A - SUPER FURRY ANIMALS

A is the answer!

A is the answer

A) 'The Past Is A Grotesque Animal'

I believe...

its Answer A!

memories

he supported Arcade Fire at their first UK gig at kings college. even win didnt know who he was.

very very strange support. what a gig...

you're very wrong

this is an excellent review of a very promising band. if you're going to be dismissive of an album be constructive. saying just 'balls' is just lazy

the cribs

were fantastic at the water rats in march, one of the best gigs ive ever been to.

albums bound to leak anytime soon too!

T

Sigur Ros were amazing in the pet sounds arena last year. better organised then reading, and there are less annoying drunk public school brats clogging up the place

af

have made a good point, i dislike bands who actively seem to want evrryone in the whole world to listen to them and are prepared to do anything for it (ie that imfamous quote by ricky wilson about jacking off a tramp)

and mr alex head, good super troopers reference!

all of a sudden...

...is definetely a grower, compared to their last album which was the opposite. at first i liked the album, now i think its brilliant

and my tickets came today for the koko gig. if its as good as the 2005 islington garage gig we're in for a treat

argh!

i so want to go to this. shame ive not got the money, or friends who would be willing to go with me...

modest mouse are playing a ATP show at the royal albert hall on the 23rd of may (has that been announced on here?) so it wouldnt be a surprise to see them playing at minehead...

bullshit

emo, schemo, its still shite whatever genre it is. i didnt like the review because its utterly wrong and hugely sycophantic. im sure the band would love to hear that they're 'good, clean, fun pop'

and that song title about suicide is fucking retarded

no silent alarm

if silent alarm is in the top 6 i couldnt take this list seriously.

im sure Dis posted a story a while back about how the NME was forced to change its top albums of the year (putting silent alarm at 1 instead of arcade fire). surely Dis isnt under the same pressures? probably not, but i cant explain why silent alarm could be above funeral, or EITS (wrong album totally, HSI was released somewhat reluctantly) or about 50 other albums...but maybe im just crazy

razorbore

i remember first seeing this band at the joiners in southampton over a couple of years ago, and it was a really good show. i was a fan for a while until they released golden touch (which was shit)but this band simply have not progressed since that gig - their albums are poor anbd how they want to capture the radio 2 audience is just sad. they did some good early singles for indie clubs, but have been shit since then. they bore me to death, and why does xfm play this so much!

funeral marches

i think i want 'my father my king' by mogwai. not only do i like it a lot, it'd also annoy people at the same time. it'd have to be played very loud as well

matador

this is my favourite record label ever ever for a few reasons,,,,tho ive read interpol have left them now

errm

arcade fire - funeral
turn on the bright lights - interpol
the earth is not a cold dead place - explosions in the sky
the strokes - is this it
love is hell pt 1 - ryan adams
( ) - sigur ros

lennons

saw mystery jets there a while back, its tiny, a bit of a dive and its fucking hard to get a good view. so it'll be a good gig!

i think its about 100, or around that mark

scala

just got a ticket to the scala, get in!

reading thefts

i lost my phone during the cribs set at reading despite it being in my front jeans pocket. think it was more a case of being knocked out of my pocket rather then being nicked

the quiet area at reading was white camp which was across the river. the powers that be stupidly decided to put all traffic in there on thursday and left two archaic boats to get people across but thats another story.

there is no way to stop crime at festivals, if cunts want to nick stuff they will. just dont take ipods, take copied cds instead of the originals, take a 12.99 stereo from asda instead of the one you got for xmas. wear beaten up converse instead of spanking new ones...its common sense. its a risk, but its one you have to take (even tho you shouldnt have to)

sadly, life can be shit. and at the end of the day, losing an ipod isnt that BAD compared to some crimes that go on

bo

remember seeing them support the earlies at the borderline a few years back, good stuff

v

my girlfriend is a regular goer, and i do mock her for it

but radiohead are worth it, and i might have to go on ebay nearer the time to get a ticket. why couldnt they play T the bastards!

spiritualized

a spiritualized gig performing either Lazer guided melodies (200 bars would be amazing) or LAGWAFIS would be astounding. not likely to happen...Spiritualized live at the royal albert hall is a great live album of the vast majority of LAGWAFIS songs....

mind you, id give my right arm to see the title track performed by Jason with a full gospel choir

Franz Ferdinand - Do You Want To

ive never been a huge fan of ff but i really like this song...theres not much to it but its catchy. i dont know about the new album but i bloody like this song.

maybe mike diver wasnt the right person to review it. he quite clearly dislikes anything that sells more then a few hundred copies. he probably thinks he's being original by slaughtering this song

Arcade Fire: no more gigs 'til next album

having seen them at kings cross and the astoria they are probably the best live band ive seen...and i was hoping they'd do a big tour later in the year...i think they've played maybe 7 - 8 gigs in the UK (not including carling festival) which isnt enough.

even though im a huge fan, it'll be hard to top funeral - though maybe im being a pessimist.

No Ozzy equals the What-Fest? Singer to step down in 2006

carling is watered down urine. it's ghastly, and yet they're everywhere! im sure i saw their banners at the joiners in southampton recently

ozzy really should retire completely he should think of what legacy he want's to have. ok i dont like his music, but black sabbath are considered as one of the kings of their genres. he's becoming a joke, and his wife should be silenced too...and his kids should be too!

Back to Bluntdom: Your 'Beauty' Corrupted The Kids

whilst at uni i work in a supermarket and for weeks i thought 'beautiful' was some dross being sung by joss stone. either way it's awful. it's perfect 'supermarket radio music'

most people do have bad taste (or at least what people who come to this website would define as bad taste) but hopefully (and this what should keep people going) there'll be at least some people buying this c***'s music and will be inspired to get some good music when searching for more

perhaps im being too optimistic...

Arctic Monkeys tour

they're playing the pyramids?? i thought they'd play the wedge first as they played the southampton joiners in may, but they are getting big very quickly...

The Arcade Fire

im going to try and go to the astoria gig, im at uni on the south coast so its a hassle when im not in london.,,,,couldnt afford to go last night but there was no way i was going to miss it. i think it'll be great at the astoria, as the crowd will be more into it. the fact it was their first gig outside the US made it even better!

The Arcade Fire

i was there last night, and i thought it was simply one of the greatest gigs ive ever been to. the hyperbole surronding them is more then true. i was lucky to be right at the front (behind the ones leaning on the stage). the two mates i was with, along with me, danced quite crazily.

go see them at the astoria

Re: Long-View, Delays & Johnny Panic for Portsmouth charity gig

im at uni in portsmouth, and this show hasnt not just been announced it's been on sale a while now

not too sure what my point is, but theres one in there somewhere

Re: The Arcade Fire - Funeral

ive been listening to it today and it's simply staggeringly brilliant.

can't wait to see them at kings cross in march!

then bright eyes the next day,,,,,should be good!
