awesome

Diorama was my fav all time album up until I recieved Young Modern on import. Wait and see Silverchair will conquer the earth.

awesomo

Look let's get it straight the Charlotte years were amazing. From Life Less Ordinary to Meltdown they ruled.
That said Ash are probably the finest pop/rock band of the last 20 years. Tim Wheeler is a genius songwriter. Rock Mcmurray could easily be in Weezer and Mark Hamilton cool as. BTW can someone clear up a query. IT's well documented that prior to Free All Angels Ash were near bankruptcy. As they have had a lean time of late is it true Tim Wheeler has subsidised his income as a sound editor for documentaries? There was a recent documentary on C4 where a Tim Wheeler was given this credit.

Extra's

The Duke is a legend regardless of what era we listen too. On top of that he has his ear to the ground and has championed everyone from Grandaddy to TV...
Did anyone watch the re-run of Extra's last night when he sang a song about pathetic little fat man? Genius!!

American Camden Crawl?

Were there any good Saddlecreek-style or EITS acts showcasing at SXSW? Check out Jake Bellows who is part of the Mogis/Oberst/Walcott touring band. He nearly blew Bright Eyes off stage at Oxford last week.

best of the best

Fans of Mogwai, EITS etc check out the now defunct Wood and Wires

I have played the album to death and it still invigorates!!

Pink Floyd say no to $150m US tour

I can't see why they won't do it. If J Mascis and Lou Barlow can reform then anyone can reform. Lets face it can anyone think of a band that hated each other more than Dinosaur Jr?

Jimmy Eat World - Work

Still not amazed by Futures in the way that Static Prevails, Bleed america and the classic clarity ordered amazement

Hell Is For Heroes Transmit Tour

HIFH are without a doubt a must see band!!! They remind me of Pearl Jam circa ten and vs in vibe and wee Justin is a shit hot frontman!!!

KNW are shit hot too shame they're not playing Gloucester,Simon is a good guy and well Brian maiden is one of the best names in rock init ;~)

Reformed a band. Dinosaur Jr announce London dates

One of the greatest bands ever. They were brilliant in 1997. Bug and without a sound are classic albums. Be sure to go and see them !!!! ;~)

Elliott Smith: Police to Continue Investigation

either way he's gone and the music world has been robbed of one of it's most gifted sons!!!!!

well done lads

doesn't seem that long ago that they were playing the cavern in exeter just starting out!!!!!

bugger

if i'd waitied 15 mins later!!!! the strippers were amazing though as were janes!!!! truly wonderful and having been to 100's of shows 3 days was by far the best live song i have ever heard!!!!!!

needle in the hay

having time to reflect on whats happened it is becoming harder to understand the loss of a great songwriter.
what really burns is that like jeff buckley elliot clearly had more magical music to offer.
elliot smiths music offered comparisons to the great neil young while also throwing his own distinct mark on the music.

fuck

things like this bring musical bitching into prospective.
a true legend

Re: well

fact silverchair are my fav band ever and have released some of the greatest music ever i will have to point to the fact that they have indded evolved from the 15 year old grungsters to master cinematic songwriters. serioulsy listen to diorama and you'll change your opinion of them!!!!!
they went on a hiatus after neon ballroom, the across the night tour also enforced how far they have come musicallly
