rolyateel

has insulation-taped her nips to ensure a "wardrobe malfunction" is averted...then let her left piss flap hang over the edge of her gusset
classy!

seriously...she was awful...mainly shouting & yelping over an obvious backing track

...it's a solid 8

"We'll pick our favourite response on Monday and notify the lucky winner via private message"

still haven't got my private message...c'mon, I want my CD's

they seem well presented, and it'll be nice to have legal copies of those b-sides
will probably wait till they're £5 in Fopp though

Is it OK if I do it in 3 words...

..they're fucking awesome

now hand over the cd's you bastards...it'll save me £36

underwhelming to be honest
2008 has been a shit year for new bands...and if this is all you can come up with then I fear for 2009 too

as an earlier poster has said, CD's (and before them LP's & Cassettes) have always been overpriced. Music has been my major interest since around 1982, yet I could not afford to pay the stupid prices in WH Smiths at the time, and it's not that long ago that new CD's were £14 in Virgin / HMV

Now iTunes is the latest thing...why should we pay a similar price for a non-physical release (£7.99 per album) when we can own the CD instead? The distribution costs & cost of sale must be a fraction of those of physical shops, so someone somewhere is taking the piss, and I'm guessing the artist (those creative people you've mentioned) don't see any of this extra cash.
I'd guess at £4 being a more realistic price for an album on a download site.

I could also bring up the court case stopping a company (was it CDwow?)from selling underpriced LEGAL cd's in the UK - so what was the real reason for that?..who's rights were you protecting then?

I use a p2p network to download whole albums or single tracks.
Sometimes you hear a track on the radio, and before shelling out £8 I like to check out the whole album on my iPod to ensure I'm not wasting my money. I've been caught far too many time's in the past by an artist releasing the only 2 decent songs they've ever written as singles only to find the album I've bought has 8 dull filler tracks.
Now if I like the album I've downloaded I will buy it, and I'll probably go & check the band out live too, and if it's really good I'll tell some of my friends about it, maybe some of them will buy the album.
If the album I've downloaded is dross, it gets deleted, I've no intention of clogging up my iPod or hard drive with crap.
So who have I hurt by my actions?

What the BPI fail to undertand is that if someone is of the state of mind where they will not buy an album, they will find another way of getting it for free, either ny borrowing a mate's CD, or emailing the tracks individually....you will not stop them. It's no different to my mate giving me a blank cassette in 1984 that hed copied Japanese Whispers & The Top onto...24 years later, I'm still buying the cure's albums & seeing them live.

This constant battering of music fans only has a negative impact, all you are trying to do is protect the record companies fat profit margins. Their days are numbered, they either change their ways, or will soon be a thing of the past.

If you were to post on here about a move to concentrate your efforts on people who try to sell illegal bootleg copies you'd get huge support

...they seem like nice guys, so I wish them luck, but the tracks played on 6music last week were fucking dire lyrically & musically

...and I don't belong to the trendy brigade either

...at least you'll have another way to earn a living

this sounds absolute wank...seriously awful, lyrically banal...gone beyond scraping the bottom of the barrel & now a few inches into the dirt underneath

...the two that followed are nowhere near, both very disapointing

then went off them a bit with their second...their third was an absolute gem...and it surpised me last year how big they'd got....but it's been a nice slow organic growth rather than the huge hype that Acrtic Monkeys suffered from

I have great hopes for the 4th elpee

klaxons shite

oh dear

i've seen them & thought they were overhyped shite

lost some of it's edge when middle-class-mummys-boy-wankers-who-can't-sing-live "klaxons" won last year...although Portishead won it the year after M People, so maybe it'll bounce back with something credible this year?

will be "insufficient music taste to get a tattoo"

jug eared cunt

good footballer though...even if he does play for ManUre

"Our biggest problem was one of miscalculation over cash-flow," said Danny Blanche, co-director.

