and it's certainly interesting to have a debate in a public forum.

but i think the main problem with this article is that it seems to view "illegal" file sharing in a very black and white way. in my opinion there's a vast difference between the likes of indietorrents - which undoubtedly exists to spread new music, and goes to great lengths to enforce a code of conduct and avoid letting people share music that the labels and bands have expressly requested not be shared, and soulseek that's an open forum with everything up for grabs and no quality control.

i think the bpi has to be accepting of that, and work with the good sites, to promote music that's otherwise unattainable. if someone wants something taken down it should be, but there shouldn't be an assumption that that's always the case.

without les savy fav?

i wish they'd be more exciting with their line ups.

plus if it's anything like last year everyone's going to miss lightning bolt (who're the best thing there by a mile) because they'll be queuing outside...

hopefully lighting bolt'll tour alone though...

a lot.

:D

the bestest band in the whole wide world. even if they couldn't play my birthday...

i absolutely adore the verve. i'll quite happily put up with utter utter shite to hear them play live.

i'm pretty sure i will be at the london gigs.

rather than just sticking a load of supposed choice quotables together.

i want.

it's good, but not particularly exciting or different to lots of other droney noise records.

i have only heard the once though, and will give it more chances.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahhahHAHAHAHAHA

i hate this band so much.

mad props.

i love racccoooo-ooo-ooon

if other good bands play.

realise they were touring

just wrong.

mighty fine record

team is tNs not tMs.

and prog? really? i've only heard the odd track, but i always just had them down as vaguely poppy post rock.

but can't afford it.

that's a dreadful lazy cover though

if this isn't one of the great albums of ever i'll be suprised...

his second lp wasn't it?

mr diver's doing well again. :D

i will give this another listen later, "post rock" always takes ages for me to get into.

refreshingly excited review.

:D:D:D:D

?

it's such an 8/10 album. good, but nit a patch on absence really.

seems far less inventive and stuff, but still a very special record.

but that especially!

i will love you til i die!

you can't get more romantic than that!!!

the bit about "i built my dreams around you" or something is just immensely beautiful.

or ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space:

I cant help falling
Falling in love with you

I will love you till I die
And I will love you all the time
So please put your sweet hand in mine
And float in space and drift in time

All my time until I die,
Well float in space just you and i
And I will love you till I die
And I will love you all the time
So please put your sweet hand in mine
Well float in space just you and i

it might be about drugs, but who cares? it's the most touchingly simple and elegant and beautiful song i've ever heard.

now...

who sang?

with a whip around based pun headline. and you know it.

when's the english release date?

out 23rd innit. i assume that's in america mind.

but whoop. does this mean they'll be playing hovisfest?

is possibly my favourite prodigy song.

GO ON!

EVOOOOOO?!

apparently. though i reckon you could squeeze more in...

i can't wait. chinchilla is the BEST for getting drunk.

i may well be there...

i need to dig out all those albums and check you're right.

i KNOW you are on volcano mind.

:P

:D

rather than get stressed.
