brilliant album. haven't read the review, although i def will when i have time. but just thought i'd add my two cents that this is a superb record. :)
never fear...
he's definitely playing. lineup isn't complete listing yet. :)
it's streaming
on nme.com media player now. i love this man
post war years
= so so so good. better than cold war kids.

thanku for mentioning tv on the radio's mr grieves cover. somehow that managed to pass me by, just downloaded it and its bloody awesome! awesome band
that's a very
shakespear's sister cover there
i heart
The Electric Soft Parade. i completely disagree, they are awesome live. the human body EP is a particularly amazing piece of work, can't wait for this new album!
i didn't really like the just cover
but this, love it, love it!
hopefully
going to bright eyes tho on fri. ru a warwick student at all?
f*ck art let's dance
i wanted to go to that quite badly. alas i am going home to surrey to do an essay away from next door's builders.
..
i really liked this EP, but each to his own, review's well-written. be boring if everyone liked the same thing, as my mum likes to say
timmyL-
exact same thing happened to me buying tix for ryan. i saw him once before those tho- shepherd's bush, and he played for a good 3 hours, on top form. missed out on victoria gig coz our internet was down when it was announced and went on sale- was NOT impressed to find out a tour was on and had sold out. VERY VERY excited about these new dates :)
mrdxk- u post on the .org? crawling to newcastle on ur tongue is something ive read before recently lol. it does bear repeating tho- ryan's worth it!

CHRIS MCMATH, u know it makes sense :)

Enjoyed this piece but can someone please check the articles more carefully in future? There are typos, numerous grammatical errors and missed capital letters. Just distracts from the quality of the writing. X
Interpol - C'Mere
Tom McRae Requires Your Maps
this is gonna be an ace album. most of the songs are hanging around the net as live versions. can't wait to hear how the studio versions sound. comes out the same day as the new ryan adams and the cardinals double lp. how exciting!!
British Sea Power - Open Season
it's brilliant. and i would put a decent argument as to why it is brilliant but it;s 1 am and my brain is all mushed from seeing the mighty interpol tonight. that is a whole other story and i hope to see a review of tonight v soon on dis.
agreed that fonda 500 are certainly something a little different tho. saw them live a couple of years ago and never laughed so hard at a gig. very entertaining if a little devoid of melody that night.
anyway, just adding my weight to the side of the bsp lovers here.
btw, i've read many other reviews that make reference to yan's bowie-esque voice. it's pretty obvious. innit?

The Rakes - Strasbourg
Babyshambles to tour. Really.
they have not 1, but 2, charismatic frontmen who have this strange sorta schoolboy/drug buddy/creative partnership relationship with mysterious homo-erotic undertones. already you have something a little different.
there is their obsession with english culture and the celebrating of the albion, an england which no longer even exists anymore. the lyrics are colloquial, tell of everyday life and personal experiences, a la the kinks, although with not quite the same flair as the legendary ray davies.
you have the excitement of the music, the rough-edged production, miscontrued by some as laziness and/or inexperience on the part of mick jones. there is the atmosphere of spontaneity and the frenetic, energetic rhythms off something about to go off the rails.
before pete's enforced leave of absence there was this feeling that, if only he could ditch the drugs, an equilibrium in the band could be restored and they could bring all the potential they have together in the right time and place and create something amazing, a record to take to the heart, that would create a massive impact and silence the doubters.
that they haven't managed this just means they are squandering the potential they have, or pete is. but there is a hope that it could still happen. maybe.
on some occasions it looks hopeless and you despair that perhaps they lost their chance and they have already put out their best work, with all its flaws. but that potential keeps you hoping.
Kasabian - Kasabian
but really, does whatever you think of the quality of the album warrant such a harsh comment as that just above from themurdermystery?
never. end of.
Mobos: not homophobic, but are they racist?
the mobos is only open to those who are deemed to make music of "black" origin. while it's fair to have an awards ceremony for a particular genre (like there are classical and jazz awards), it seems perverse to be referring to it as a black award ceremony.
and if the term urban has been tainted, perhaps it is time for a new "buzz-word" to encompass the genres deemed of "black" origin- eg. blues, rnb (rhythm and blues), rnb (modern rhythm and bass), dancehall, reggae, rap, hip-hop, ska, etc., or an acronym like Mobos, that at least does not refer to race.
sorry if i've reiterated all points above but wanted to get my thoughts in. holly X
