You are ALL diminutive men that ride donkeys for a living but this doesn't change the fact that this is probably the best overall EES album so far.

"Squeeze My Liver" indeed...

is the highlight quite frankly - anyone got a match should be the 'festival single', and I like most of the other tracks too.

Biffy albums are always great, but I do seem to end up playing all their songs on shuffle so that I get a mix of all the Eras at the same time.

The CIN chart people cocked everything up years ago when (bowing to the boy-band era) they shortened CD singles. You see they had to buy the rights for each track which made singles loose money when they gave them to record shops for free like the early take that & spice girls stuff.

Also they limited the length of the CD, and made it so remix CDs could have 6 tracks. And if your CD had too much free stuff they docked your sales (one dance CD had too many folds in the cardboard CD case so lost all sales of that disc...).

This modern change is no suprprise, the money is in the downloads for the big 4 too. If you click on buy album it goes for the 'download album' chart, if you buy all the individual tracks it goes for the 'download single' chart. Fuck knows what happens if you try to pay for each track on your CD single in HMV individually - presumably it only counts for the A-side.

Heres to an organised campaign to get odd stuff to the top 40/75 in a few weeks when the chart calms down again. 'Bike' by Pink Floyd/Sid Barrett is my choice for the top.

where I have seen ladies urinating against the fences in the crowd by the 2nd stage because the queues for the loos are too long.

Luckily I was in for free that year (Bar, Pixies, Bar).

saw live 3 times - overran 3 times - made a big show about how they must be allowed to continue 3 times - crowd largely not interested 3 times.

I must applaude them though - I was genuinely surprised they made a 2nd album, and some of there instrumental parts were not too shabby. Back to the politics degrees then eh lads...

YOu can still get Reading Tickets wit coach travel - hammer that refresh button!

45 mins at my reckoning

Just Got 2 Leeds from here

All servers appear down on the million & one possible links.

It's funny how no-one can organise the sale of 200,000 tickets at the same time to people who are not touts.

e-bay will be hot tonight...

19 is the highest song on the album and there is now a 15 part 2 (which may or may not be after 15 on the album...)

when a band has no lyrics. They have to moan and express themselves elsewhere.

Are Mogwai any good now? I stopped listening to them around the ex-cowboy era when I discovered that Constellation Records did everything they did much, much better...

indeedey YAY

What with Patrick Duff from Strangelove touring this year too and Amityville being Geneva in disguise this could be great.

Wonder if any other big 90's bands are reforming this year ;)

I own quite a lot of Fugazi stuff and I'll probably buy the P!ATD album, but then I've got to the point in my life where I listen to what the hell I like and don't care about other people's tastes.

P!ATD will be this year's The Killers. Fall Out Boy are just dull.

It should be noted that they are much less exciting live than they should be though - but then they are just American pop stars.

SEVEN is so much better than TWELVE. :p

I'd forgotten about this.

I'll have to hunt out a copy. No actual Birmingham shops on the list, but HMV + online will make it easy anyway.

Here's to many more of these things, and a big thank you for ALL the music must go to Mr. Ferris. :)

Looks like nobody wanted to play with the Bravery then...

I'd see Giant Drag, ¡F,R!, Elbow and most of the bands whose names I don't recognise if it was closer, but I can just go to their actual tours instead.

Nothing as good as the one a few years back with Junior Senior, IMA Robot., My Morning Jacket and Keane on it though...

Well the JCB song is a re-release anyway - it got to a lofty 160 in the charts last time in June.

The video (madebythesameblokeasRadioheadsCreeep) has been going viral around the internet since April and makes the song better due to it's transformers and A-Team references.

I would have seen the band play Glasto but I was working one of the gates. Probably got rained off anyway...

And DiS - ANYONE is better than Westlife's songjacking. I swear they just get copies of other peoples songs, then sing extra vocals over the top and sell them to the Thick People who actually vote for reality TV shows. Diggers at No1 is much more interesting (even if the lyrics are mostly cringeworthy).

I believe I was there when Raz had his 'Biffy clyro - they're not shit' epiphany (SP?) at Truck!

I'd be flashing my Indie credentials a lot more if I actually had the duke's album, but as I have all 18 ¡Forward, Russia! tracks I really don't care.

Good review though, Hurrah!
