that they end it with, "I am probably right too."

Words fail me.

with previous albums? AC have been lauded by critics for ages but its only now that you'll hear them in HMV wheareas, well, Paramore were on a Guitar Hero game, which, as we know, is the real measure of success these days :/

at the Joiners in September...

Tremendous.

Two dates at 10 years eh!

never seen this before, thanks.

I'm looking forward to this so much. Roll on payday. Got Some is so fucking good.

Please.

or ever, in fact.

I like Wraithlike too. The rest is pretty pish :(

And I was really disappointed by Marnie Stern. More so by her sleaze of a basis, who decided that she'd encourage sexist views of herself and her pal. CLEVER.

I've quit downloading now, it just makes me feel like a bastard. I know people who have a ridiculous amount of music on their laptops etc but how much of it do they actually listen to? There was a good interview on here with Geologist from Animal Collective and he made a great point that an album you don't like can be a lot easier to return to if you have a physical copy, otherwise you just forget about it as it becomes submerged into all the other mp3s on your pc.

People complain about the deluge of shite (Fratellis, Hoosiers etc etc) but if people didn't gorge themselves so much then this gash wouldn't get made.

Another good piece.

I can never remember the order of the verses to that song.

interesting review. Ten is a pretty bizarre album in context but I still love it. Listened to Vs yesterday and the anger is much better than the earnestness.

To be fair, Eddie Vedder was pretty fucked up for most of the nineties.

not so sure about the review. Half of it is about the cover!

Last time I checked an opinion was an opinion, not a fact.

sit down.

but the live renditions of the new songs at Latitude were just dull and Into The Chaos (the only finished track I've got from Radio Wars) is ok but nothing special.

The first album was haunting but all the signs point to this being watered down.

Lots of bands write good b-sides that get pushed off albums. This doesn't mean they have to resurface like this a la Arcade Fire. It was a better song before (and it had a different name).

:D

Intimacy is my favourite Bloc Party album. Most consistent imo.

If he goes swimming in it he might lose a hand.

Either way, I wish I could go. ATP has pinched my pennies.

its a good album but the relentless happy does get to me after a while. Its funny that despite the absence of the 'difficult' songs I still find this album to be as much hard work as other Animal Collective records.

the hallmark of Latitude last year.

"should the dream comedy package tour of Crystal Castles, Crystal Stilts and Crystal Antlers ever come to fruition, the only must-see is the last"

Crystal Stilts = batshit awesome.

NO DENGUE FEVER?

reminds me of Tin Soldiers by Stiff Little Fingers.

I will get this, then. REM get slated these days and I'm not sure why. Well, I am, but it still blows.

I want that album. Great article.

the quality of their writing is awful.

I love you.

or what.

for the explanation.

but yes, an interesting review.

have the artists stopped commenting on the tracks?

and always been a bit intrigued, this review has tipped me over the edge.

Great writing returns to DiS!

Girls Aloud can do no wrong.

or Librarian live.

in Madrid. They were awesome.