Rough translation "I'm an incompetant cunt who can't use a calculator / spreadsheet"

mind you, the line-up looked shite, so I'm not surpirsed the cashflow was a problem...must have undersold massively

that's a pre-sale link

...seetickets / gigsandtours site is so shit
have tried constantly for the 3 hours to buy tickets...error message EVERY fucking time

see if you have better luck than me

thanks for putting my feelings into words - a couple of people at work asked who I'd seen and what was it like "I can't explain" was my answer...I'll point them to this review.

Vocals: Robert Plant
Guitar: Jack White
Guitar: Johnny Greenwood
Guitar: Prince
Bass: Peter Hook
Keyboards: Ben Folds
Drums: Dave Grohl
Backing vox: Beth Gibbons / Feist
Triangle / Cowbell: Me

yep...THREE guitarists..it's my band, I make the rules.

please book them to play in Bristol!!!

sounds like the reviewer is trying too hard to sound clever...failing....and ending up sounding like a wanker

The album's not as good as A Lesson in Crime though

:o(

is fucking amazing

I'm not liking this much though.
the guitar is awesome (as it would be)...but the cover vsn is a bit too "vegas" for me

how long till Prince's overactive lawyers get this clip removed???

going to change the name to Glaston-V ???

The Fratellis
The Feeling
The Hoosiers
James Blunt
Jay Z
....what a load of middle class wank

Suddenly I have the words to Adam Buxtons "Festival Song" in my head again

that for a long time

his retirement will do for now though

agreed!
nowhere near as good as sleep is for the week...quite disappointed

on 27th March

Jemina is gorgeous, but way too young for me to have the perverted feelings I have for her
:o(

with grief

I don't think I can carry on
Goodbye cruel world

bought

woop!
:o)

and I'm guessing thats the market they're looking for
It's also been over advertised on the Tee Vee

they sort out the sound level on Beths vocals this time...they were way too quiet at Bristol Academy last month

2 or 3 great tunes & a load of filler like the 1st two albums then

them out at Gloucester Guildhall...only as it's local though

tour in the UK
I've had tickets to see them twice in Bristol (Fleece / Bierkeller) & have been ill both times
Grrr!

and while you're at it, get back over here and do a proper tour, not just 2 dates in fecking London!

..is way too low
It's a very good album & deserves 7 or 8 at least.

...yet another band who feel that the UK consists of only 3 cities

What about Birmingham or Bristol?

..it's all about the content surely?

...to see him...finally saw him at Truck...fucking awesome

i think they scraped the last bit of the barrel away years ago...and are now feet deep in the shit that the barrel was standing on

Oasis are shit
Robbie Williams is shit

does anyone really care what they think about eachother?

...of seeing the twang & hadouken! at the same gig
my ears bleed when I think about the godawfulness of it all

made a great album since 1987

most albums since have been "ok" at best...although they have contained some excellent stand alone tracks

I agree with one of the comments on here...he sounds bored, like he's just going through the motions

he'll still totally kick arse live tho!

his weakest ever albums

very disappointing, probably about 4 more points than I'd have given it.

Prince has no interest in this album charting...he took out the middle men of the record company, distributors & record shops & got his album direct to the public - all with no "speculation" as he put it.

A £250,000 lump sum when his last album only shifted 80,000 units is very good business I would imagine.

great idea...shame about the fact it was with the Mail.

and even though I'm a big fan of Prince, I have to say my initial reaction is that this album is a pile of poo...he hasn't made a great album since 1987...but will still kick arse live in August / September at the "O2"

shame
We've only just got Fopp in Cheltenham...after me knowing of Fopp for years...we finally get a store!...and then this!
Bollox
me no like
:o(

Robert Plant at Fiddlers in Brizzle on Friday...the guy still has an awesome voice. His solo stuff is OK, but you're stood there itching for him to let rip with a Zep classic....luckily he sang 5 or 6 of them.
If he's back with Plant & JPJ then I'm in...I'm sure they'll choose a decent drummer.
