the nicest band ive ever made a cup of tea for!

and not at all phased by the people waiting for methodone near the pharmacy outside.

white stripes?

didnt you do an autobiography?!
am i just missing the irony.

utterly.

amazing!

what a day....

monotonix were so insane... i kept having to remind myself that it was 5pm in a fairly posh club in leeds!
a motherfucker to follow up...
cadence weapon was truly incredible, though he didnt play black hand...bah...
DJ WEASEL!
both of them were really nice too
its all about elbow patches and faux fur hats. apparently.
had to miss yeasayer for the train...
were they utterly ace?
still. they are playing Roskilde! woop.

is it wrong

that mechanical bride's version of this at leeds festival warmed my cold heart?

this leminded me of

my 6th form awards evening but with mockney accents
and our school soul band shits all over mark ronson.

wonderful news indeed.

though i have to say that back in the thick freakness days i probably wouldnt have guessed they would last so long, or stay so good!

yey!

nastyfest!

CLASS?!

there is no class anymore

plummers can make more than lawyers

you can do hillarious degrees which are of less value than a vocational gcse

every city sees the same saturday spending spree in the same shops as we crash through our credit limits

everybody eats olive oil with fucking everything

so people cling on to some ancient idea of what working class should be - all chips soiled with newspaper ink, 20p cups of tea and worn out flat caps.

something like 2% of the population actually consititute upper class. the day the OMM does a feature on them ill be annoyed.
otherwise id argue that most of these bands are from fairly similar backgrounds compared to yesteryear and its just a fact that 'breast-oggling' shite like... oohh... pigeon detectives
is. rubbish.
REGARDLESS of some percieved notion of 'class'.

there was a bored in there

before of.
even thinking about them makes me type lethargically, such is the mundane chugging of their 'grunge' bollocks.

fourteen corners

are rather lovely.
if you find yourself of...
nine black alps...?
seriously?

very good.

they were extremely entertaining at the brudenell t'other day supporting caribou too.

was nme always this awful?

and why is it now a tabloid which seems to have the sole aim of appearing in other tabloids.

i love the felt tip art work

and this band in general.
yey for cowtown.

yes.

thought it was atlas for the first few bars.
when did garry glitter cease being a peadophile and start being cool?

the kaos remix is pretty decent though.

‘Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa’

really excited me
which is what often happens when a band rips a genre off that hasnt been ripped off for a while.
this is usually followed by a sharp decent into boredom then hate.
hopefully this wont happen with Vampire Weekend.

i like this review

and love this song
...
in case anyone was wondering.

I am now happy.

seriously.

not that it hasnt been said...

but yes, lovely idea for an article.
while I agree that some of those bands have a malubu like quality; making me feel both nausious, embarressed and nostaligic all at once... many were genuinely fantastic.
not exactly dead either...
babar luck (king prawn's mesmerizing bassist... the only person wearing full asian robes ive ever had the pleasure of seeing at leedsfest!) still does a great solo set, saw him at the 1in12 club bradford which used to be a brilliant place for such bands, hosting a monthly ska bar.
Random Hand have just released a storming album that might appeal to capdown fans.
and yes SB6 might not be for anyone
but are formidle live. seriously.
oh and king blues.
not really skacore, but political and joyous.
which is what this scene had and seems so lacking recently.
