and i liked your review. but i did think the record was rubs. its just a pale imitation of something like after the goldrush. and the lyrics are awful. rant over.

this record is an absolute stink bomb. i could smell the whiff wafting out of the speakers.

is one of the year's best, no?

and yes

i don't think it's been mentioned at all, outside of blogs and stuff maybe

:)

i was there and it literally bored my pants off, mostly.

in no particular order:

mt eerie - lost wisdom
the wave pictures - instant coffee baby
grouper - dragging a dead dear up a hill
dot rotten - rip dot rotten
lil wayne - the carter 3
trim - soulfood 3
times new viking - rip it off
arthur russell - love is overtaking me

awesome

this album is soooooooooooooooo good. a little long maybe, but really beautiful/amazing.

they played new romantic which isn't even on l.m.'s album. laaaame

elbow better than burial. apparently.

in the end, no

the community aspect should feed off that, not visa versa

just got arses on the brain

tres sorry for the label

doesn't play with them any more

to have seen this

an abomination

to some extent (although maybe not in this case) the credit crunch is a valid excuse. definately a mixture of people having less money to spend (or feeling like that's the case) and oversaturation of gigs and festivals

why is it that average bands always use ridiculous hyperbole when they talk about the new stadium anthem they're writing

wrong!

means cutesy and twinkly. like the diskettes or tiger trap. i don't think it's a bad thing, i just can't see how the wave pictures are it - for me tween means sort of cuddly rather than odd or esoteric

when i saw zane lowe bigging them up on the dreadful big weekend coverage, i actually thought he was joking. implausibly awful

not twee. i'm starting an official campaign against the misuse of this word.

are completely atrocious

for pineapple folk

NOT! arf.

too pure are kool. the new francois/ray rumours 7inch is the sex

brilliant. there is a big fat horrible strain of misogyny in user comments on dis sometimes...

i.e. good hip hop = white hip hop. the mistake they made is that jay z's image is too 'gangster', even if he's made some great records. they should've got kanye, innit.

what a disgrace. and russell howard is virtually unlistenable, literally sub student radio standard.

supporting on the english dates too. wikid.

slow club

yes, its pretty easy to guess what i'll be reviewing by looking at my weekly charts. i'm a slave to the word.

but i'd say it's the bands who are letting 'the working class' down, as much as the press.

having said that the OMM is insufferably bad. on sunday they compared laura marling to sylvia plath...shoot me.

now playing the manchester date. whoop.

best £70 i ever spent

in manc. he was awesumm. no ceiling collapse, though sadly. although the management did come to tell him to turn it down, which isn't quite as rock and roll.

deehunter. boo.

gotta be

this > 12 crass songs

on second thoughts i don't think he did. duly changed.
