work their way into you slowly like a vine. If you don't like them then fine, i'm not crying i've just been cutting onions

the album yesterday, and i yes i am a proud owner, can't wait to see them at the Portland Arms!!!

were fantastic in Peterborough, Jonah and Frank sure can get a sing along going!!

they even did a rendition of Korn's Blind for me which was quality!!

Jonah asked me to film there encore as well.

can't wait for this bomb to drop, Keane have gone from strength to strength and a bit of G funk will really pave the way for Gindie!! A MOVEMENT I HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING FOR A WHILE NOW!!

don't think so, they got progressively worse as they went on. No real loss Lightyear were always way better!!
