You've spelt brilliant wrong.

lovely stuff.

Or is the media attention, critical acclaim and book awards that changed your mind?

but then, she wasn't connected to anyone running those sites...

There's another good one here too - http://thesilentballet.com/dnn/Reviews/2008/TopRated/tabid/123/ctl/Details/mid/542/ItemID/1918/Default.aspx

I think I actually prefer Float though, it's a bit more my kinda thing.

surprisingly, no one knew who they were...

Same people, same vibe, just slightly different style.

I wonder what the less cerebral KoL fans will make of M83?

Some of his remixes are fantastic (Banquet, Hounds of Love, DFA 1979 etc,) but some, most actually, are run of the mill indie disco.

It just seems to be a bit stock; nothing new or exciting seems to be going on, to my ears anyway.

Only 4 cities in the UK worth bothering with my arse.

Hope they're not tired out from all those dates.

Hundreds of better festivals available for a lot less money!

for a friend of mine who isn't on the board (yet). His question is:

"Would you be in the DIS office 9-5, and therefore expected to somehow live in London on no wage, or can it be done by proxy"

If it is a full time thing, with only some expenses, then I can't see how someone not from London can apply, unless they have mega bucks.

Even transport costs?

Slim Charles FTW

excites me.

Hopefully we'll see a minimal instrumental record.

6/10

What, copyuing other people's songs?

Keeping the London show just highlights the kind of fan they attract...Nathan Barley anyone?

Elbow on the other hand...

this is fairly standard/piss poor.

The Joakim and Shit Robot remixes are brilliant though.

If you catch my drift...

was on there before I went on holiday last week.

First album was good fun, this seems all serious.

'CSS Suxxx' looks like being quite an ironic song right now...

anyone could throw a bunch load of samples over a beat and claim this record...

I really really don't like it one bit.

Fairly impressive video though, given the technology behiond it.

but they die on a big stage.

maybe a couple of years back...but I'm talking from the perspective of journalists, who are normally about 3 years behind everything.

Normally filled with some of the best selling records of year, and also those that have received the most hype, particularly those from cool, en-vogue genres (new rave last year, dubstep now).
Overall though, the list is pointless, and doesn't represent the depth in British music...Adele's record was widely received as pretty mediocore, but it's sold loads so it must be good, right?

They need to limit the entrance for bands that have sold under 100,000 records. This would give some unknown bands the attention thy deserve, whilst also opening up the genres picked from, and not simple chucking in a few toek underground, folk, jazz, classical acts.

Until then, it remains a pointless facade dominated by major label, and highlights a lot of what is wrong with the British music scene.

It sounds like someone putting a cloth over a UK garage track from 99.

, every year they go for a majority of safe bets that have iether sold really well, garnered loads of hype, or both.

Unless you think Adele album is better than Future of the Left or Youthmovies of course..

roll on the release!

What's the point in the token acts not many of heard of, they're never going to win.

What's the point of rewarding record sales and hype over musical originality and craft?

Seems to state it was his crew who threw the punches and racism, so maybe Lydon just hangs around with some nasty types.

Having met and interviewed Kele, he is a very nice chap, if not a bit sulky.

I mean why wait for the other side of the story, fuck impartiality right?

Format needs to change. Only artists that have sold under 100,000 records should be eligible, and only people with proper specialist music knowledge (not Radio 1 DJs, general journo's) should be on the voting panel.

It's blueprint is for originality and music excellence, but how have Aphex Twin, Autechre and 65daysofstatic never made the list if that's the case?

It's a damn site easier! But if you are going on the trains, definately pre book, otherwise you'll have to wait until a first class seat comes up on a late night train (what happened to me on my horror story).

delayed then cancelled flight, missed trains, delayed trains, no taxi, thunderstorms.

Put the tent up at 2am on Tuesday morning when we were supposed to be there a 10am Monday...hellish experience, but the rest of the festival was brilliant.

and Deep Elm are both awesome labels.

I was thinking about Brille then.

Or 'overseen'...like Transgressive and Warner?

Hardly an indie label if they are.

but that's like being asked would you rather be punched in the face or kicked in the balls.

Didn't sell out this year, next year it will be even less.

If there's any justice anyway...

Bit behind the times here!

Go Your Own Way (Fleetwood Mac cover)
Good Practice Makes Permanenet
Waiting For Green/Time Is An Imploding Unit

Bonanzoid Deathgrip is one of their best songs period, can't believe they dropped it from Infinity Land in favour of 'Conceal The Weapons'.

fucking sickens me!

if I didn't go there in March for a week for free!
