Much, much better than real news. What else isn't happening in the world?

Look at how old and fat Josh Homme is now

Newsflash, Kele: you ARE indie

very shit-fi-beach-gaze-punk-esque, very 'now', very 'hip', very 'in'

dunno why folk make a big deal about franz leaving. i always found the keyboards to be superfluous and sounded as if they were added to the songs later on. in fact, they ruined some songs for me, like 'sequestered in memphis', which i can't listen to at all because of the m.o.r. piano in it.

I'm a big fan of Our Court, but I'd be more inclined to cast Daniella Westbrook as her. Brittany Murphy should've actually got the job, but she went and died and missed her chance. Might as well shut down production on this film for that reason alone...

But yeah, we don't need this and I'm not quite sure why. Aside from, y'know, it probably being utter shit. I think overall it'd just be really embarrassing and hard to watch, mostly because Nirvana is already really well documented in documentaries and footage and MTV stuff and all that. We know how the story goes, we (or quite a lot of us) were there. I don't want to see some fakers re-doing the whole thing for some bucks. Or something like that.

Corin is the best

He has the worst and most predictable titles for songs ever

In the space of about 11 minutes, I became informed, utterly fascinated and then totally disinterested by this whole thing.

and renamed 'Conversation 16' to something different, because that sounds like the name of a crap band from the '90s or one of those girl groups Prince set up, like Apollonia 6 or whatevz.

Far superior than Box of Secrets and feels a lot more like a natural progression from their earlier songs, almost like it bypasses the first one completely. I seems like they've held back on the distortion and haven't gone overboard on the production on this. I don't think 'When We Wake' should essplode at the end like that, though - it should burn out nice and slow, but it's not my song so whatever.

Much more than 'Colours Fade'. The verse riff is a particularly good thing

Since this line is featured in a GFJD review, I'm not sure whether it's supposed to be negative or not...

with John Paul Jones and Dave Grohl as guest players.

Eleanor is his sister. Gross!

but I think I'd be daunted if I ever got the chance to talk to him. Even if he instigated the conversation, I'd probably think I was intruding on him.

One thing I find a little odd is that he's commented on Daisy by saying their intention was to make a record they wanted to play live, but later he says they don't want to or have many intentions to tour and that they like recording.

That Dom, he just can't help himself. This sounds like fodder for an absolutely critical disaster anyway.

Well, not rubbish, she's just not top 12 material. Kim's definitely better.

Carrie Brownstein isn't just one of the top 12 female guitarists ever - she's probably the best guitarist ever.

Julian Casablancas is such a cool name to not have a solo career with it. Here's to hoping it's good!

I wonder if the music in this preview is actually what it'll sound like, or if it's just used for dramatic purposes. idk, who does?

LOL?

and I hope the Ross/Walker thing is Pinkerton/Shins-esque too. Ryan Ross is pretty cool. Oh well, the world turns.

It's such a good photo

Incredible. It isn't a re-hash of 1995, it's stuck in 1984!

Word-processor must've gone to shite.

Especially after reading the insights into the songs: they actually mean something more fascinating than "Uh, this is about a boy/girl I went out with who I broke up with later on".

but I will on 4 December, I guess.

as a "pop band"?

Albini doesn't even produce, just records songs as they are played, with the use of his preferred equipment set ups. He's not like most producers who polish turds with layers of guitars and keyboards and whatnot. The bands have got to supply the great songs, not leave it down to Albini.

I wonder how much more legendary you can get. Bowie?

Pretty fan-bloody-tastic live and stuff. Just wowonderful

awful, actually. I always thought Stephin Merritt inspired shoes would be more brogue-y and clunky.

I guess he must've had second thoughts about fancying himself as a record producer.

For shame, BO
